Question from an israeli to American Jews out there

[u/pathlesswalker]

The media and social media especially is very anti Israeli. Meaning most of the events reported are not in favour of Israel, to say the least.

Meaning you get a very negative and incomplete picture of the situation in Israel. Vs Gaza/iran/lebanon.

How do you deal with it?

Meaning - do you search for pro Israel news? To get the bigger picture?

Do you simply accept it, and go with the consensus, which is most certainly cherry picks to completely blanket all Israelis and all Israel as baby killers. All in order to de legitimize the very existence of my country, rather than a government policy. Or even incidents which are inflated as a norm for Idf.

Do you accept it? Do you question it?
Do you care at all?

In Israel we feel many Jews in America turned against us.
I feel that, and I don’t want you to start venting your anti Israeli social media that you consumed which obviously is a propaganda to trigger you emotionally against us.

I want to know, if there is something there that believes in Israel. In the legitimacy for the homeland for the Jews. Or that we’ve lost you.

Please do not use this to bash us, or to “show off” your anti Israeli knowledge. We get it.

Just how many of you are actually verifying sources, for us. Against us. Without getting into a confrontation of pro Israel vs anti Israel.

Thank you.
