going to buy the 'Israel is always right, Palestinians are all terrorists including the children' routine that the US has backed for so long.

But I wish I could believe that anything is going to change. What generally happens is when Israel sees they are losing the propaganda war, they withdraw. The media moves on, the US continues to fund them, Palestine remains an outdoor prison and with fewer citizens and many, many more wounded and homeless, worsening an alerady bad situation.

In two or more years, it will all happen again. Unless THIS TIME someone OTHER than the US who are complicit in all of it, intervenes.

Boycotts eg, work. Hopefully though OUR MEDIA will quickly move on, the rest of the world won't forget this latest inhumane assault on an entire people.
