Do they not have one of the most advanced propaganda operations of all time? How much harder could they possibly go at laundering their image?
I think that's her point - they're trying REALLY hard and failing to win hearts and minds. I think she's not making any sort of moral claim here, just talking about the propaganda being so bad.
Like, just look at the fucking tik toks of IDF kids dancing or whatever. This is official Israeli-sanctioned propaganda and they just make themselves look horrible, which they are, but propaganda should try to make them not seem horrible.
It's not a very insightful tweet, but it's contra.
But the idea that the Gaza genocide doesn't have supporters within and outside the country is unfortunately very incorrect.
For sure. That seems to be what the person she's responding to is saying - it's "natural" for people to dislike Israel because of them... y'know... committing genocide.
But that's way too optimistic. It is not natural (for everyone) because they still have lots of support. Especially from foreign governments, if only a minority of the people.
But, at the same time, Israel is failing at propaganda I think in part because their position is indefensible. They are openly committing genocide. Their leaders routinely go on record saying extremely mask-off things about intending to commit genocide. The IDF brutalizes defenseless people on the regular and destroys access to basic necessities to cause maximum suffering to normal people who just want to live their lives. Their propagandists have a really hard job, but they're super well-funded and are still failing.
I'd just leave nature out of this discussion. There aren't any cruise missiles in nature. (I think the way "nature" is used here is more akin to "moral" rather than "human nature", both subjects with their own set of problems)
Israeli leaders being able to say absolutely ghoulish things and openly calling for genocide without Israeli society ripping appart and without Israel loosing much foreign support, both materially but also from western liberal media who are still on Israels side in most matters, is Israels propaganda doing it's job.
Yeah fair point. They don't need popular support abroad. They just need weapons, money, and US sanctions on their adversaries. They get all that from US and Europe.
