When Words Become Both The Representation And The Represented

Notice how the simplest hasbara technique is used not only by Israel these days.

You might have noticed how the words of condemnation by our leaders towards Israeli treatment – not even necessarily kidnapping – of the Global Sumud Flotilla participants carry zero weight.

These are the words that mean absolutely nothing, as they are backed by no action (with the exception of governments we can count on our fingers).

What these words with no meaning represent is exactly what is left for Israel and its supporters to use as their last hasbara tool: to simply repeat the words that have no equivalent in reality.

This video could be considered a thematic extension of my previous piece here.

As always, stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
