Propaganda works.
Not only that but people get bored with "old news". Even if supporters don't turn against you, they quit being enthusiastically for you. The lesson learned is that if we're attacked again like on 9/11, we ought to kill however many of the enemy as it takes to make them surrender, and do it quickly enough to be done with in a few months.
No feeding the poor and no "win over hearts and minds" like Bush. No notifying ahead of time where the attacks will be like Israel does. Evidently the leftist propaganda will still be against you and eventually convince the masses that you're the bad guy. So finish the job quickly and hard enough to teach the enemy to never ever ever attack you again.
Lest we forget, Tucker Carlson and Margorie Taylor Greene have been working overtime to promote the genocide story.
“Propaganda works.”
It does. Very effective.
I just read a repeated thread on the debunked “evil Joos burn Christian village” story — no, Jews ran and fought a grass fire, village and church saved — and, while it was soundly debunked (again) — the same posters kept posting the same lies — and the occasional well-meaning casual reader was shocked and presumably left the thread believing the lies.
With the MSM and all Democrats (except the PA senator) constantly slandering Israel -— and there being no rebuttal in the MSM — it’s no wonder antisemitism is growing.
It’s like Germany circa 1929 or so.
Far too well.
In today’s world it’s hard to distinguish with so much out there
I think destroying Hamas has proven longer and more difficult
It’s been an optics nightmare
They haven’t much choice

Yep, and my Tagline is still accurate.
