“ Pick a few outliers
Hasbara culture is Zionist.”
Hi Maghlawatan, please see Carolina Landsmann on Netanyahu, (Goldberg) and hasbara culture’s “anti-Zionism,” which I agree with and will address in my part two: https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-who-s-afraid-of-netanyahu-1.5910662
Hi Maghlawatan, please see this article of mine for the cultural difference between Rabin and Netanyahu’s Israel. https://medium.com/@YakovHirsch/are-the-palestinian-people-a-nazi-jihadi-amalgam-2cbbc63a47cd
Also, this Daniel Bar-Tal essay is very good on the same subject: https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-how-to-keep-a-conflict-burning-1.5439522

“There is an old historical debate between “Cleopatra’s nose” and the longue durée. Is history made by incidental human factors and actions – Pascal’s saying that “if Cleopatra’s nose had been shorter, the whole face of the world would have been changed” – or is it determined by deeper currents which individual endeavour is powerless to retard or impel, as the great French historian Fernand Braudel insisted with his “long period” of change, beside which everyday political events were mere “dust.”
Maghlawatan, IMO the unique stature the “Holocaust,” “anti-Semitism”& “Zionism” have in American and Western culture, (along with the particular psychology of diaspora Jewry) have allowed “hasbara culture” fanatics like “Bibi” and Jeffrey Goldberg to have monumental cultural and political influences that is much more difficult for other single individuals in other cultural contexts to have.
Mooser, I can use a good “pirate radio” critic. Any chance that is included in all your myriad skills?
Those interested in my perspective on how hasbara culture works please listen to today’s youtube audio. I do a Talmudic reading of this Jeffrey Goldberg column.

“Now read Gen Yair Golan’s Holocaust speech. I am writing for people who see a difference between Netanyahu and Golan.”
“Golan can deliver a more liberal Zionism? Let’s hope so.”
Mooser, best i repeat my statement to avoid further confusion.
“I am writing for people who see a difference between Netanyahu and Golan.”
