    This is obviously vile, but I have seen one of their ads and it’s almost more convincing of genocide than the pro Palestine ads. Israel has ads out insisting there is plenty of food in Gaza, and they back that up by a handful of images of the most devastatingly sad plates of food you’ve seen. What looks like a single taquito on a plate that it’s basically swimming in. They’re like “see! How can there be a famine when they have a taquito to share amongst the whole country!” If the onion were to satirize it they couldn’t do as good of a job. I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve never had to run ads about how I’m specifically not committing a genocide. The whole campaign makes them look guilty. I don’t really see ads, so I can’t speak to the whole campaign, some may be more effective for their cause, but I really hope all are as transparently false as the one I saw.

        A man who must insist he is king, is no king.

        I’m sorry but first thing that popped in my head reading this sentence was:
