    Israel could save a boatload on their military and PR budgets if they, you know, stopped killing children and innoncent Palestinians, Lebanese and destroying infrastructure necessary for sustaining life.

    730M and they still can’t even convince their own MPs to not openly use genocidal rhetoric, forget using the money to stop committing genocide they can’t even use the money to stop openly admitting they’re committing genocide

    What do you mean? How would that not work? We commit genocide and we then make a few cute commercials saying how brave and awesome we are and call it a day! Of course people won’t notice, of course people won’t get stuck in stupid details like thousands of dead children, er have happy positive commercials

      A “few cute commercials”? Mate it’s 2026, this means they are hiring a literal army of commenters to flood spaces like this with Israeli talking points.

      If you spend time online defending Palestinian liberation then you have almost certainly interacted with a paid Hasbara agent. Hope you had fun doing that, because it’s going to happen even more often now.

        Is the world even doing anything significant to oppose Israel? None of the states and governments that matter here are cutting back against Israel (US and EU, where Israel draws most of its funding and arms sales from).

          I guess, most of that 730 million is part of bribes that these government officials political influencers are being paid.

      Yeah the PR budget quantupled by adding $500m, but unfortunately the defence budget increased by 10% ($60B)
