Yep, it's all about justifying genocide. To convince people that Hamas is out to destroy jews like an anti-semetic zombie horde and the only way to stop them is to turn Gaza to rubble. Get people to turn their empathy off when the images of children being dug out of rubble never stops. All genocide is framed as an act of self-defense.
There is no evidence any of most lurid and shocking account of crimes occured, and there is no evidence they were under orders to do the horrible shit they've been accused of. Have mass shooting become so commonplace that it's not shocking enough if all they did was shoot people?
The west has been waging war 365 days a year for our entire lives, they have to promote the fairy tale that our "smart" weapons minimize suffering and our troops don't do war crimes, and it's only our enemies who are uniquely evil.
It's sickening how easy it is for people to be manipulated by this shit.
