People gobble up Hamas propaganda and repeat it.

Are you saying Hamas made up Deir Yassin or what are you getting at? Can you, for a single moment, be actually concrete in your accusations? What, precisely, did I say that is supposedly Hamas propaganda?

For example the alleged bombing of the hospital or the alleged bombing of the escape route.

The escape route bombing happened. The hospital bombing didn't happen... this time. The IDF has bombed hospitals on other occasions. And don't get me started on what's going on in the West Bank.

Palestine, Hamas and activists invest into social media and propaganda a lot because that’s the war they will almost certainly win. And it comes with huge benefits people seldom acknowledge.

And Israel doesn't?

You don’t see the faces of Israeli victims or photos of the destroyed buildings on Israel’s side online.

Are we living on the same planet? It has been all over the news. Now Israel's completely disproportionate response is all over the news. That's how news cycles work.

You should definitely look up some less biased sources.

I'm actually, as already mentioned, a Zionist and quite well-informed, thank you very much. Thing is: I gave up in despair when the fucker killed Rabin, for the first time realising just how fucked parts of Israeli civil society are. Back then it was a national tragedy, now Israel has a minister of national security who called for that very assassination. The short of the story is that it's better for the Jewish people for there to be no Israel than a fascist Israel, and y'all are heading right into that direction with ever increasing speed.
