I find it interesting, and slightly disturbing, that it is always described as the Israeli Hamas war, when it was Hamas who started it, little things like that can have a major effect on people who don’t delve into the details.

Israel is losing because it chose the hasbara strategy, while its opponents chose the propaganda strategy.

Hasbara is the explanation. Propaganda is 70% lies and 30% manipulation of facts.

Lying always wins because lying is easy. There is only one true version of the event, but you can come up with thousands of false ones. The truth is always what it is, but a lie can be made beautiful. To find out the truth you need to look for facts, check them, and this takes time, but for lies, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V are enough.

Well, and most importantly, hasbara is carried out by Jews and those who support them, and the rest of the world is engaged in propaganda. Russia, China, Iran, progressives of all countries, international organizations, Marxists and just freaks.

It's just the way things work in the world.

Agreed (sadly.) So we need to turn it around. How do you suggest? Im seeing more and more people waking up to what’s happening, but I still see a lot of young people who aren’t.

The solution is both simple and complex.

Doing what we have to do.

Only defeating Hamas and demonstrating that Israel cannot be destroyed will render all attempts at lies and manipulation against Israel useless.

An unprecedented information war waged by Iran (China and Russia), the UN and international organizations is aimed at saving Hamas and trying to force Israel to surrender.

If Hamas is destroyed, this pressure will decrease many times over.

I agree with what you say needs to be done, but given what happened as a result of the ‘67 war and Hamas and others saying we will never give up (destroying you) I’m not sure it will truly turn anything around. It will hopefully stop this wave of warfare though. That still doesn’t get the message through to a good many of our young knuckleheads. 🤪🥴🤔🤷‍♀️
