Yes, never again is right now and I am afraid to even say that under my real name because it would put my job at risk.

Watching a redux of the Warsaw Ghetto being livestreamed, watching children starving to death because of state military decisions, watching 500 pounder bombs being dropped on seaside cafes and ambulance medics being murdered. Never again is right now and I'm doing this, bitching pseudonymously. It is truly dystopian as you say.

Further, state influence campaigns using social media are well known, it is absolutely happening on this forum and all forums as you say. What to do? I have no idea but I know that those who suffer the consequences of speaking out against this, such as the tens of people arrested in the UK, are truly brave.

Never again is right now. One day everyone will have been against this.

That’s the part that sickens me, if anyone says anything about the genocide, your livelihood is at risk.

It’s disgusting, and it works to prevent people from saying anything publicly.

And there's some reason to believe there isn't a state influence campaign in favor of Hamas?

That would be easy to disprove, just let international journalists enter the area and film whatever is happening there. Israel won't let them.

Nobody wants to fund it.

Fervent supporters of Israel believe all sorts of nonsense about support for Hamas in the west. It functions as a kind of whataboutism.

Nobody? It's in Iran's interest.

Iranian propaganda cant even convince the west that it was adhering to the IAEA deal.

The Islamophobic contingent of American society loves a good conspiracy theory about muslims controlling the media though.

Who said anything about controlling it?

And I'm not referring to Muslims in general, but the government of Iran. They're not trying to convince the world they're good guys. They're trying to convince the world that their puppets are on the side of good. Never mind the horror show that results wherever their puppets get control.
