@Miro_Collas@palestine there’s another barrier, Israeli TV is not broadcasting what is going on in Gaza. Many Israeli’s really have no idea what has happened to the degree it has.
@Lassielmr@Miro_Collas@palestine I would imagine there is a mixture of anger at their leadership combined with a hatred of the Palestinians minimizing their ability to resist
They are probably seeing more videos of tortured and defiled Palestinians than videos from the Resistance fighters singlehandedly placing explosives on tanks
Nonetheless, Israel is a modern society, so social media must be as widely used as it is in western Europe. In other words, I expect most get their news there rather than from traditional media.
That said, no doubt the propaganda from MSM over the last 70+ years has been highly effective.
@Miro_Collas@Lassielmr@palestine I think part of the problem with their international image now is that very proclivity for posting you're talking about, starting with them pressing high schoolers into hasbara posting. By the time they interact with us a lot of them have a hard time keeping the serial killer-esque thoughts such as "kill all the Irish for disrespecting us, here are vile fantasies of assault about the family of their leaders" even on their official accounts.
There's a lot of management of the psychopathic bravado going on. They really tried to downplay the damage of the Iran strike recently, and play up getting a few of their own missile-launching drones shot down.
Simply put, their army relies on unnaturally high morale. For some, it's the OSINT nerds convincing them the Iron Dome makes them immortal. For others, it's torture videos of random people they can tell themselves are hamas commandos. If this bravado starts to slip a lot of them have dual citizenship and they can run for the airports. Many of them have done that when things get hairy.
It will take a long time for society there to return to some semblance of rationality, I think pretty much what Gideon Levy says in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPwc9mC-rqc
