The problem is that a lot of the stuff is flat-out wrong. The PLO had a huge PR campaign accompanying the 2000 war, putting out fake maps, fake histories, promoting fake academic experts, and making glossy news websites to push out their party line. They also had the MSM willing to publish anything the PLO gave them while they sat in their hotels and pretended to be foreign news bureaus. Israel had a few hobbyist websites backing it up. It resulted in a situation like Gamergate where all of the media is saying the same thing while all of the evidence is pointing in different direction.

The flip in the information war started in the '70s when the Soviet Union endorsed the PLO and the New York Times followed the Russian party line. Books and news articles from before then tell a completely different story.

Oh, poor Israel. Maybe we should give them $38 billion more in American taxpayer money

Fuck Israel. They always play the victim while stomping on us Americans and perpetrating apartheid against Palestinians. They got us into all these wars in the Middle East, wasting trillions of taxpayer money and killing thousands of American young men and women. All the while our roads are falling apart and we can't pay our teachers a decent wage.

They're the boy who cried wolf and we aren't buying it any more. They own Hollywood and the media. Through AIPAC they control congress and the presidency, so by extension they also control the courts.

Frankly it's nice to hear kids are getting some info that runs contrary to the bullshit Israel the eternal victim narrative. Israel certainly deserves worse.

Israel is bad from an IT stand point as well. Not only are they contributing to hackers in the form of exploits and so forth, they are the home of Cellebrite, a "security" company known for hacking cell phones.

They work with Law Enforcement, and break / find ways around locked phones. They keep their methods secret by forcing the phone to be mailed to them, where they do some hacking and send it back unlocked. Since their methods aren't known, nor will they expose them, the evidence shouldn't hold up in a court of law. But because they also claim "trade secrets", LE's continue to use them.

The problem is the schools lying to our kids. And since you have been hiding under a rock for the past 20 years, Hollywood and the media follow the same pro-Communist, pro-Muslim, anti-Israel party line. Pro-Israel people quickly lose their jobs and get blacklisted. The SJWs went after them first in the early 2000s before anyone else noticed what was going on.

Some stories have no heroes, just different types of assholes.
