was the bloody intention.

see as much of the full picture as possible.

I DO believe most are not anti-Israel nor are most antisemitic (despite some attempts to paint all as such), but rather anti-Netanyahu and his policies. Still, this trend can only accelerate given the Iranian debacle and Bibi's extension of mass indiscriminate civilian deaths in Lebanon. Direct parallels to Gaza, indeed.

It is hell from a humanitarian standpoint both in Lebanon and Gaza. But once a large enough number of people don’t even believe anything is real when they don’t want to…
After a while that doesn’t even get through to people who should be recruited to shut down the source of the aggression.

It seems easy these days to live in entirely different media universes where people believe that it’s all Pallywood actors etc.

I read that on Yasha Levine’s blog. Reminded me of that Aurora shooter. I think Yasha and other Jewish critics probably also worry about blowback to Jewish people. I don’t personally know Yasha, but he is a good man and I am saddened to see him and his family get stressed by it all.

I have seen this with relatively rational Hindu family members. Where some sleazy influencer out to manipulate human emotions puts out outright false propaganda and riles them up.
And its counter version does exist for other faiths. Once it goes down that path it just gets more and more dire.

Israel has a lot of genuinely respectable academic scientists. Surely they don’t want this endless war for endless peace dynamic? They must have some influence? Corrupt politicians, defense contractors don’t care about anyone. War is a racket. It is all about money.

But could a reminder that this is not the life you want. Being on the defensive is non-optional, but on the offensive this aggressively is madness. I haven’t checked out Forward etc in a while. It will only lead to more ostracism and provide fodder to true anti-semites who find this exciting.

There are other avenues to hammer on beside inadequate criticism of Israel. Because if you do sample some parts of the left, were you someone with a strong majoritarian identity I see that stuff I tune out on autopilot appears to skew the weight of the material realities of all humans in war zones versus images or representations of the world.

Media literacy isn’t very great and it does allow people to reinforce their beliefs with misapplied invocation of deep fake, ai.

This present media environment is poisonous and it is the perfect tool for this Machiavellian fascist wet dream..what is wrong with these parasitic warmongering mercenaries making bank from this?

Don’t know what the point is of saying anything with stuff like this. No one cares and nothing sane will ever register on anyone on any front ever..
