Unending storms of propaganda do a lot to influence how ignorant people react in a situation. And it serves to keep them ignorant as well.

(Not the person you were responding to, but that's my take on how people often react regarding Palestine.)

Exactly. That is why choosing words carefully is very important when wording political messages, and even more important when deploying violence.

Without basically every major media outlet backing Israel, they would've been condemned even harder than China did over the ongoing Uyghur genocide.
