I've sadly been so brainwashed by the media I often wonder how can people alter their actions or words so they're not misconstrued, but eventually realized people will construe the words any way they want because they've already made up their minds. I've wondered before about if perhaps Hamas had glided down or escaped Gaza and just started peacefully protesting to an end to the blockade back on October 7th if perhaps it would've worked (I know, I know, liberal brainworms), and then I realize that Palestinians DID protest peacefully in the past and all they got was being shot to death or being maimed and the Israeli public genuinely could not have cared less and the international community at large wouldn't even have shifted uncomfortably because only Hamas members would've been murdered that day; genuinely nothing would have changed at all because it's not in Israeli society's interest to ever live peacefully with the people whose lands they want and whom they consider to be nothing but savages/local fauna.

The people who want to believe the worst are demonstrating today that despite inarguable evidence of there being a genocide that actually the 'so called evidence' is questionable; never mind that Israel is literally calling the UN Hamas, or that every human rights organization operating in Gaza are saying Israeli snipers are shooting children in the head, never mind that they blocked food, water, medicine and electricity going into Gaza and are slashing how much aid goes in, never mind that Gaza has almost been completely razed to the ground, never mind that many Israeli politicians are openly spewing genocidal rhetoric, never mind that even now they're displacing and murdering Gazans while openly talking of settling Gaza, never mind that the knesset literally had a debate about whetherremoved of detainees should be legal, never mind that most detainees are held without trial or charges, never mind that Israeli society stood up to defend theremoveds and made a folk hero out of one of them, etc etc; all this and they're still arguing that no genocide is taking place. Obviously not everyone, but most people who are like this will never change their stance unless the government and/or media tells them they should.
