    The average Israeli citizen has been fed propaganda that rivals Russia since day one framing all their nations actions as defensive and necessary. And (broadly speaking) until this war only a few states would argue against this.

    It also goes deeper than I initially knew, and Israeli schools and Israeli media fully include Gaza and the west bank wholly as part of Israeli, leading to a belief it is “occupied” by Palestinians, as well as teaching and reporting on Palestine only as terrorists, while enforcing this apartheid state.

    So you have now generations of Israelis raised on this, gleefully committing war crimes because they believe it is rightful and just because the Palestinians are all Hamas. Yes even the children.

    The level of Propaganda and how successful it has been is horrifying. This was the deliberate goal of the extreme Zionists in Israel, and their success means horrifying things for the world.

      But shouldn’t the people who live in the west bank have a better idea? Probably not a big enough to influence elections but I have also heard that Palestinians in west bank are regularly abused by Israeli civilians
