There’s no doubt a key driver behind opposition to the Gaza massacre, especially among normie types, has been the footage from smartphones showing the mass destruction and casualties.
Hypothetically, if the War in Iraq occurred with 2023 smartphone technology, how would this have impacted public opinion?
Would Bush have been re-elected in 2004?
Also, for historians of the war, is there a particular atrocity during the war that has been documented by activists or watchdogs but has limited photographic evidence, that had it been recorded by smartphone, could have single-handedly turned the tide of public opinion?
The invasion of Iraq was literally broadcast on every news channel during prime time slots. It was scheduled specifically for that time, to make it as flashy and cool as possible. Americans reveled in the destruction.
So, no.
It wasn’t shown from the victims’ perspective though. It was just “look how big America’s dick is, ooh rah”
