when the same guy who just certifiably lied about the “hostage calendar” pops up to tell you something new, it’s not just that you shouldn’t trust him, it’s that you’d have to be a fucking idiot to trust him

I constantly worry that I'm on the same side as literal neo Nazis who hate Jews. But I tel myself, I hate the actions of Israel, they hate the Jewish people, we are not the same.
That is very important to keep in mind! This article dives into that topic as white supremacists are split and different factions are exploiting each side of the conflict
I am not an account, hehe. I do talk about antisemitism sometimes, but really the overall context is just pitfalls to avoid, and stopping fascist infiltration
one reason the IDF is losing the propaganda war is that at some point, after you lie enough times, people will stop trying to parse every claim and just assume you’re lying. this is simple enough that there’s a children’s story about it
Working in an elementary school, I had students that lied so consistently that if they said the sky was blue, I'd have to double-check.
And others that said the truth so constantly, that if they said it was a kaleidoscope of colors never seen by mortals, I'd take them at their word
The White House is threatening to withdraw Israel's visa waivers over the West Bank settlers, which would have been inconceivable on October 6th. Biden is lying to us when he says he is uncritically believing them. We've stopped vetoing UN resolutions on Israel's behalf. Things are happening.
Adds more cracks to Israel's internal political coalitions. The end goal of this process is to create a credible threat that Americans will abandon Israel, and that starts with bullshit like this.
(As Chamberlain could not threaten Hitler at Munich, so too can Biden not threaten Israel).
It’s funny that the press ran with them for as long as they did because they’ve been constantly burned by them over the past month and you can tell they’re sick of getting burned.
I think the purpose is to get you yelling at your Christian Zionist uncle during thanksgiving about an Israeli actress dressed in a hijab doing nurse cosplay vs calling your senators about a ceasefire. It’s purposely bullshit information for the reactionaries to bitch about.
Really have to believe that the target audience for this stuff has to be those looking for any reason to justify their position on what Israel is doing to Gaza, no matter how flimsy or morally depraved their views

The goal is to provide political actors with as many distractions and excuses as they possibly can.
Even when it's absurd and unbelievable, it adds to the confusion.
