The article is on point and very illuminating about the success of Israeli "hasbara", or propaganda, at defining the issues and defending Israel against the realities of occupation and apartheid.

Especially interesting were the many examples cited. Among them:
include:

“Israel has always wanted peace; the Palestinians have always rejected it.”

“In the present, Israel has tried to negotiate for a two-state solution, but the Palestinians don’t want it.”

“There is no Palestinian partner – they are divided and ruled by corrupt terrorists or Islamist terrorists.”

“The conflict cannot be solved now. We’ll just have to wait for some other time in the future when they’re ready.”


And we also see how often these same excuses, themes, memes, are used at DU, as well as in the corporate US media, by apologists for Israel as a means of attacking any attempts to discuss the truth behind Israeli occupation.

It is entirely too dangerous to rely on disinformation and propaganda because at some point you may start believing that as opposed to reality. I would say that it is consistent with most of todays current so called conservatives anywhere in the world.
Just as many have said of the US. We can never be brought down by some external force but will fall to forces of our own creation, Israels own government may be the greatest existential threat they face.

what strikes me again and again is how the onus in nearly every situation is placed on the Palestinians, but in doing that what Israel's supporters and propagandists seem not realize is that is a tacit admission that Israel will do nothing but what it has been

Does that remind you of anybody in I/P?
