Clearly Hamas is the very caricature of evil so anything less than sadistic violence must be done for propaganda purposes

In that case Israel could learn a thing or two because they suck at coming off as anything other than genocidal maniacs.

:say-the-line-bart:

During the Cold War, the anti-communist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them. If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.

Where is this from? I want to know who thinks not killing a dog is propaganda.

You would think Israelis would feel relief with each freed hostage and use that lesson to reconsider their barbaric policies towards Palestinians. But no, it seems like their thirst for vengeance is only growing and they are itching for the ceasefire to end to unleash hell.

Israel is a cop nation, and cops gut instinct is to kill any dog on sight. It confuses them why someone would go out of their way to resist the dog killing urge if not for some insidious gain

why do they have to so relentlessly not be the bloodthirsty terrorists that we portray them as?
