The Zionist narrative relies on people being ignorant of history. Before Oct 7, my grasp of the history of Israel’s illegal invasion of Palestine was sketchy. Now it’s not. I went and informed myself of history. I’m still learning. This didn’t start on Oct 7. It started in 1948. Actually, it started well before 1948, but 1948 is when the Nakba happened, and the history of the Nakba is harrowing reading. But as a naive American in the 60s, my understanding of history was limited to the Zionist movie “Exodus”. American Zionists were furiously turning the crank on a propaganda mill like few others in history. In the 80s it was easy for Americans to hate Yasser Arafat and the PLO. They were comic book villains. The Zionist narrative was “These Palestinian villains suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and with no provocation on our part they just started killing us peace-loving innocent Jews”. The reality is that Israel created Hamas and the PLO. Hamas, and the PLO before it, were, and continue to be, useful idiots. Hamas is going to be annihilated by the IDF. The IDF are going to exterminate as many Palestinian civilians as they can. It’s textbook genocide. People who support Israel are evil.
