Fam, your original premise was incorrect. You had the dates wrong.
The US media moves the way the defense industry wants them to move. As long as we don't see it daily, the media doesn't care and people won't care.
With this conflict now, realize most American journalists are in Tel Aviv.
We barely hear anything about Americans stuck in Palestine, but we've seen a bunch of stories about the Americans who are trying to flee Israel
What do you think is my original premise?
What I said is that the narrative is going to quickly shift once this "honeymoon" phase of governments and the media defending everything and anything Israel does, wears off. Right now the entire narrative is being driven by, amazingly it seems, just by twitter.
It doesn't matter where they are breh, this is a new age. A cell phone is all you need, and once it's posted and goes viral the media has to cover it whether you're in tel aviv or timbuktu.
Stories like this are going to be the norm.
Finally the fight the israelis are going to have domestically hasn't even really started.
