Or they're literal paid shills working in the name of nationalism and "diplomacy"

I don't know about that guy. There's soooo much weird stuff going on there. He uses such an odd mixture of words and lingo that it's like he's from 4 different countries sometimes. Always look at who upvotes him though. They certainly like what he has to say and they can't all be crazy.

It's fucking wild that people are just paid to shit post and troll in the defense of murder. I really dislike all of this. This whole time and place we're living in. If it's not the Correct the Record then it's the Russians. If it's not the Russians then it's the Hasbara. If it's not them, then maybe China, or a bot or an AI. The world's going nuts from social media and the rich trying to set everyone's brain on fire, and then there's this shit. How much more synthetic does the world need to be? How can these forces not understand they are engaging in evil shit, just for the sake of it!

"The diplomatic mechanism relies on the hasbara mechanism," he said. "Success in the war is reliant on this component. There's no alternative to the civilian abilities here and on social media. It's one of the most critical fronts right now."

Gitam Media Group CEO Ido Har-Tov told the meeting that his company had set up a 200-person situation room that was focused on creating hasbara content.
"We've begun to create between 40 and 50 videos a day," he said. "We have tens of millions of views. We can be the country's most significant tool in hasbara."

"Our goal is to explain to people how they can do [hasbara] themselves and explain how they help us become viral," she said. "The country, with all its complexity, doesn't have the tools to manage this fight. It needs to be done on the civilian level."

Buckle up baby, it's everyone's turn to drink from the fire hose.

"Good" article, thanks for posting.

I've never missed a vote in my life, though I can't say I've been wild about any of the outcomes. Let's hope Dems can get their shit together this year because the last 3 haven't been the most inspiring.

“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.

“These protection jackets and helmets don't protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. ... We lose our lives for no reason.”

 

Palestinian health authorities in Hamas-controlled Gaza said Israel struck a convoy of ambulances on Friday that was to leave al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City and head to the south of the enclave to evacuate injured people.

Concluding her post, the Academy Award winner called for a ceasefire, writing: "Palestinian and Israeli lives—and the lives of all people globally—matter equally." "Anything that can prevent civilian casualties and save lives most be done," she said.

Although some followers praised the Maleficent star for her statement, which had received more than 777,000 likes at time of publishing, others slammed Jolie for refusing to choose sides.

"How did you manage to say so much without saying anything at all?" said Marcelina Maria.

The letter posted on Israeli journalist Amit Segal channel to 184,000 followers says that "the nation of Israel will stand up bravery to strike at its enemies," according to a translation of the Hebrew. It goes on to justify targeting sites even "when the enemy hides behind a human shield."

A short NYT video (1-2 minutes) of interviews with displaced kids. At a U.N. camp in southern Gaza, children have been forced to flee their homes and live in squalid conditions while trying to make sense of a war with no end in sight.
