Is it really so that Israel hasn’t actually done enough horrible stuff in Gaza, that you have to make up blatant lies? I find this a bit hard to believe.
I don’t find hard to believe, they literally prosecuted a lawyer for exposing evidence of soldiers raping a Palestinian prisoner. Right after dropping charges on them.
If anything abuse and rape is the norm for Israeli authorities.
I guess because this place and many others I visit keep pushing a certain narrative on everyone, and some of that seeps through even to a functioning brain like mine.
The narrative that’s pervasive in America, albeit it seems to be slipping, is that Israel has historically been painted as a positive ally to America. I experienced this myself not a week ago with a friend of mine who’s just now starting to think critically of the world around them. He was shocked and didn’t believe me at first when I mentioned the atrocities of Israel, and it took quite a lot of scrolling for him to eventually see they weren’t the golden boys that news has so far painted them as.
Whether you believe it’s AIPAC’s doing, or the defense contractors, or whatever source it may be, televised news outlets even now still seem hesitant to portray Israel in an overtly negative light.
To sum it up more directly: If you go from “these are our friends” to “those friends are genocidal,” the population may have a hard time believing it, as it goes against that which they’ve heard all their life.
