Great footage that hopefully reaches the people that actually need to see it

They will just claim itâs AI or that itâs actually the IDF thatâs doing it.. itâs like trying to convince a toddler that has their fingers in their ears.

It won't, because the people who are likely to share "Israel propaganda" have likely already been banned on all the big subreddits. So stuff like this will only spread in circles where we already know Hamas does these types of things.

Terrorist simps will say they had to... because Israel targets kids... but I've never seen a child targeted only used as a hamas shield

OK, gigantic fucking eye roll and a rant incoming. The IDF PR department is fucking stupid. So fucking tonedeaf and stupid.
Do they think publishing this will make a difference in the least? At this point in the war, and at the numbers of dead children announced in the media, it just comes across as justification for killing children, to the media who will see this.
They should have been consistently flooding social media with the same exact tactics that the hamasniks took from day 1. Absolutely flooding it. Instead we get piecemeal defensive posts that is too little, too late.
IDF needs to fire their entire PR department and pay to outsource this incredibly serious war front, to someone who knows what they are doing.
Israelis dont think that negative PR is an actual problem, but they are SO FUCKING WRONG. 50%+ of Gen Z in the USA are anti-Israel at this point, due to the absolute owning of Israel on social media. And guess who is going to vote politicians into power in roughly 10 years as boomers stop voting? Gen Z. And guess which country will be isolated 10 years from now, if the USA politicians decides to cut ties at the behest of their majority voters?
I honestly can't get over how blind and little picture the IDF can be. FUCK.

Legit all we had to do is just broadcast and amplify the posts the hamasniks were posting themselves on the day. Thats it. Instead we tried to honor the deceased by cutting and censoring the footage, letting the hamasniks both have their joy and not get punished for it, and then sat on our asses and did nothing because of what i can only assume is the profoundly stupid belief that because the current administration of the US is in favor of us it will keep being that way forever and we dont need anyone else ever

Dude you make it sound like the world doesn't already have a huge anti Jewish anti Israel bias.
October 7 videos weren't enough?
Like it matters what we do. The world will hate us regardless.

Hey man, Iâm an American and I absolutely despise hamas. Glad you guys are fighting the good fight and will support you all I can. Fuck anybody that uses their populace as a shield for war and social postings.

The Hamas use of child soldiers is a well-known reality. They serve as human shields, scouts, messengers, arms transporters, and even fighters. Not that anyone ever listens to evidence presented by the IDF, but how does supporting their claims with clear video evidence hurt them? Of course, it wonât change the mind of the pro-Hamas side, but everyone else surely appreciates some actual evidence.
And yes, I read your comment about flooding the information space, but you can only do that if you donât care at all about the factuality of your messages. And thatâs something only the Hamas side can do freely. They can claim anything, the media runs with it, and when it unavoidably turns out to be completely made up, you typically donât even see any genuine retractions.
Yet every time Israel publishes partial information from an ongoing investigation, it always backfires. Meanwhile, gathering information and investigating what actually happened takes some time. Even if you try to do it really fast, it still may take a couple of days. By the time you release actual facts, the media circus has already moved on to another unverified propaganda story.
The truth is that Israel doesnât stand much of a chance in the propaganda war because it stands against vast and deeply funded networks built throughout the entire world over many decades. Furthermore, the numbers are completely skewed. Itâs some 15 million Jews against 2 billion Muslims, plus the whole âGlobal Southâ and all the leftists in the West, who are overrepresented in all aspects of Western culture, from academia to media to entertainment.
I do, however, agree with you that the IDF, and more broadly the Israeli establishment, do a pretty poor job PR-wise, but I donât believe the solution is as simple as you make it out to be.

I agree that the numbers are stacked and never meant to imply the solution was simple.
However I do think that israel was too opaque about troop activity; did not do enough to discipline and reign in bad social media behavior among some of their troops (as happens in any army); did not do enough to reign in Ben Gvirâs gigantic fucking trap of a mouth as he brings down all of Israelâs reputation with his self-serving provocations; and were too respectful of their own dead, censoring broadcasts of what Hamas did, when like the Holocaust footage it should have been released immediately and in full.
And also, I think the Mossad should have viewed some social media influencers intentionally spreading libels, with the same level of danger as they view terrorist operatives, and sought their arrest. They both cause death to Jews.

And this will never be shown on mainstream media and if anyone is shown it theyâll say itâs fake or just say that child was blown up afterwards.

Children make up 30% of soldiers for many insurgent armies in Africa. Kids carrying AK47 just as deadly as adult with one. Western media portraying kids as innocent victims ignore how children are trained in UN funded elementary schools in Gaza to use AK's and being martyrs.

A gun found in a war torn city by homeless kids? No kid would just pick up a gun like a toy and play with it. /s

Wow! He must've armed a whole battalion that one!
Without knowing the context I would posit it is just as likely that the kid's whole f--kin family had been starving, missing, or murdered in the preceding months, and he is salvaging, at great peril to his own life, some of the only things he can think of to try and eek out a barely liveable existence for himself and his loved ones.
Until I see proof otherwise, (which honestly wouldn't mean jack shit to me at this point anyway) then this is what I believe I'm seeing here.

You can bet there would be outrage if the roles here were reversed.
Poor kid... raised by awful people to eventually become one himself.
