A conflict is escalating in Gaza, where the Israeli Defence Force has been engaged with Hamas for the past several days. And whoever is running the IDF’s Twitter account has decided to live-tweet the entire thing. The disconnect between the cavalier tone and the grave content is positively surreal.
Here’s what conflict looks like at the intersection of war and tweets. It’s bizarre, it’s disturbing. And you can’t look away:
What’s most unnerving, though, is how aggressively the IDFSpokesperson account is angling tweets of the ongoing conflict. Dropping viral hashtags like #BlackOps2 is a cynical — but probably effective — way to get as many eyes on your tweets as possible. It’s also downright disturbing.

Honestly, its sickening. Many of the Tweets are outright propaganda, and utterly biased towards a single side in a conflict where nobody has the moral high ground.
What! You mean a government is using propaganda in a conflict rather than reflecting a balanced and objective viewpoint! That is inconceivable!
A great many Israeli citizens live in areas where rockets fired from Gaza could land on their homes.
Israel’s hands are far from clean, but at least they don’t indiscriminately target civilians.
But yeah, the mixing of popular culture and war reports is insulting to anyone who is negatively affected by this conflict.
It’s all fun and games until a 6 year old arab girl gets showered with white phosphorous.
Naughty.
Made me laugh, though
Hehe
Hehe!
