>Towards the end of the article, they make it sound like it's for the good of the oppressed. I guess we have a good contender for a future Nobel peace prize award. Isn't that the point a well written PR article? To inform and to persuade? As someone who have done some reputation management work with the defense sector and firms that offer private peacekeeping solutions, it is crucial to shape the narrative early to avoid misunderstanding from the general public.

Anyone curious how a Palestinian refugee camp can exist under Palestinian authority 70 years after the war that made those ppl refugees? Are they going to stay refugees forever?

    Sorry, this is just wrong. Many of my relatives lived their entire lives in Ain al-Hilweh (palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon) and not only aren't they getting Lebanese passports as palestinians, they can not work nor own property in Lebanon. If at all, they can buy temporary "passports" for Oman and work there as engineers for Oil refineries and rigs. They're not dedicating their lifes to "hate and terror" -- they want a normal life and they aren't allowed to.

      Sorry to hear about conditions in Lebanon, but that particular camp is under Palestinian authority territory in the West Bank. What does the legal situation look like there?

You mean to avoid actual understanding? I think everyone intuitively understands what ai guns leads to. Wars that the gov can do without its public caring so much, and govs that can't be toppled by civil unrest (read the military/cops switching sides)

Its important to lie and promote the idea that its not an apartheid state running a gigantic prison.
