The truly damning thing is that Hamas are not even remotely skilled at this. Misinformation and psychological warfare used to be a complex artform, but when you have a vast army of credulous morons thirsty to believe every outrage you fabricate, why bother going to any effort. They 'report' like a uniquely lazy, stupid child lies, vomiting out clearly preposterous and easily disprovable nonsense. Yet the press and (in some cases perfectly well-meaning) idiots online swallow and regurgitate it without blinking.

With everything going on it's a trite thing to be pissed about, but frankly I've always been of the belief that if you're going to do something, good or bad, you should at least do it well. I think it's a sad indictment of the state of the world today that Hamas don't even need to try.

Thank you a million times over thank you for articulating this. I am way to emotional when it comes to this conflict and struggle to find the words, nor do I have the energy to write about it as you are doing so thank you a million times over thank you!
