    Blinken blamed social media in general when asked by Romney why Israel was losing the global PR war.

    Right, social media is at fault. It’s definitely not the fact that Israel is commiting genocide and other war crimes.

      He’s right, in a way.

      If it weren’t for massive social media outlets like TikTok no one would know or care about the genocide. Israel has always been this way! Israel’s plan for the Palestinians has pretty much always been genocide, nothing changed on their end. The only thing that changed is the existence of platforms that aren’t under the control of pro-Israel propaganda, so now people are finally seeing the truth. Times have changed.

      If it weren’t for the access to the truth I don’t think Americans would be opposing this genocide, and that’s the way the ruling class wants it.
