    The IDF seems to be taking a stab at humility the last few weeks. What they don’t seem to realize that all their lies can never be forgiven because they admit to a few murders of their own people.

      If a state gets caught knowingly lying about things like this, nobody should ever believe them again with anything. Its insane that anyone still does.

          The USA has a very strong and effective propaganda machine in action. It uses the Illusory truth effect, suppresses dissent and makes it so that you have to look hard to seek out the truth. I would argue that it is perhaps the most effective propaganda machine on the planet. Not really comparable here.
