What is interesting is how governments and controlled media flip and reverse terms (in a 1984 kind of way), along with avoiding accountability, to suit their purposes. Even when it is very obvious that actions are morally wrong, war crimes, or even genocide.

It's got to the point where it's like someone outrageously punching you in the face, then pretending they didn't or were the victims, when there is a response.

Exactly. As Bassem Youssef once put it: "Palestine is like a fish bowl. It's a lot of fish, it's condensed. Israel is like the person over that bowl, crashing the bowl, killing the fish, taking any fish they want. ...[talks about how Israel takes Palestinan hostages all the time]... At a certain point, Israel is just hovering over that fish bowl. At some moment, a fish, crazy enough, suicidal enough, will jump from the bowl, through the air, bite the pinkie of Israel. And Israel would be like: Oh my god! That bitch bit my pinkie and my hand was not even in the bowl."
