I find it plausible that Israel leadership didn’t care. As if it’s impossible, whatever. If it was real, they could capitalize on it to push for genocide at a faster pace via playing the victim. As it was never going to take over the country.

The only surprise was that this time, a huge number of people aren’t buying the revenge is okay story.

Huh, guess that wasn't quite such a hyperbolic comparison.

Turning it into a hyperbolic comparison immediately diffused just how apt the comparison is in other ways

Is that when you shove a cattle prod up a corpse's ass to shock its prostate and harvest the sperm?

Not only didn't care, but saw it as an opportunity (the article does not say this, of course)
