NOTE: What follows is an unfinished draft of an assessment produced in the early summer of 2024 to explain the Color Revolution aspects of October 7, 2023.
The assessment was never completed because it became OBE (overcome by events) due to events surrounding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before Congress on July 25, 2024.
Because the assessment raised points that needed to be surfaced, the decision was made to publish it. Aside from correcting grammatical and structural errors, the draft assessment published below is “as is.”

BLUF:
This report argues that recent events in Israel and the United States are not isolated incidents but are part of a coordinated global revolutionary cycle, characterized by color revolution tactics and political warfare.
It states that internal destabilization, ideological conflict, and the merging of Marxist and Islamic movements are being used to undermine national institutions and reshape societies, with October 7, 2023, in Israel presented as a key example of these dynamics.
FIVE KEY POINTS
- Color Revolution Tactics in Israel and the U.S.
- Both Israel and the United States are experiencing coordinated color revolution tactics, with the 2020 U.S. events (Purple Revolution) and the Israeli Supreme Court crisis that led to October 7, 2023 (Black Revolution).
- Internal Destabilization and Ideological Conflict
- Internal destabilization is driven by ideological conflicts, with Marxist and Islamic movements interoperable to undermine national institutions and reshape societies through information campaigns and mass protests.
- Role of Key Figures and Open Communications
- The actions and rhetoric of figures like Ehud Barak and Shikma Bressler, who are portrayed as leaders of the Israeli Left, are using open communications to coordinate opposition and potentially encourage military insubordination or coups.
- International Synchronization and Influence Operations
- A global revolutionary cycle, with international actors (such as the Muslim World League, China, and the United Nations) are synchronizing efforts to influence events in Israel and the West, including preplanned media and legal campaigns following October 7.
- Weaponization of Narratives and Alliances
- Terms like ‘fascist,’ ‘nazi,’ and ‘right-wing extremist’ are strategically used by both Marxist and Islamic actors to suppress dissent and isolate groups, while alliances between the Islamic Movement and the Marxist Left are leveraged to advance their objectives across multiple fronts.
These points collectively argue that recent upheavals are part of a broader, orchestrated effort to destabilize and transform societies through political warfare and revolutionary tactics.
