I'll be happy to disagree with you my friend, that's what makes life interesting after all.
This is much bigger. Iran is the driving force behind this in my imagination (the Palestinians are easy cannon fodder). Iran and Russia need each other. China is the laughing party in the back. Similarly, North Korea is likely delivering weapons to Russia and South Korea is probably shipping arms to the US, which is shipping weapons to Ukraine (Just not the exact ones SK gave). Then I read this week that Wagner is fighting Ukranian special forces in Sudan. So we have 3 proxy wars going on.
In these wars the supporting parties are either of the BRICS or NATO persuasion. Although Turkey seems to be a bit in the middle here. As may other countries be, but never in history is anything truly straight forward.
But this is the start of WWIII. Tensions are ramping up and sides are being chosen. I truly hope I am wrong and I hope even more nobody touches the nukes. Please laugh at this in 10 years if I am wrong.

Hamas murdered babies. They raped and murdered women. They slaughtered grandmothers and posted the murders to social media.
Hamas must be destroyed, along with their terrorist masters in Tehran.
There is no moral equivalence here. America stands with Israel.
Dead babies is always an effective war propaganda tool. It’s in big use today, as the claim is that all of the babies had their heads cut off in one kibbutz. Is it true? We may never know.
As they tell the story on Fox, it gets worse with every telling. Just now, it was 40 beheaded babies. The women on Outnumbered are losing it. It doesn’t look like they have a male on today.
At least 40 babies, some beheaded, found by Israel soldiers in Hamas-attacked village
Israel’s military has discovered unspeakable horrors in an Israeli community that was attacked by Hamas on Saturday, including dozens of dead babies, some with of their heads chopped off, Israeli media reported.
According to local Israeli outlet i24News, Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers moved into Kfar Aza, the one of the communities Hamas terrorists invaded early Saturday morning, and discovered about 40 dead babies, some decapitated — highlighting the brutality of the invading forces.
In World War One, stories of the Hun nailing babies to the doors of churches were used to gin up outrage, silence critics, and boost recruitment numbers.
The stories turned out to be completely bogus.

Today, we are witnessing the creation of atrocity propaganda in real-time.
What is atrocity propaganda, and how has it been used to win support for war? A thread:
![]()
2/12: An atrocity tale is designed to shock a mass audience by showing a violation of a fundamental cultural value which authorises force to stop the perpetrator.
They are directed at groups rather than individuals. The ultimate goal is to dehumanise an enemy.
![]()
3/12: One of the earliest examples of atrocity propaganda was during the Irish rebellion of 1641.
Reports were sent to England of massacres of the innocent by the rebels, and there were later used to justify Cromwell's slaughter of captured Irish rebels.
![]()
![]()
4/12: The most graphic accounts were published in the English press. Newspapers fabricated graphic accounts of babies being ripped from pregnant women.
These reports especially incited the English public against the Irish.

5/12 Atrocity propaganda in 1641 vs. 2023
![]()
![]()
6/12: With the spread of communications technology in the 20th Century, atrocity propaganda became more important for garnering support for war. Some of the worst examples came in WW1.
British propaganda, backed by the press, portrayed the Germans as barbaric aggressors
![]()
7/12: British media reported stories of the Germans bayoneting Belgian babies and cutting off their hands.
Reports came from Belgium of giant German "corpse factories", where dead bodies were harvested to be turned into candles, lubricants, and boot wax.

8/12: One of the worst examples of atrocity propaganda is the so-called Nayirah testimony.
In the run up to the Gulf War, A 15 year-old Kuwaiti girl gave testimony to US Congress about the horrors of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, most notably babies being pulled from incubators.
![]()
![]()
9/12: Nayirah’s testimony was rebroadcast across the country and marked a turning point in public opinion on going to war with Iraq.
President Bush repeatedly cited her claims to justify the necessity of the war.
![]()
10/12: It turned out Nayirah was the daughter of Kuwait's ambassador to the US.
Her testimony was organised as part of a 'Citizens for a Free Kuwait' public relations campaign.
This was itself was a front-group, created by an American PR firm hired by the Kuwaiti government.

11/12: You may notice a trend with these atrocity tales: children as the subject of violence.
This makes sense. Regardless of the intricacies of a conflict, if one side is slaughtering children, they are obviously irredeemably evil. Who could defend baby killers?
![]()
12/12: Today, we may be seeing the creation of atrocity propaganda in real time, this time through the medium of social media.
History should remind us to not be guided by emotion, and treat all claims which direct us toward demands for war with a good degree of skepticism.

Pipe down fascist.
We have to keep the world safe for democracy.
Those boys must be saved, in order for them to be turned into girls.
I stand with Israel and I wish the best for all the non-involved in Gaza. I have some friends in Israel and I have some Jewish friends. I don't really think we need to help them with money and weapons, I'm quite sure they have enough. But I think some sympathy would be appropriate. Similarly I would offer sympathy to the innocents in Gaza who do not have a good time ahead of them.
I've seen pictures. After killing a couple hundred people at a festival, would you really have major doubts here?

...
Of all the lies, manipulation suddenly, the media should be believed as a badge of Truth? after all the lies they said about the two Iraqi wars and the Libyan intervention?
Do we not remember the lies they said about the Ukrainian conflict as well?
Suddenly we should believe the media on the Israeli/Hamas conflict?
One of the reasons I researched the festival was to try to find the truth amongst the propaganda. The first lie was that it was a festival for peace in support of Gaza. Blatant lie. It was a hippie trance festival. Ecstasy, sex and drugs.
