I always thought the IDF was supposed to be super skilled and tactical. I expected surgical strikes to take out terrorists and minimize civilian casualties. They had a reputation for strength.

Turns out they're either incompetent or they're genocidal or both. Hint: both.

Unfortunately, for those in the know, the IDF's callous and sadistic operations in Palestine have been known for some time. They had a good PR arm making themselves out to be super careful in the occupied territories, but it was always at odds with their actions.

If their good pr looks like that, I can’t imagine the bad pr arm

Well, the good PR arm is pre-October 7, back when they were 'just' doming American citizens and tying Palestinian children to their vehicles as human shields. Right now I'm pretty sure their entire PR team is either on vacation celebrating that their job is over now that Israel is going mask off, or have chosen to eat a bullet over seeing their work whitewashing all these atrocities pissed away by Netanyahu.

Just needed to be good enough to convince a significant portion of the American electorate to back them to the hilt.
