I would hope that nobody thinks the terrorist group HAMAS is acting in the Palestinian’s best interest. There are ways to deal with terrorists that don’t involve killing thousands of civilians.

Good fkn luck, the US government has made it very clear they support the Gaza conquest, no matter how many civilian lives are lost.

Congratulations you correlated semantics with intention. Are you saying there is not a difference between the testimonials? Because that is the point in my comment. I want the unnecessary civilian deaths to stop. What are you arguing for?

Yeah, those were very nice things she said about HAMAS when they initially kidnapped her. That still doesn’t change the fact that overall the testimonies are very different.

The US government has significantly more influence over Israel than HAMAS. HAMAS was formed, at least in part, from the hate created by the apartheid state Israel is enforcing. If I can influence one person’s decision on whether or not to go to a protest, I will. That is my reason for interacting with these posts. To show how terrible Israel’s actions are when, I don’t know, maybe comparing how they treat their hostages vs how a terrorist organization does?

Well that is a pretty stark contrast from the testimony from the HAMAS hostages.

Obligatory: I do not condone violence from either side and want the violence and apartheid to end.

Edit: changed a word as to not cause confusion

Advertising. They make it seem like the best thing since sliced bread so if someone is considering changing providers, that company comes to mind. The more they repeat it the more likely people are to think of it when considering options. It doesn’t work on everyone, but this tactic has enough supporting data for them to keep dumping money into it.

To answer your question about why they are allowed to do it, I would imagine there are little to no regulations on how much is spent on advertising campaigns. It all depends on what a business can afford to spend. Since insurance companies are all about denying coverage, I’d imagine they have quite a bit to dump into advertising. I haven’t looked into it that much, but it looks like they can also claim these as business expenses and get tax write-offs. It wouldn’t be surprising if they tacked on other expenses to the advertising budget and claimed those as write-offs as well.

If they just started doing bad things, they weren’t doing them before. You don’t count past sins in fake journalism. You see a hot story, copy, paste, then hope people forget.

“What climate change? Scientist are trying to steal your money!!!”

• Politicians and the 1% hoping Musk Rat finishes his Mars plans soon.

If I had to guess, tax breaks.

Ignorance is bliss.

Ah yes, the reason people are protesting is because of the hospital raid, not the wanton slaughter of civilians.

Well this is horrifying.
