new atheists have always been calling themselves “cultural Christians.” Dawkins was late to admitting it because he knows it’s a bad sound bite that makes him sound like a dumbass.

Israel is complete dogshit at PR
In my memory theyve bungled every time theyve had to defend their ongoing atrocities and were only helped by a media that never questions and never fairly reports.

In this way, devoid of the context they exist in, they can start pushing the self defense and only democracy narratives.
You can tell because it remains their only rhetorical refuge when pressed.

Netanyahu is calling american college students Nazis

‎Netanyahu: No pressure can stop us from defending ourselves‎

‎Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:‎

‎No pressure in an international forum can stop us from defending ourselves even if we have to stand alone.‎

‎What is happening in American universities is reminiscent of what happened in German universities on the eve of the Holocaust in the thirties of the last century.‎

no, what you want to do is get somebody mad enough to give you a red title you're proud of
prediction: the us is gearing up to purge its higher education of dissidents and replace them with fleeing israelis. but theyre still going to be glorified property embezzlement schemes that wind up dispossessing and liquidating incoming zionists anyways

It does also seem like the latest thing is to make the protests an implicitly partisan issue, probably why boogooloo boys have been showing up and Politico ran with the Soros story.

Genocide is a question if you vote red or blue (even though blue is also the one desperately trying to make it happen).

Something I realized very soon after moving to the U.S., is that while my school back home had bullet holes peppered across the external facade, Americans prefer to have the bullet holes inside the schools

I do think that video is not very strong because it has always been very clear that the American public by and large does not care about the lives of children. Shame does not work on them

School shootings are not very funny, and it has no discernible (read: effective) rhetorical purpose, so. Some confusion at the fact it got made is warranted I would think. Perhaps it is meant for non-American English speakers?
I think the people making it may be genuinely overstimating the American moral character, as dire as their perception might already be, is my point. Easy to do from the outside, in my experience

In any case,

Israel is awesome at PR that targets individuals such as lawmakers and media figures, etc. They are terrible at narratives designed for the masses. In a social-media rich environment, while they're committing visible atrocities, this is very bad for them.

giving lawmakers money is not “PR.” elected officials don’t, for the most part, support Israel because they are convinced by Israel’s marketing; they do so because their donors order them to.

there are plenty of Americans who don’t want children to be gunned down in schools. but what they want is irrelevant

As much as it would be richly deserved it's actually of tremendous strategic importance that these protests remain disciplined and don't descend into stochastic violence. Him being there was a deliberate provocation, probably so they could fish for clips of the crowd beating up an Israeli to run over and over again on the nightly news.

For sure self-control. Not so much on the ethics; but, as AnEdgelord said: it's actually of tremendous strategic importance that these protests remain disciplined.
If anyone were to pop off on the protestor’s side, it would immediately make Israel and Zionists the “good guys” in so many loving morons’ smooth brains, and also, the police would immediately open fire on all of the protestors, with the complete backing of the aforementioned smooth brains.

Hence why my triple dog dare still stands!
