The first casualty of war is the truth, and the first weapon used is projection.

Ultimately the conflict is two sides using similar information tactics to achieve sympathy for their ethnostate in what was Mandatory Palestine.

Are you saying the Palestinians also want an "ethnostate"?

Frequently. But sometimes reality also simply has an anti-US interest bias. US lawmakers bitch about TikTok being pro-Palestine - the reality is the global narrative DEFAULT CONSENSUS _should_ be pro-Palestine / anti Israel / anti-Zionism / or anti-semitic for the simple mathematic reality that there is a fuckload more Muslims than jews, and a fuckload of other cohorts including in the west that are anti-Israel for variety of reasons.

It takes extraordinary level information shaping, like that done by Meta and US platforms to censor what should be obviously unfiltered / plurality / default global opinion. For pro-Palestine narratives to take over, all TikTok had to do was nothing, vs Meta+US platforms has to coordinate global censorship / media filtering campaign. Cue US think tanks writing retarded reports that muh PRC is spreading pro-Palestinian propaganda when they're just not actively supressing it like US platforms are. Same with linked report, "funding" pro-Palestinian activism - a billionaire American maoist / activists using his resources to operate out of PRC where he is based (why is he based there?), as if PRC need US private money for propaganda.

Of course the real downstream question is whether "information filtering" is good for American voters and American interest. Truth is a casualty of war blah blah but ostensibly US is not at war. Except US has been at some sort of war for most of last 100 years and Americans seem pretty tired of it.

global narrative DEFAULT CONSENSUS is exactly as you describe. But the information news sources you are looking at are not Muslim so why would they fall into that mathematical reality?

Glad to see that China is on the right side of history.
