They've been doing that since '48, to be honest - it was only in the Year Of Our Lord 2025 that the truth about Israel managed to dodge western mainstream media selectivity en-masse for the first time.

Better decades late than never, I guess.

Seriously! I remember living in the States finding weird social attitudes like people being unable to criticize Israel without being labeled antisemitic. Or the seemingly random hatred for communism even though the Cold War was not present in people's minds regardless of whether they knew what it was, or being called gay for the stupidest things. What a baffling culture it was sometimes.

Here in South Africa you were insta-banned off news-site commenting forums for comparing Zionists to Nazis a bare fifteen years ago. I don't think people realise just how much liberal "consent manufacturing" came tumbling down all over the world after Oct 7th.
