An apt comparison to 9/11
What? In that they deserved it?
This actually is an apt comparison to 9/11 because in both cases the target countries unambigously deserved it.
At some point some propaganda came out that this was “a festival for peace”. Looks like CNN reported it but later retracted it. Damage already done as it got parroted by other media
You can just make up stuff, say it’s from an “anonymous source”, then retract it and maintain your credibility by blaming it on the source you made up.
It’s really wild how hard the media is trying to emotionally anchor this for Americans. They reference 9/11 AND Pearl Harbor in that list.
I have no way of really knowing, but I strongly suspect that Average-America’s regard for Israel is far more negative or at least neutral than it might have been a decade ago, and the way the media is going so hard in framing the narrative feels like they know it.
20+ years ago I was an Evangelical Christian. That group is rabidly pro-Israel now but at least before 9/11… well I would say they were exactly anti-Israel but the support was much, much more subdued.
