As someone who leans left, that rant was pretty convincing! Maybe the real problem with Hasbara is its done by naive people who actually believe their own propaganda.

Excellent article, summarizing what I call the "butterfly counter-theory" on the conflict in M.E. There is this frame among Western leftist, which is indeed reminiscent of the famous "butterfly effect" theory, according to every time the IDF shoots a Palestinian, someone will feel compelled to draw a swastika on the walls of a synagogue in Paris or NY (or even worse, throwing some Auschwitz survivor out the window).

Well, along the lines, you can say every time leftist artists, activists, and intellectuals in the West start sperging about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the odds of Bibi getting crowned God-Emperor of Israel increase by 100 percent.
