r/BadHasbara

Ben Gvir is not a fringe politician, he's the face of Israel and its treatment of Palestinians.

"Jennifer" texted me yesterday asking for my opinions on the US and Israel.

Proceeds to ignore my opinions, tell me how much she disagrees with me, and push links to pro-Israel propaganda.

A really funny thing from her video shows that almost every single person on that boat is from another country, from the United States, Argentina ,they’re from everywhere except for the actual land of Palestine itself. It really is telling when the samud flotilla are trying to reach Gaza in order to give the people of Gaza much needed aid and supplies, and then these Hasbara propagandists go out of their way to mock them.

And here's what they're relying on: that "penetration" is impossible and/or didn't happen and some very incorrect beliefs about what you can or can't train a dog to do.

IT IS STILL SEXUAL ASSAULT. I said this somewhere else, but even if a guard dog randomly started humping a Palestinian hostages leg, it would be assault because of the power imbalance between the hostage and the concentration camp guards allowing it to happen.

These are the same people who want us to believe a regurgitated report filled with debunked testimony and manipulated language that guides the reader to make conclusions that are not described or backed up by investigation. And you know what? Even with all that there are stories from Israeli captives that describe what had to be very scary and violating experiences, such as having to shower or go to the bathroom while being watched.I'm not saying I'm some morally impeccable person, but my moral compass doesn't allow me to dismiss that just because I support Palestinian liberation. I'm not going to redefine sexual assault because I'm on a "side".

It is EXTREMELY disturbing to have a mass campaign of people trying to do that. I hope they are drowned out. It's all so disgusting I can barely believe I'm typing all this.
