Like conspiracy theorists (who are mostly idiotic), people of radical persuasions look for gaps to exploit or unsupported claims to use in order to persuade the weak-minded to their cause, and the US has an ample store of weak-minded and conspiracy minded fools ready to jump unto any cause that will abide their beliefs. They in effect "select" their beliefs rather than accept that the things that are happening in the world are really happening. Perhaps, they DO know that what they see happening in the news is really happening, but realize that it is so shameful and horrifying that people will never look at them and their culture in the same way. Perhaps deep inside themselves they DO have a conscience and are just as bothered by the reports as the people who do believe that what is happening is really happening, but again - the shame - the horror - just too much to accept, so then they lie to themselves and to others and say that the things the reporters say and show us in the news are not really what happened. Or...perhaps they really are just plain stupid and truly don't believe their lying eyes.
In either case, that leads to the next step, the "moral equivalency" made by college students and supporters in the US of the Palestinian cause, equating the horrors of decapitating babies, raping and torturing young girls and little girls, blowing up and shooting defenseless people with surgical military strikes throughout years of Israeli occupation and/or restrictions. Of course, there is no way you can make a moral equivalency between cutting off babies' heads and military strikes. Thus, the need to say that there are no decapitated babies, raped girls, and all the other horrible stuff. It's all just made up by the Israeli military. It's all a fantasy. A conspiracy!
Believe it or not, there are many just plain ole stupid people in America (mostly the youth) - and even more so in the world at large - who will go along with that and not even question how insane and contradictory to their own goals it would be for Israel to do something like that. The Israelis REALLY, REALLY, REALLY didn't want this war! And the last thing they wanted was to have to go into Gaza. They literally have no choice now.
During the Vietnam War it was hard for Americans to accept that their own soldiers had committed atrocities. It was from then we got the term "Baby Killers," which many war protestors and college students shouted at returning American soldiers. Americans dealt with their guilt from that war and changed, seeing the truth of what was done, not denying it (which was actually not as vicious as what was done last week by the terrorists) and Americans improved and became a better people for it, realizing what truly makes a war hero.
Today it's the opposite of the situation from Vietnam, as the returning "baby killers" in Gaza are seen as the heroes on college campuses across the US and other places in the world. You just need to close your mind, forget your conscience, and not believe reality.
The world has become a truly sick and demented place.
