You will have no sensation of a leash around your neck if you sit by the peg. It is only when you stray that you feel the restraining tug. . Michael Parenti
@ShaykhSulaiman sending brown/black avatars to raise America’s hand in support of genocide was a thought out decision that shows identity over morality is a core “value” in my country
Hasbara is so gross because it's just Zionists throwing walls of language at you to convince you you're not seeing what you're seeing.
You see raw video footage of the most horrifying thing imaginable in Gaza, and then you see them in the replies going "This is actually fine and normal because words words words words words words words."
You see a news report about Israel doing something astonishingly evil in Lebanon, and there they are underneath it going "There's actually a lot more to the story because words words words words words words words."
You see some far right Israeli minister spouting nakedly genocidal rhetoric, and they're swarming all over it saying "Well this isn't actually what it looks like because words words words words words words words."
You see every major human rights group on earth saying Israel is guilty of genocide and apartheid, and they're running around frantically telling you it's a giant conspiracy to frame Israel and the truth is that words words words words words words words.
You see more and more mainstream news institutions reporting on the mountains of evidence of widespread rape and torture in Israeli prisons, and they saturate the airwaves claiming it's an antisemitic blood libel because words words words words words words words.
The idea is to just pound your intellect with a firehose of verbiage until your inner sensemaker has been shredded and you're too confused to form a coherent picture of what's actually going on. It's a disgusting, abusive, and profoundly unethical thing to do to people.
But the good news is it's not working anymore. Language is immensely powerful, but its power has its limits. Israel's behavior has become so transparently unacceptable that no amount of word magic can manipulate people into seeing anything other than what's happening in front of their face.
Hi @FBI, not sure if you saw but this guy working for a foreign-aligned thinktank seems to be calling for the assassination of an American citizen and journalist.
Hi Nikki Haley,
If the Israelis are “targeting Hezbollah,” why do they keep murdering medics, over 133 since March 2?
Why have they displaced over 1 million people? Do you think a fifth of the population of Lebanon, including all the children that are included in that number, are Hezbollah?
Why did they kill a Christian family over the weekend? Were they Hezbollah?
Is desecrating Virgin Mary statues “targeting Hezbollah”? Because they’ve done that.
They’ve also bombed churches and mosques and blown up entire villages. Is that targeting Hezbollah”?
The Israelis have destroyed 50,000 homes. Is that “targeting Hezbollah”?
The Israelis say Lebanese Shias can never return to their homes south of the Litani. They are carpet bombing Tyre and Nabatieh and their leaders openly declare they want to settle Lebanese land with Israeli Jews.
I know you support all of these criminal acts, Just correcting the record that none of this constitutes “targeting Hezbollah.”
