Propaganda by Israeli government

"The Israeli military brings out generals, commanders and intelligence officers to brief journalists. They use social media to push out their messages; during the initial ground incursion last month, the military was live-tweeting propaganda, vowing to crush Hamas, providing pithy quotes for newspapers to publish. Everyone, from the receptionists to the prime minister’s spokesman, seems on point, as if they all get memos every day on what to say to the foreign media. I’m pretty sure they actually do."
