The biggest punchline of all of this is that our tax dollars are paying for this propaganda. Not in my name.

consistent one-sided reporting

Remember the statements the IDF and Israeli media put out when the Al-Ahli hospital was bombed? first they said it was a Hamas rocket, and after that was debunked they say that the hospital was a Hamas base/bunker, without providing any evidence.

Sure sounds like propaganda, conspiracy theories and one-sided reporting to me.

looks like Israel's following Russia's footsteps, and USA probably won't bat an eye.

USA sends on average 3.8 billion a year in aid to Israel. Israel also has a lobbying system in the US to skew public opinion in favor of Israel (the most prominent groups are CUFI and AIPAC), where in certain divisions, Mossad bots spew Israeli propaganda on fake accounts (much like the Kremlin bots).

The government always touts Israel as "our best ally". Not to mention that USA always has unequivocal support to Israel, even if they might criticise them for a couple things. Funny how they support the oppressed while also supporting the aggressor.

If you take a look at Israeli and Russian media, you'll find out that they pretty use the same methods of propaganda (and sure some things are different, but the general census is the same).

Dehumanizing the enemy, and lumping all of its people together, meanwhile trying to justify their actions with the victim approach. "oh please help i'm getting attacked, i have done nothing wrong, those guys over there are terrorists/nazis, we're only liberating it from the horrible terrorists/nazis who keep bombing this place! we're doing this for peace!"

Also, why do you think the "terrorists" are doing this? Surely it wouldn't be because of the illegal occupation of Palestine that Israel has been doing since 1948, with the Nakba (where various militant groups such as Irgun and Lehi did a massacre on Palestinian people, the looting of Palestinian homes, and evasion tactics such as planting trees to hide the fact that this was once Palestinian land being a huge part of it). IDF also play a major role in the occupation, as they very much want their presence known.

IDF raid houses for the purpose of taking picture of all the family members in the house to use as data for BlueWolf (which is basically a profile of Palestinians so that Israel's surveillance cameras can easily recognize their faces). They can also do a "house search" where they knock everything over and then come up empty-handed because they don't know what they're searching for. They can also use the house that they just raided as a sort of military base.

Their most recent crime is the killing of a journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh. They then lied through their teeth while Israeli bots posted misinformation say that "the terrorists fired on her", which was quickly debunked. They call that a "PR blitz". Also, for them, bombing hospitals (such as the al-Shifa hospital), schools, media towers (Al-Jalaa building being one example), apartment buildings (such as Hamadi tower), and if that isn't enough, the al-Shati refugee camp is known as "mowing the lawn".

So of course the Palestinians have every right to fight back, just like the Ukrainians do. I don't agree with every method (just as i don't agree with every method the Ukrainians use),. That being said, they are being occupied by a country who's raiding and demolishing homes, doing random assassinations, and to top it all off, throwing tear gas into mosques and hospitals because that's what the most moral army in the world does. No surprise that they fight back. They aren't just going to surrender their land to the occupiers.

Yet you guys freak out when this argument is used on Ukraine. Both are bullshit arguments btw.
