yeah this whole "please show restraint" poo poo from the US is not to prevent destruction, it's a "wait until our carriers get there otherwise the genociding is way harder"

Think it's a lot like the situation Israel sees itself in. Genuine concern about the narrative surrounding the conflict, Israel's apartheid and genocide is much, much more salient now than it's ever been before, they (the administration) knows they're in deep poo poo when it comes to how this is playing out domestically and internationally but they also aren't gonna give up on their little crusader state they've worked so hard and invested so much in propping up. Basically they know they're hosed and are trying to hedge (which will fail, anyone paying any amount of attention knows exactly what's going on)

yes but if you think that means the US is supporting Palestinian genocide then you have been tricked by fake news and need to check your sources.

also israel is dropping US bombs from US planes paid for with US money on Gaza, but, see above.

Global News Calgary interjected that "don't forget Hamas killed babies" while reporting the good treatment of the elderly hostages. Literally 0 babies were killed by hamas. This consent manufacturing sucks.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

yeah as a preteen i fell for it pretty hard, also boomers were all 20 years younger so they were the majority of the "adult population" and also wanted to do a war really hard. plus it's easier to manufacture consent for a war using a terrorist attack as the justification when said attack was in the country you're manufacturing consent in. hard to get any population of people to desire war over an attack that happened on the other side of the world.

I remember the on the ground footage from the Iraq invasion, and it was largely supplied either directly by the US military, or by journalists embedded within the US military, so every bit of footage was effectively under military control, since they had full control over where journalists would go and what they would see.
Now everyone has a smartphone, and can livestream atrocities as they are happening, no filter, no outside control.
Unless someone cuts off the power and the Internet.

The media was also MUCH more trusted back then. Is was widely seen as a legitimate 4th estate maintaining democracy, keeping the world informed, and the powerful honest.

We're still butting up against that perception from a lot of people, but it was basically monolithic back then.

none of this is similar to 9/11. the ongoing genocide can always be dismissed as "those people that have been killing each other for thousands of years, oh well." (which is how a coworker described it to me last week)

a direct attack on a carrier or the mainland though, and yeah it's game on :(

Back then you had newspapers (including online) but social media hadn't taken off yet, so it was a different media environment. It's all shoved in your face much harder now.

Also, there seems to be quite a strange divide opening up between the Establishment of politicians, press and hangers-on, who are frothingly pro-Israel and ordinary people, who are much more detached, or pro-Palestine. I don't remember that divide being there in 2003.

Aside from bloodthirsty establishment ghouls like Biden and nutty evangelicals, most average people don't give a gently caress about Israel; and honestly, why should they? For all the whining in the media about how they're a "key ally" that we "must" support, I don't see what's in it for us with this partnership. Thinking of things only in terms of what's in it for number one is a very capitalist way of looking at the world, but why should we care about Israel's defense?

e: Yeah, we all know the answer to the latter is 'fat defense contractor profits' and American imperialism.
