I have been keeping track of Hamas “doing this.” So let’s do a side by side comparison of Israelis and Hamas videos. Heres a video shared by pro-Israel accounts with the caption “Hamas shoots at civilians for getting near aid trucks.”
Kinda just looks like there are armed guards on top of the aid trucks and the live fire seems to be added in post along with a soundtrack. Now here's a video of Israelis.
Hamas video. Again, the narrative is set by the caption. Hamas is supposed to have “hijacked” the truck but we never actually see them do that in the videos. Just them riding trucks.
Compare that to this video. Not even gonna share the caption because what’s happening is apparent from the video alone.
Meanwhile the entire premise of “Hamas hijacks aid” is mystifying. Aren’t they the gov? Isn’t their job to both protect the aid and distribute it in an orderly fashion? How do we know who is Hamas and who is PA and who is some gang who steals aid? The videos tell us nothing.
All the Hasbarists have are *video of arab guys w guns on top of truck* w the caption "UNBELIEVABLE! HAMAS STEALS FOOD AID & BURNS IT OFF CAMERA WHILE LAUGHING" while every video from Israel is a 4k confession from a settler saying "I love when Palestinians starve. I love crime."

I think people would be less confused about what Zionism actually is if we just started calling it Ziontology.
-They use their vast resources to shut down dissent.
-They use their celebrity connections to do their propaganda.
-If you speak out against them they will smear you and try to get you fired.
-If you were born into it, and decide to criticize it your family will cut off contact with you.
-They will blackmail you if you’re a closeted gay person.

Who knew being financially fucked was so relatable. Please help me save for retirement by joining my Patreon.com/frotcast and listening to @PodYourselfAGun, a sopranos podcast where I do parody songs. Here’s one if you like Taylor Swift/Bon Iver.
MASSIVE DAD UPDATE: my dad - a life long libertarian - has converted to being a "social democrat or democratic socialist or whatever you wanna call it."
Given the recent ousting of Zahra Billoo from the board of the Women's March because of her criticism of Israel, I'd like to present a VERY simple guide:
"How To Criticize Israel Without Right Wingers Accusing You Of Antisemitism"

DON’T mention the Palestinians or the occupation:
-Talk about other problems in Israel, like how there's a lot of stray cats or how bad traffic is.
-If you must allign yourself with the Palestinian cause, only support non-violent Palestinian movements.
