Yes, propaganda works, unfortunately. The journalists who are endowed with a sponge where you might expect to find a brain can’t even defend themselves against propagating the poison as a mere side-effect of breathing. This is where the power of Hamas, Hez & Co and their cohort of apologists comes from.
What can we do? We can teach critical thinking to our children. They just love it. Why deprive them? As far as this goes, I expect the soldiers to be among the best parents. They have faced the problem, and some have paid with their life for it.
There is something noteworthy this time around: Egypt and Saudi Arabia, while spewing the ritualistic and predictable insults, are quietly hoping that Israel will help them get rid of Iran’s ideological tentacles.
We should keep in mind that Persia was transformed into a Muslim nation. It was originally based on something else, whatever is left of it. Can ideological torpedoes execute a U-turn maneuver after a millenium?
