When Propaganda Meets the Wall of Truth

By Walbe Ogak

In recent days, public discourse has been charged with emotion rather than reflection. Many have rushed to attack Shabul for his statements, yet few have paused to engage the issues he raised. In a democracy, disagreement should inspire debate, not abuse.

In politics, propaganda behaves like a ball thrown against a wall — the harder it’s hurled, the harder it rebounds when it meets the wall of truth. Shabul has made his point. Instead of resorting to insults, why not engage him with facts and prove him wrong?

When people fear opposing views, it often shows a weakness in their own argument. The power of democracy lies in its ability to accommodate dissent, to test ideas in the open, and to let truth emerge stronger through dialogue. Silencing a voice does not erase a fact; it only postpones its reckoning.

True politics should be about persuasion, not persecution. The greatest minds in history were often misunderstood before they were heard. Those who genuinely serve the people do not run from questions — they answer them with clarity, confidence, and evidence.

True leadership and mature politics are not measured by how loud we shout, but by how sound our reasoning is when truth hits back. The wall of truth may seem silent, but when struck hard enough, it echoes — reminding us that facts, not fury, will always have the final word.
