Was just thinking about propaganda and inversion.
Here's the commonly accepted perception:
Israel: Beleaguered state, surrounded by enemies. Constantly attacked. Doesn't get the support it needs. Shunned by the world. Has the right to self defense.
Iran: Official State Sponsor of Terrorism™. Rogue state. Engages in murder and assassination. A danger to the world. Causes chaos in the region. Has nukes.
Not saying Iran is innocent, for the record. They do fund other groups, but if you're talking just the actions of the State itself, Israel is much more involved in terrorism, murder, and assassination than Iran is. Openly, brazenly.
It's amazing how easily you could flip these. DARVO.
I'm just saying no one's information is accurate. It's fog of war. Everything is compromised. Unless you have your own military with satellite imagery, and have boots on the ground gathering intel, no one knows what's truly going on and even then you could be wrong as evidenced by many wars in which governments had wrong information over things that supposedly occured.
