Does the US really want to play this game? 90% of Israel's water comes from desalination plants, and now we've given Iran the justification to strike back in a similar manner.

When Russia invaded Ukraine, a lot of Russians bought the "special operation to de-nazify Ukraine" narrative. Some still do today.

When the US invaded Iraq, a lot of Americans thought it was to free Iraqis and destroy WMD.

It took the end of WWII for a lot of Germans to realize what was happening in the concentration camps.

Israel is not a special place with people fundamentally different from the rest of the world. People are pretty much the same everywhere, and propaganda works everywhere.

A lot of Western media believed it until the day of the invasion.
