Israel has a long way to go, however, as the research found Europeans in particular “agree with the language of Israel being a genocidal, apartheid country even though it contradicts their opposition to Hamas and Iran.”
Israel’s best tactic to combat this, according to the study, is to foment fear of “Radical Islam” and “Jihadism,” which remain high, the research finds. By highlighting Israeli support for women’s rights and gay rights while elevating concerns that Hamas wants to “destroy all Jews and spread Jihadism,” Israeli support rebounded by an average of over 20 points in each country. “Especially once the situation in Gaza is resolved, the room for growth in all countries is very significant,” the report concludes.
No - actually, Israel’s best tactic to combat it is to just stop committing genocide and instituting apartheid.
See - this is a fine example of why I say, completely sincerely, that Israel is a nation of psychopaths. Fundamentally, what this report says is, “An increasing number of people worldwide are condemning us for doing the notoriously reprehensible things we are in fact doing, so our course of action should be… to lie harder.”
That’s not a rational position - it’s a psychopathic one.
once the situation in Gaza is resolved
How is that situation being resolved?
HOW IS IT BEING RESOLVED, MOTHERFUCKERS?The sad takeaway is that this is going to shape Israel’s propaganda efforts rather than their political stance and military involvement.
