One of the reasons I spent 10 - 11 months walking and hitch hiking around the Middle East was that my military service had taught me not to trust MSM Ziono-media to be either honest or objective because of its blatant pro Israel bias.
Even as an obvious American I was never treated with hostility as I slept in parks, around mosques etc.
In the more remote villages I was frequently treated as a sort of celebrity ane many people insisted on treating me to tea or lunch as well as showing me the ancient ruins nearby.
The two questions I was most frequently asked were:
1. "Why do Americans suddenly hate us?"
2. Why does America help the Israelis kill off the Palestinians and steal their land?"
I tried to explain about our pro Israel MSM and the toxic influence AIPAC etc over American Middle East policy but they still couldn't understand how people as sophisticated as Americans could be so gullible and easily manipulated nor can I.
Meanwhile, Israel's army of Hasbara trolls are all desperately trying to deny raw genocide with the same tiresome lines from their Hasbara Handbook(1).

EXCERPT "A US political consultant and pollster, Frank Luntz, recently prepared an internal study for the Washington-based pro-Israel lobby group, The Israel Project, on how to shape US public opinion in favour of Israel.
Richard Silverstein comments on this propaganda (hasbara) handbook, the contents of which were exposed by Newsweek magazine.
The oddly-named Global Language Dictionary is a veritable goldmine of arguments, strategy, tactics. At 116 pages, it's not for the faint of heart. But anyone who wants to get inside the head of the Israel lobby must read this document.
The first thing to say is that the entire document is a pathetic piece of propaganda" CONTINUED
