““Why has the PR been so awful?… typically the Israelis are good at PR—what’s happened here, how have they and we been so ineffective at communicating the realities and our POV?… some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok.””

  1. From the beginning I thought tik tok was a brainwashing tool the government was using to control us.
    Seems like they didn't care when yt nationalists were speaking out against Jewish ppl but you're up in arms over everyday ppl stand up against that nstions genocide

  2. Freedom of speech. The sellout politicians want to please their corporate and special interest donors. Additionally, nobody should join the military until it's no longer a tool of Israel. Israel duped Americans into invading Iraq and they attempted the same with Iran… but that didn't go as planned.

  3. I mean, look at how the US Government led by then President Bush lied to America and the world all so they could invade Iraq. That was just a few years before social media really took off and before they started to lose control of the narrative. I bet if we didnt have social media, then the government probably wouldve already sent or try to send American troops to Israel, Ukraine, and. Taiwan. But they cant lie as effectively today as they could 21 years ago, so they have to settle for sending money and weapons

  4. As to why Congress decided to ban TikTok I wonder if this may be a possibility. Congress has stated repeatedly about how TikTok has captured the young audience and politicians have established accounts on TikTok to interact with people in those age groups. Yet, try as they may these same politicians seem unable to establish any ground on TikTok. Is there any possibility that they may be trying to shut down TikTok or force it's sale to a US company in an effort to find a way to engage and communicate with people in these age groups in a new environment.

  5. Romney and Blinken play this dumb game of trying to confuse the world. We all know that wars and conflicts are good business for the Industrial Military Complex. Blinken in his own words said that the money we are giving to Ukraine will end up in the pockets of companies that build weapons.

  6. I agree with most of this, but you can’t have a government that reacts emotionally to a 20 or 30 second clip.. Most people reacting emotionally to social media clips would make terrible leaders..

  7. You can only have good 👍 P.R. for a holly war , if it's actually 🤔 holly? , and you restrict factual information from spreading with political bribery.

  8. …on the other hand, social media is where utter bullshit and conspiracy cranks go to thrive. There is a certain benefit to having professional journalists who require corroborating sources.

  9. "Why's the PR was so horrible?"

    I, causally, spotted many tiktok video made by IDF individuals. These include setting off bomb in a crowed mosque, peed on an dead Gazain, shot a mother walking with children while holding a white plag, spitted on two nuns walking by, jokingly knocked on the front door on the only standing wall left in a house they have bombed, and hundreds of videos of IDF harassing kids for fun…
    That is the PR on Tiktok.
