#1 So why do the CIA and FBI prefer this?

#2 It should be obvious - showing disgusting videos of dead people provokes a disgust reaction - making people super angry at Russia. Censoring the same videos prevents people from getting super angry at Israel.

You think the psychologists who specialize in manipulating the emotions of huge numbers of people don't know this?

#3 showing disgusting videos of dead people provokes a disgust reaction

Very true. But, psychologically speaking, disgusting images are those of rotting flesh, feces, or vomit. The graphic images from the Ukraine-Russia contretemps (because we oughtn’t call it a proper war, according to Russia) fall under the heading of distressing and, as I recall, psych studies show that most people prefer to avoid being distressed if they can — a very different response. What those who love Palestine post, on the third hand, is correctly termed propaganda, being either selectively edited or created by the Pallywood specialists out of whole cloth.

#6 So they're censoring the depiction of Israel as the crafty moslem killer it is. Good thing right?

#8 Showing the same images of Israeli airstrikes tends to expose the same injured people at multiple locations.

#10 They did show Israeli airstrike damage.

Its how we got Green Helmet Guy, Blue Helmet Dude, and Wailing Woman, and the same four child victims seen getting snacks in between takes.

Pallywood was born. And it was so ugly, its momma slapped it.
