The Israeli military has begun using provocative images of Israeli women soldiers on social media to spread pro-Zionist propaganda and public opinion.
More than 250 Palestinians have been killed and thousands injured in recent Israeli aggression and state terrorism in Gaza and Palestine.
Photos and videos of Israeli bombings on social media and photos of martyred and injured Palestinian children have shaken the world, causing Israel to be discredited around the world and its reputation severely damaged. Everyone who cares about the plight of the oppressed Palestinians sheds tears and strongly condemns the Israeli atrocities.
According to a foreign news agency, the Israeli army has mobilized on social media to improve its image, using pornographic videos and photos of attractive young Israeli women soldiers as a weapon to sway public opinion in its favor an spread hatred against the Palestinians. This technique has been dubbed the ‘grip of lust’.
The most popular youth app, TalkTalk, is also being used in this regard, but the comments also criticize the Israeli army in the context of the recent bombing in Gaza.
The Israeli military’s campaign aims to encourage compulsory recruitment of Israeli youth into the army and to educate those who are avoiding military service.
Rebecca Stein, a professor at Duke University, says Israel has a long history of romantically displaying military uniforms and portraying soldiers as great heroes, including on social media to meet the demands of modern times, however, after the recent Gaza war, Palestinian social media and expressions of solidarity with it around the world have defeated Israeli propaganda, the Israeli military has realized that it cannot confront the truth with lies and will now have to devise a new public relations strategy.
