Except you literally think that though. You just wrap it around some BS like "war is baaaad" or "hamas is baaaaad".
So I guess if war is bad and everything is allowed, the take your example further and say that killing Israeli civilians is "tragic but war is war".
Don't spit on my cupcake and tell me it's frosting.

So if Israel had any kind of military base near civilian areas, would that mean it's using Israeli citizens as human shields?

"Echoing his leader, Major General Igor Konashenkov, chief spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Defence, stated in a news conference on February 28 that “the armed forces of the Russian Federation strike only at military targets”. Discussing the capital, Kyiv, he added that “the leadership of Ukraine and the authorities of the city, having announced a curfew, are persuading the residents of the capital to stay in their homes”. This, he concluded, “once again proves that the Kyiv regime uses the residents of the city as a ‘human shield’ for the nationalists who have deployed artillery units and military equipment in residential areas of the capital”."
"Then on March 3, Moscow accused Ukrainian authorities of holding a group of 6,000 Indian students and other foreign nationals as “human shields”. Indian authorities themselves denied the claim. A couple of days later, Putin declared that “the neo-Nazis” were obstructing the creation of humanitarian corridors requested by the Ukrainian government to evacuate civilians trapped in the line of fire, claiming “the militants” were keeping the potential evacuees as human shields."

Basically this in every capacity.
Immigrants are easy to hate and kick out. They are already probably vulnerable as a group, so kicking them while they are down while screaming, "YOU DON'T EVEN BELONG HERE!" makes emotionally immature people feel like they regaining control and protecting their country. This however has nothing to do with the other. Societies where racism begins to thrive will pick any vulnerable group. In Nazi Germany, it was the Jews. In China, it's the Uyghurs. In many European countries, it's the immigrants.
What exacerbates this further is that hating on immigrants (or any vulnerable group) worsens their conditions which makes it easier to point the finger and blame them for crime or lack of resources. Rinse and repeat. The spiral continues. The racists get more validation after pushing the immigrants down, and the immigrants become more frustrated with a country that doesn't value their taxes and contributions.

She does all that and yet it all sounds repetitive and bland. She might as well be replaced by an AI.

As someone who was raped as a teen, I would still do anything in my power to prevent you from killing my rapist. Because if you kill them, you're just worse than them, really.

Correct. Propaganda doesn't need to be unfactual. Using a celebrity figure to promote a certain party or ideology because idiots with no music taste love to worship this "musician" is propaganda... whether we like the party she advocates for or not.

Never said all ads are like that. Still wondering how much dystopian ads like that bring along in actual value.
...whether it was by a cult, by propaganda, by an algorithm, etc... And did the person ever recover from it?
The news on CNN and reported the same way on every other self-respecting news agency: > US President Joe Biden said Israel's military operation to go after Hamas had been "over the top," as he highlighted the plight of Palestinians who have endured heavy bombardment and a lack of essential supplies. https://edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-02-09-24/index.html Times of Israel: > Biden calls Gaza response ‘over the top’; unclear if remarks aimed at Israel or Hamas > US president was apparently responding to question about hostage negotiations; also said ‘a lot of innocent people are dying, and it’s gotta stop’; White House does not clarify https://www.timesofisrael.com/biden-calls-gaza-response-over-the-top-unclear-if-remarks-aimed-at-israel-or-hamas/
No full article for this yet, but it's on the AlJazeera Live Updates Page In case the link doesn't work well on mobile, here is the news: > **Israeli snipers shooting at ‘every moving object’** > As we reported earlier, Israeli snipers killed at least 21 people in Khan Younis in the south of Gaza, where displaced Palestinians were gunned down trying to reach Nasser Hospital. > Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Rafah, says that Israeli snipers are surrounding the area of Nasser Hospital and “shooting at every moving object” as people are trying to reach it from the two densely populated residential neighbourhoods from the eastern and the western part of the hospital. > “The area around the hospital is very dangerous, and it has turned into a combat zone,” he said, noting that the hospital area is the only place right now in Khan Younis that has some water left.
