It’s fucking wild that people are just paid to shit post and troll in the defense of murder. I really dislike all of this. This whole time and place we’re living in. If it’s not the Correct the Record then it’s the Russians. If it’s not the Russians then it’s the Hasbara. If it’s not them, then maybe China, or a bot or an AI. The world’s going nuts from social media and the rich trying to set everyone’s brain on fire, and then there’s this shit. How much more synthetic does the world need to be? How can these forces not understand they are engaging in evil shit, just for the sake of it!

“The diplomatic mechanism relies on the hasbara mechanism,” he said. “Success in the war is reliant on this component. There’s no alternative to the civilian abilities here and on social media. It’s one of the most critical fronts right now.”

Gitam Media Group CEO Ido Har-Tov told the meeting that his company had set up a 200-person situation room that was focused on creating hasbara content.
“We’ve begun to create between 40 and 50 videos a day,” he said. “We have tens of millions of views. We can be the country’s most significant tool in hasbara.”

“Our goal is to explain to people how they can do [hasbara] themselves and explain how they help us become viral,” she said. “The country, with all its complexity, doesn’t have the tools to manage this fight. It needs to be done on the civilian level.”

Buckle up baby, it’s everyone’s turn to drink from the fire hose.

“Good” article, thanks for posting.

This seems more like an example of wrong place wrong time because nowhere in the article does it state that they were specifically targeted. What it does say is that they lived right next to the fence and that they and their neighbors both had safe rooms. To me, when you (and your neighbors) feel the need to build a fortified room to protect yourselves during a potential attack that says this area is potentially very dangerous.

Also, stop conflating the Palestinian people with Hamas. Not all Russians are committing war crimes in Ukraine. Not all Americans stormed the US capital on J6. Not all Saudis were on planes on 9/11. We do not need to further dehumanize ANY of the people who are now suffering through this now and the MANY who are continuing to have suffering brought upon them.

Nobody can excuse attacks on civilian populations for revenge. This goes both ways. And whether or not this poor sweet lady and her husband are still alive, I’m sure she would be equally abhorred that her life’s work is being used as an excuse to undo the very thing she worked towards.

Edit: I’ve been informed all homes in Israel must have safe rooms by law.
