See... this was the whole problem with Gaza. They didn't take enough time to manufacture consent!

Bibi thought that by using the 9/11 playbook, people would globally and immediately side with Israel against Gaza. The problem was that the attack simply wasn't flashy enough. On 9/11, we allowed a major religious building to be hit (the US official religion is commerce, after all - and what better representation that the two tallest buildings of commerce in the US?) - it was photographically spectacular.

The attack on the settlements was not photographed until it was too late. No big rockets bombing a landmark; no people falling from buildings; no images of weeping fire-fighters covered in ash... really, as far as manufacturing consent goes, the mission was an utter failure.

When will they learn? You either need to keep things hidden (Yemen, Africa), pump out a few years of propaganda and false flag ops* (Syria, Iran, Afghanistan). It's not enough to just arm the 'terrorists' and then use 'terrorism' as an excuse anymore. You need to run a years long campaign from all sides declaring that your opponents are 'commies' and of being 'Hitler' (Russia, China) - that's how you manufacture sufficient consent!

You can't just allow a few small townships to be attacked and then expect full-bodied global blood-thirst! Bibi and his pals just didn't think this through.
