They knew it so much so that they even had school children singing a song all about erasing Gaza, and it was huge across the media.

The general Israeli public can also access the social media themselves. However, they prefer to watch it and still be okay with the Genocide. 98% are in favor. Over 60% think it’s not enough! And 98% want to keep their comfortable Apartheid. So let’s stop this nonsense about their being kept ignorant!

Their are no excuses for these people. None. Everyone is connected to the outside world. They just CHOOSE to believe what they want. Even when they are shown the horrific images, they are laughing and fully supportive

[Kubkevo]

I am pretty sure that they knew the nature of all of this. They supported it and purposefully seeked for brutal revenge. I saw few journalist say what he said but not a single israeli civilian suprized by the genocide or brutal attacks. Furthermore almost every israeli wished that the conditions should be even worse...

Germany used the ignorance of the people trope.

For those believing in land promised to God’s people:

This is from Dr Naomi Wolf

Dated July 25, 2014

Okay, so I was challenged below. “Read the Bible! God gave the land of Israel to the Jewish people.” So… I may get crucified for this but I have started to say it —most recently (terrified, trembling) to warm welcome in a synagogue in LA: Actually if you could read Genesis Exodus and Deuteronomy in Hebrew — as I do — you will see that God did not “give” Israel to the Jews/Israelites. We as Jews are raised with the creed that “God gave us the land of Israel” in Genesis — and that ethnically “we are the chosen people.” But actually — and I could not believe my eyes when I saw this, I checked my reading with major scholars and they confirmed it — actually God’s “covenant” in Genesis Exodus and Deuteronomy with the Jewish people is NOT ABOUT AN ETHNICITY AND NOT ABOUT A CONTRACT. IT IS ABOUT A WAY OF BEHAVING.

Again and again in the “covenant” language He never says “I will give you, ethnic Israelites, the land of Israel.” Rather He says something far more radical — far more subversive — far more Godlike in my view. He says: IF you visit those imprisoned…act mercifully to the widow and the orphan… welcome the stranger in your midst…tend the sick…do justice and love mercy…and perform various other tasks…THEN YOU WILL BE MY PEOPLE AND THIS LAND WILL BE YOUR LAND. So “my people” is not ethnic — it is transactional. We are God’s people not by birth but by a way of behaving, that is ethical, kind and just. And we stop being “God’s people“ when we are not ethical, kind and just. And ANYONE who is ethical, kind and just is, according to God in Genesis, “God’s people.” And the “contract” to “give” us Israel is conditional — we can live in God’s land if we are “God’s people” in this way — just, merciful and compassionate. AND — it never ever says, it is ONLY your land. Even when all passages spell out geographical “boundaries” as if God does such a thing, it never says this is exclusively your land. It never says I will give this land JUST to you. Remember these were homeless nomads who had left slavery in Egypt and were wandering around in the desert; at most these passages say, settle here, but they do not say, settle here exclusively. Indeed again and again it talks about welcoming “zarim” — translated as “strangers” but can also be translated as “people/tribes who are not you” — in your midst. Blew my mind, hope it blows yours.

why have we not heard anything about BIG BROTHER for the last 35 years? where did he go? is he here or over there? if he's here why don't we see him? exactly who is/was he & what is the purpose of his existence anyway?

[destroyer]

Even if they are showed horrific situation, they will react the same way. We saw that they were protesting for right to r3p. No matter how sick something you show to a sick person, they aren't gonna show anything that's human.
