Israel vs Palestine is a propaganda war

which humanity is losing big time

Stop calling it Israel vs Hamas for a start.

Thatcher was right, you don't negotiate nor give into the demands of people because they are bombing you. The British couldn't just leave Ireland because we were being bombed. Politicians do things for votes and personal glory. The Good Friday peace agreement, claimed by Blair, wasn't due to politicians nor to pressure from the IRA. It was due to pressure from the groundswell of public opinion at the time.

Israel could chose ‘Just like the situation in Northern Ireland and South Africa, the Israeli government has the choice to end the cycle of violence. Netanyahu could, today, lift the blockade on Gaza, stop settlement constructions in the West Bank, recall the IDF to internationally recognized borders, end the second-class citizenship of Palestinians living in Israel, and commit to a peaceful, democratic reconciliation of the conflict. Unlike the Israeli government, the Palestinian people do not have this option. If they did, they would happily take it and end their oppression.' (From Joewrote.)

But given the track record of covid and Ukraine; Israel, the US, lapdog UK and Lockheed Martin know they can get away with a different script and the public will tolerate it.

I'm nearly 60 so Mandela was in prison for half my life. We didn't have social media then, but we had Simple Minds and Peter Gabriel. It seemed liked humanity had woken up to something better. Millions marched in London protesting the war in Iraq. Gay pride was full of joy.

Humanity has been lulled back to sleep walking into division and hate. Our governments openly support Nazis and bomb the shit out of ‘dirty’ Arabs under ours noses while we are either completely asleep or protesting green policies or obsessing over the damage caused by vaccines.

This is a war for public opinion. And humanity is losing it big time.
