    People gobble up Hamas propaganda and repeat it. On social media a lot of things have become facts that aren’t proven or were shown to be false. For example the alleged bombing of the hospital or the alleged bombing of the escape route.

    On the other hand, most people don’t even know that Israel is constantly bombarded from different sides and that there are ongoing attacks on their settlements etc.

    People online don’t know because it is an ongoing info war which is very unequal. Hamas and other extremist islamic groups win by numbers alone because the majority of Muslims unquestioning stand behind Palestine.

    About 79 % of Israelis are Jewish, there are 16 million Jews world wide.

    99 % of people in Gaza and 85 % of people in West Bank are Muslim. 1.8 billion people are Muslim world wide!

    Palestine, Hamas and activists invest into social media and propaganda a lot because that’s the war they will almost certainly win. And it comes with huge benefits people seldom acknowledge.

    Just think about it: Hamas was able to conduct a mass killing and abduction of civilians and continues to do so and people are justifying it left and right. You don’t see the faces of Israeli victims or photos of the destroyed buildings on Israel’s side online.

    You should definitely look up some less biased sources.

      Are you saying Hamas made up Deir Yassin or what are you getting at? Can you, for a single moment, be actually concrete in your accusations? What, precisely, did I say that is supposedly Hamas propaganda?

      For example the alleged bombing of the hospital or the alleged bombing of the escape route.

      The escape route bombing happened. The hospital bombing didn’t happen… this time. The IDF has bombed hospitals on other occasions. And don’t get me started on what’s going on in the West Bank.

      And Israel doesn’t?

      You don’t see the faces of Israeli victims or photos of the destroyed buildings on Israel’s side online.

      Are we living on the same planet? It has been all over the news. Now Israel’s completely disproportionate response is all over the news. That’s how news cycles work.

      You should definitely look up some less biased sources.

      I’m actually, as already mentioned, a Zionist and quite well-informed, thank you very much. Thing is: I gave up in despair when the fucker killed Rabin, for the first time realising just how fucked parts of Israeli civil society are. Back then it was a national tragedy, now Israel has a minister of national security who called for that very assassination. The short of the story is that it’s better for the Jewish people for there to be no Israel than a fascist Israel, and y’all are heading right into that direction with ever increasing speed.
