I'm a Jew with family in Israel. Hamas needs to go, and they have forced Israel's hand here. I strongly support the Israeli response.

Now that its clear where I am coming from...can I just say that Israels social media BLOWS DONKEY DICK?! It is petty, arrogant, classless and just plain dumb! They post stupid, argumentative shit like this way too often: https://www.instagram.com/p/CzoLDf-o7f8/

It's just pathetic. Israel is a NATION STATE, not a fucking meme lord. And frankly their memes fucking suck anyway. They need to have some self respect and act like a tzadik in their messaging. It's like WTF dude? How hard is it to keep a professional tone befitting a nation? How can they not understand how horrible they look when they do this shit? They are convincing NO ONE with this kind of messaging. All it does is rally the low-intellect portion of the base, and further incite vitriol from the other side. I'm just tired of seeing the Busch league shit that they are putting out. While Israel is certainly not totally innocent, I do think they have the moral high ground in this. So fucking act like it. /rant

Edit: I just want to share something in contrast to what I'm ranting about. Because it's not all bad. Take this video from LTC Jonathan Conricus on the IDF youtube channel. This guy resonates among the best that I've seen from official Israeli channels on the war messaging. While I do think it would be of benefit to him and the general outside perception of Israel to work to come across as even a bit more patient when demonstrating whats actually going on for the naysayers of the world , for example at this point where he basically shrugs of the inevitable accusations that the IDF planted this stuff by saying something to the effect of saying "now don't you dare say we planted this!", i'll allow that he does mostly come across as a mature, sober voice that is much needed. I know that a lot of the "Israel BAD!" people will never change their minds, but you can't stop trying. You have to try to meet these people where they are. You won't win over everyone, but you will cast doubt in the minds of the ones who are at least willing to listen. It's not even like Israel needs to change what they are doing at all. Keep up the offensive. All I'm saying is, shit guys, just read the room before you put out your messaging. It will only help us. So please, Israel...more sober, mature voices, and less cringe meme attempts.
