That is hosed up but then why would he change his tune now instead of going along with US line that Israel should be allowed to kill as many people as it can.

Noah's take was way lame but, the framing of it is excellent and probably a better tool for convincing normal people who have passively marinated in decades of western propaganda than (correctly fwiw) pointing out that Zionists are nazis

I'd interpret this more as a sign of the sea change forcing their hand rather than giving any credit to Trevor Noah for doing the right thing. Liberals who watch the Daily Show don't really need convincing, they're already primed for whatever the tv man tells them to believe, and the tv men are all pissed off about the AP getting bombed.

Finally watched this video and it's good.

I don't know why people were making GBS threads on him so hard earlier in this thread.

I guess he didn't display the necessary amount of revolutionary zeal.

While he doesn't come out and say that Israel is a fascist ethnostate that should be dismantled, he is obviously correct in saying that you should just simply look at the power relationship between the parties involved.

That Israel has all the power, and therefore they are also responsible for all the violence and death.

The main issue is that the power relationship is irrelevant. Even if Palestine was as powerful as Israel, the fact is that Israel is attempting to colonizeing Palestinian land. Land that even they agreed was not their own. Not to mention they never really had the right to any of it anyway besides what Great Britain stated, THE colonizing power of the world, who colonized Palestine at the time.

visiting my parents over the weekend, my centrist-liberal father was really pissed about israel bombing the AP building. not that them blowing up that particular building was what pushed him over, he has been DTI for awhile, but it's an anecdotal point

I'm seeing alot of people saying that something is really changing regards to the narrative, but what if it's just ephemeral? The media is in full swing trying to bury this. The loving AP fired a reporter on the spot for being part of a pro Palestine student group after having their offices bombed.

I think it's absolutely fair to say that this time things played out differently than they have previously. The hasbara narrative didn't seem to get nearly as much traction as it usually does, despite US politicians doing their unbearable Likudnik schtick. It's also absolutely fair to question whether or not this indicates a trend, because yeah, I'm not sure there's evidence of that either. I hope so, but we're not likely to know until the next time poo poo flares up

Just remember that last year, Defund the police had genuine mass support and now it's dead. We don't have free speech in our societies, it's just manafactured speech.Bombarding people with lies seems to be enough to pacify them.

There's no reason to assume that any of this will bear consequences in the near future or even years down the line, but Zionists put a ton of effort into the "war of words" for a reason, and it's because Israel needs unconditional support from America to survive as a settler state.

movements typically advance in fits and starts. Right wing media and even the New York Times have written about how the protests last year made the mass mobilizations for Palestine possible this year, and I don't think they're completely wrong.

Palestinian solidarity with BLM was definitely a factor in how many black activists were willing to risk blacklisting from the Zionist media complex.

also just bc the media stops reporting polling numbers about support for police abolition doesn't mean people actually en masse forgot about the protests or just suddenly don't care about living in a police state. well lots don't care and never will but it still absolutely radicalized loads of people across the country

Hasbara's problem has always been that it's too successful, which is why they're so bad at making any kind of positive arguments in favor of Israel. When it's too easy to lie and get away with it you'll just get really bad at lying. I don't doubt there will be a backlash, but I don't see how it will be received as little more than the pathetic bleating of entitled babies who are losing their grip.

My right wing adjacent friend has been sending me choice bits of idiocy from the ar15 dot com forums for a while now, and if you want to get a sense of what support for Israel really looks like this is as good a thread as any.

despite the terrible cost, the Palestinian resistance really outdid themselves this time, they genuinely brought the fight to the regular Israeli in a way no Arab army was ever capable of and made the price for the typical Israeli moron (e.g they don’t get to have peaceful beach days or live their normal daily lives), also in the Arab world the sheer barbarity of Israel and their settlers was a big boon to anti-normalization activists and media. Arab morale was significantly improved after a decade of nothing but disasters. also the western world public opinion saw a massive backlash against Israel, big ups to that.

also what also helped was the unprecedented mobilization of 48 arabs in historic palestine and the massive strikes, the only real questions to be asked is what happens to sheikh jarrah, can the evictions be halted and how to overcome the problem of Mahmoud Abbas and his thoroughly corrupt collaborationist fatah clique.
