    A U.S. veteran I know had a joint training in the 90’s with isreali soldiers. They talked, alot in common as junior enlisted. This kid (20 or so) had a crisis, he grew up being told all this (propaganda) but during a patrol they where interrogating (or arresting, I forget granular details) someone, his OIC was demanding information and threatened to shot the mans kid if he didn’t. The man aqueciced but this soldier became disillusioned, he questioned if he would have been orderd to shoot a child had the man not aqueciced. He realized more reality of the situation…

    It has been this way for some decades. Wars have been fought over it, it was never a secret, just propaganda pushed to the public to distract from the truth. Many, if not most Americans drank the kool aid, and still do, accepting propaganda agianst truth.
