Literally a thing that happens in Metal Gear Solid(so yeah, B movie) except its the CIA's CIA that does it and it doesnt actually even manage to properly kill any of the important people in the literal helicopter that it exploded in above open ocean.
If you're only reference for terrorists are movie villains this makes complete sense.
You (probably) joke but it's true. It may be extremely paranoid to say this, but I can't help but feel the US government is entirely aware of the propagandistic power of television and have made full use of it in that way for decades, and I don't just mean movies and TV shows.
Nah, I think you're overreacting, there's no way the US government would use the media to dehumanise the US's enemies. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch a marvel movie where the good guy heros fight terrorists in the middle east with the US army and then maybe play some Call of Duty.
Justice Scalia responded with a defense of Agent Bauer, arguing that law enforcement officials deserve latitude in times of great crisis. "Jack Bauer saved Los Angeles.... He saved hundreds of thousands of lives," Judge Scalia reportedly said. "Are you going to convict Jack Bauer?" He then posed a series of questions to his fellow judges: "Say that criminal law is against him? 'You have the right to a jury trial?' Is any jury going to convict Jack Bauer?" "I don't think so," Scalia reportedly answered himself. "So the question is really whether we believe in these absolutes. And ought we believe in these absolutes."
What if Hamas rigged the inside of a hostage so when a doctor does surgery a little man springs out like a jack-in-the-box, and "pop goes the weasel" plays, but the little man is actually a tiny Hamas terrorist so as the tune ends he shoots the doctor? Scary, right?
No, Hamas will put a bomb inside a hostage's guts and another inside her vagina, so when the rescue team is leaving with her on the copter she will blow up as she jumps from it, leaving Big Boss unconscious for 9 years. 😔
Hamas will capture the wrong guy and spend, like, 15 minutes monologuing at him with a revenge speech he's been practicing for decades. Only to get killed by their own giant robot, shortly after.
What if Hamas rigged the inside of a hostage so when a doctor does surgery a little alien springs out and sings "Hello my baby, Hello my honey, Hello my nightime gaaa-al~!" with a barbershop hat and cane before leaving the diner? Really Scary, Right??
Omg and then the IDF bravely disarms the explosives with giant digital clocks on the front with only one second left and they all hug while Hamas is captured by a U.S. Army team. A mid credit scene shows one Hamas member about to get up but then a car drives over them and the end credits roll.
Ah yes, they are both violent primitive savages blinded by their own bloodthirstyness and also expert doctors that can surgically implant explosive devices into unwilling hostages without causing them to, you know, die from that.
Definitely think that on average the longer you're saturated in propaganda the worse the get so older you are the worse the critical thinking tends to be
never underestimate the ignorance of amerikkkans… most of them seem to get their idea of Hamas from ISIS (beheadings, throwing people off roofs, no rights for women, killing Christians). but i see that r*dditors somehow stoop even lower
I don't care if I'm a fascist for saying this: people with baby brains like this with the power to vote in mass murderers are why I've lost faith in democracy.
And then Arnie will show up in a harrier jump jet, sling the leader of Hamas under the missile, and say "Your fired" before shooting him at a Hamas helicopter.
Didn't Israel themselves once say that it's impossible to put an IED inside a human big enough to do any damage to anyone besides the person it was inside?
