Because propaganda works everywhere. Teach people that “the other” seeks their destruction and then reframe any violence as tragically necessary self-defense.

The history books don’t mention the Nakba and civilian casualty statistics in Gaza are dismissed as Hamas propaganda.

And I don’t mean to suggest Israel is unique in this. There are many parallels for instance with American “world police” patriotism.

I think recent events have taught this to Israel without any help from propagandists.
