That's no worse than someone being paid to defend a country by joining the military.

I am not being paid by anyone btw. My opinions are strictly my own.

There should be some kind of disclosure though.

Doesn't the spread of propaganda by paid shills diminish a nation's ability to be respected or taken seriously? Everyone knows about the JIDF at this point, but corporations have marketing shills as well. Every global superpower likely does too. Every single post on Reddit critical of Israel get downvoted into oblivion, usually with the same number of votes. The same thing happened when people were talking about Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

A necessary evil when European tabloids lobby for Hamas. They even go as far as post pictures from Syria and claim that it's from Gaza.

They see it as national security.

*shrugs*

Why not work to diminish conflict as much as possible?

With opponents like Hamas and Hezbollah, it is surprising the Israelis even need propaganda.

Still on top of your game as far as rebuttals I see.

With images filtering through from Gaza of Palestinian toddlers with their heads and limbs missing, the IDF does Hamas's best propaganda work for them.

I've spent two years working with Muslims. They believe that Allah allows them to cut throats and rip people off. They really think they are special and priviged whenever they get one over on us. I went to arab networks, and gawd they get all the free services and handouts in the US.

I read the Koran and all that too. I really got sucked into the life for a while. Now I want them all to perish. Isn't that sad?

Hey did you see that movie about the apes? Rise and Dawn of the planet of the apes? It's like that, all messed up.

Anyways, I hope you people all blow each other up, i don't care anymore. I saw it all from backwards and forwards, rewind and all that and basically like Freud said, "People are s**t".

Bring in the aliens.

Nice generalisation. Are you qualifying that with your personal experience and extrapolating that to one billion people?

Using the same logic I could (falsely) argue that all Jews are hook nosed, hand wringing money lenders hellbent on world domination.

I wish WP had its own troll forum.
A safe place where the trolls can joust each other.
And a feature whereby anybody can vote for the best baits and rebuttals.
Not that it would a good thing, I'd just like to see who the best is. :D

If you'd been here (PPR) in 2011-12 you probably would have found the mud-slinging rather amusing.
