Wars, by their very nature, are spaces where passions are released. It's permissible to do everything that is impermissible in times of peace: kill, destroy, rob, loot, abuse, humiliate, become brutal and go wild. Therefore, to purify military actions, the combating parties apply propaganda, the purpose of which is to justify, conceal, and excuse all unnecessary destruction, wanton killing or harsh repression. The same is true in the Gaza war. Here too, Israeli propaganda is busy inventing justifications and excuses for all the acts committed. The global success is quite limited. People aren't buying it and no wonder. However, the Israeli audience is endowed with two qualities greatly assisting the propagandist: a total lack of self-awareness and the absence of even an iota of historical memory.
