It's fucking wild that people are just paid to shit post and troll in the defense of murder. I really dislike all of this. This whole time and place we're living in. If it's not the Correct the Record then it's the Russians. If it's not the Russians then it's the Hasbara. If it's not them, then maybe China, or a bot or an AI. The world's going nuts from social media and the rich trying to set everyone's brain on fire, and then there's this shit. How much more synthetic does the world need to be? How can these forces not understand they are engaging in evil shit, just for the sake of it!

"The diplomatic mechanism relies on the hasbara mechanism," he said. "Success in the war is reliant on this component. There's no alternative to the civilian abilities here and on social media. It's one of the most critical fronts right now."

Gitam Media Group CEO Ido Har-Tov told the meeting that his company had set up a 200-person situation room that was focused on creating hasbara content.
"We've begun to create between 40 and 50 videos a day," he said. "We have tens of millions of views. We can be the country's most significant tool in hasbara."

"Our goal is to explain to people how they can do [hasbara] themselves and explain how they help us become viral," she said. "The country, with all its complexity, doesn't have the tools to manage this fight. It needs to be done on the civilian level."

Buckle up baby, it's everyone's turn to drink from the fire hose.

"Good" article, thanks for posting.

 

Palestinian health officials say Israeli warplanes struck a refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, killing at least 40 people and wounding dozens. Sunday's strike came as Israel vowed to press on with its offensive to crush the territory’s Hamas rulers, despite U.S. appeals for a pause in fighting to get aid to civilians.

Arafat Abu Mashaia, who lives in the camp, said the Israeli airstrike flattened several multi-story homes where people forced out of other parts of Gaza were sheltering.

“It was a true massacre,” he said early Sunday while standing on the wreckage of destroyed homes. “All here are peaceful people. I challenge anyone who says there were resistance (fighters) here.”

I really hope this is no way a reprisal for this Irish man talking openly about the loss of his family and his two children (1 and 4) who are still trapped in Gaza

You think Israel has been planning this genocide for that long? Interesting take that I'd yet to hear.

Your right, Israel should cease it's indiscriminate violence now and call for an immediate stabilization of the civilian population on the ground. That was a big leap for you man. Proud of you Dobby!

 

“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.

“These protection jackets and helmets don't protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. ... We lose our lives for no reason.”

 

Palestinian health authorities in Hamas-controlled Gaza said Israel struck a convoy of ambulances on Friday that was to leave al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City and head to the south of the enclave to evacuate injured people.

 

Some people, communicating via satellite phones, have described the attack as the “heaviest bombardment yet,” according to independent journalist Sharif Kouddous.

“People can’t call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner,” said an unidentified journalist at a Gaza hospital, according to a translation by The Nation’s Palestinian correspondent, Mohammed El-Kurd. “The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows what’s going on.”
