Here’s a laundry list of the kinds of places Israel has bombed over the last decade - just to put the recent tidal wave of propaganda efforts in regards to Israel's actions into perspective.

I don’t know if war crimes are really a boring dystopia.

No, they are not. But the well-funded propaganda used to run interference for them is... which is why I'm posting this.

Hmm fair enough. It's still less boring than most but I support a big tent approach to the boring dystopia.

It's definitely extremely fucking dystopian. The NYT opinion section and their ilk just instantly mobilized to write a dizzying amount of war crime apologia the second the whole thing started. It's like they're reading manufacturing consent and nodding along with all the bright and good ideas in there.
