The Israel lobby can try any social media tactic or political campaign maneuvering as they wish, but it will not paper over the abject cruelty they have inflicted on the human beings of Palestine, Gaza, the West Bank and parts of Lebanon. Many nations gave and still do give plenty of the benefit of doubt to Israel to a level that implicates us with the horrors committed, but this genocide has gone long enough that people and countries have lost their patience.
If Israel wishes to rehabilitate their image, the first step is to stop killing Palestinian men, women and children. During each ceasefire deal they’ve shown themselves incapable of that.
The second step is to treat their prisoners with a minimal level of dignity, and stop torturing and having them raped. They can deny it or saying they’re investigating the exceptional case, but since that UN report on the de facto policy of torture, the onus is on Israeli’s part to show to an international standard they have completely ended these practices.
The third step is to let go of aspirations of Greater Israel, and get serious about co-existing with Palestinians and their neighbour states. Part of the dogma around their historic lands echoes expansionist rhetoric of Hitler. So if they want to not be compared to Nazis anymore they should stop acting like them and cooperate in a regional, democratic peace.
Bombing schools full of children, hospitals full of sick people, targeting doctors, targeting aid workers, targeting journalists—there’s only so much propaganda can cut through.
Honestly can’t tell if this is propaganda or if she’s really that bugfuck nuts.
The dead children are even getting to American Jews, Hurwitz said:
“You have tiktok just smashing our young people’s brains all day long with video of carnage in Gaza. This is why so many of us can’t have a sane conversation with younger Jews, because anything we try to say to them they’re hearing through this wall of carnage. I want to give data, information, facts They’re hearing it through this wall of carnage.”
Hurwitz said that Holocaust education had failed with young Jews. It caused them to see heavily armed Israelis as Nazis and their emaciated Palestinian targets as the objects of sympathy.
Israel’s wars against its neighbors are in the U.S. interest.
I don’t know this is a lie.
You need to start with wars are in US interest. Neocon movement is a Zionist supremacist one, where a strong US military budget is needed to donate a small portion of weapons to Israel, and to fight Israel’s wars with the rest of it.
In that vain, then 9/11 was in US interests just to galvanize harder Israel/neocon support. Where Islamic terrorism doesn’t exist for anarchy, then US support for Israel is the root cause of terrorism. That there is/was a Zionist arab coalition for the 5 wars in 5 years project to topple regimes, doesn’t make it Americans interests. Purpose was entirely to keep oil prices high to suppress competing supply to coalition. Just as US interests are war, they are also high oil prices. Much easier to get cooperative world without supporting evil, or needing to oppress communism/regimes that spend oil wealth on people.
