PROTECT YOUR CITY.
DEFEND OUR
FUTURE.

Extremist networks are hijacking local councils around the world through “municipal diplomacy.”
We know how to stop it.

Extremist networks are quietly hijacking local councils — pushing radical resolutions, disguising their agenda in “peace” and “humanitarian” language, and bypassing national governments.
The Sword of Gideon equips communities to expose these tactics and keep local government truly local.

They're infiltrating our cities! - Watch the video

While the world looks away, extremist movements are quietly gaining influence inside city councils, one resolution at a time.
 

Watch how they do it, and why your community could be next.

Unmasking the Threat

They don’t storm the gates, they walk in the side door.
Here’s how:

The Trojan Horse

Wrapped in “culture” and “aid,” these partnerships look warm and fuzzy. But inside? A backdoor to budgets, legitimacy, and platforms for radical networks.

The Shortcut Around Democracy

When national governments shut the door, they slip in through city hall using local councils as their backdoor to power.

From Inside the City Walls

Once they’re in, it’s game on: Twinning with cities in Palestine, Divesting, school exchanges, city branding, taxpayer funds, all run through their ideological filter. 

What are we facing?

strategy
The Municipal Trojan Horse
  • Severing ties with Israeli sister cities - erasing decades of peaceful cooperation.

  • Twinning with Gaza - legitimizing extremist regimes under the banner of “exchange.”

  • Divesting $ Millions from Israeli companies.
     

  • Blacklisting companies over foreign policy

  • Creating “Apartheid Free Zones” - weaponizing language to demonize the only democracy in the region.

Coordinated Disruption, City by City

These groups don’t show up alone. Rather, they come armed with mobile apps, scripted speeches, trained operatives, and detailed playbooks. They know how to harass elected officials, avoid arrest, and flood council meetings with manufactured outrage.

We Don’t Watch. We Act!

Here’s how:

Expose the Playbook

Radical networks count on staying hidden. We blow their cover and expose their tactics, name the actors, and show exactly how they hijack local councils.

Wake Up the Public

Most people have no idea what's happening at city hall, until it's too late. We rally parents, neighbors, and local leaders to speak out before policy turns political.

Keep city halls local

Your town isn’t a battleground for global ideologies. We fight to keep city halls focused on residents, not radicals, and decisions rooted in community, not agendas.
