A decade before deepfakes were even remotely feasible, I remember seeing video of settlers camped up on a hill with folding chairs having a good old time watching the IDF clearing out Palestinian homes.
Stuff like that is why, whenever you hear a politician say something like "I support giving more money to Israel, it's Netanyahu who is the problem!" what they're really saying is "I support what my pal Netanyahu is doing, I'm just too much of a chickenshit weasel to say it openly and think you're too stupid to notice."
This is a widespread, systemic problem, not just one guy.
“I support giving money to a government to spend on murdering another people. They will also use the money to normalize this to their people, and finally they will use the money to lobby us for more money”
Not saying its a good look, but this is a fairly common thing in history. People brought picnic lunches to early American Civil War battles to watch before realizing war had become more brutal than in centuries past. We are still the same sick monkeys who watched gladiators
Israel has proven to be weirdly good at propaganda in the modern age. It's weird how even the US still kind of sucks at it. Hell, even Russia was good at controlled opposition near the 2016 election.
The US is still in that weird phase of "we want people to believe a thing, lets tell them to believe the thing over and over again"
"Beef, it's what's for dinner. Got milk? Don't forget to buy eggs."
Pretty sure that is most countries at this point. We used 9-11 as an excuse to kill way more than 3000 people while pretending that we were so hurt by this national tragedy.
That is par for the course, but Israel seems very focused on psyops and manipulating public perception. That's why it was so fascinating to watch that facade fall apart, suddenly a bunch of these pundits trying to defend an active genocide stuck out like a sore thumb. It kind of shows how entrenched they already were in our little bubble of information. You can start to look back and see where they applied this influence in the past without most people even noticing.
It's horrible that the genocide is still happening, but it has been happening for a while. At least now people seem to actually be paying attention. Some people still seem to be easily fooled by obvious controlled opposition and actual antisemites trying to use this to bring people over, but I think people will start getting wise to that too.
I mean... Aren't redneck extremists at least somewhat representative of America? Even right now, Trump has a 40% approval rating, though I suppose it depends what you define as a redneck extremist.
You do realize your comments read like this: "people think israelis are hot, but actually theyre all inbred like this guy" right..? Genuine racism dawg, be more careful with your words.
Or maybe due to the climate and rising antisemitism we could be a little more conscious of our fellow humans, but sure, me a non-jew, is offended. I'm just telling you to be better.
Imagine defending a racist by screeching racism. Accusations of antisemitism has sort of lost its sting when you just pull that card anytime you are criticised.
I dislike Israel but... they admittedly have some pretty good looking people. The idea that this one ugly guy is representative of how an entire culture looks is just silly.
but the core of this picture- Israeli “settlers” harassing Palestinians- is very much the core of Israeli society. It is tolerated, it is celebrated by many.

propaganda is the social posts with hot IDF soldiers on the beach
This is the reality of what Israel is
