Comment on Angry Birds, Stack: Israeli ads showing Hamas atrocities pop up in children’s video games
evulhotdog@lemmy.world 1 year agoI’ve experienced the same. My whole feed is basically that these days, and you would think that people would keep it professional. I think actual ads, plus the crazy levels of nationalism, almost everyone being indoctrinated in the IDF, and most Israelis knowing someone who has been impacted, explains it, but boy is it annoying when you’re trying to do anything career related.

I think they’re very deliberate about taking it to the work sphere. They don’t want to yell about it on Facebook. They want their pogrom to be fully legitimized and so they’re proudly defending it publicly in a professional sphere. Collectively, this gives it an air of legitimacy, like it’s not just opinion, this is fact. And frankly a lot of people in the business world are happy to just nod and repeat the mantra of the two pilicital parties: Israel is our friend! The only democracy in the Middle East! It has a right to defend itself! (Returns to making money)
