    Satire usually uses sarcasm or hyperbole or some variation, this reads very flat. While it may seem absurd to some, it’s coming off more as just repeating propoganda points rather than actively pointing out irony or hypocritical thinking etc. Just doesn’t have the flare to read as satire. It reads more like the writer holds these views themselves. Perhaps I missed something in tone but that’s my two-cents. Satire can be hit or miss; see Poe’s Law.

        Then to be satire it should have some context, perhaps a title or sub-title like:

        “This just in! Hot off the presses! Israelis propoganda machine Hasbara hard at work to justify land theft in the West Bank:”
