The United States pulls its support of the Israeli occupation of Palestine and switches sides. It sends in the US military to pressure Israel to leave.

On June 6th, 2022, President Biden pulls US support for Israel back, demanding that the Israelis leave Palestine. The US then officially recognizes Palestine as a sovereign nation.

A few months later, 10,000 US Army troops and 8,000 US Marines arrive west of Palestine and hold position. The US forces steadily grow in number, as does Israelโ€™s troops on the other end.

How does this pan out?

[Fic] IAMA- United States Marine veteran stuck in Aldrin County, Washington. Aldrin County is currently under occupation by SpecCorp Defense, the strongest and most powerful private military corporation in the world. We need help ASAP

You're all probably thinking that I'm crazy or insane.

But I wish I was.

2 weeks ago, some contractors were at my doorsteps while I was making breakfast. Some guy in a black business suit and 2 armed contractors(both carried the GR-45 bullpup rifle)were present and basically raided my home for my firearms. I was also taken and brought to this....containment site? I don't know. Some place where dissidents were rounded up, but were too valuable to kill and had skills that may benefit SpecCorp.

Luckily(or not, I don't know), Thompson here(former Army National Guard soldier from Kansas)was also taken and we both managed to acquire arms and explosives from the armory. We led 15 other residents to safety and freedom, escaping out to the wilderness of Aldrin County. We stumbled upon a group of 15 other escapees.

Will leads the escapees(he's a retired cop), with Compton as his "chief lieutenant"(second in command)(Compton was an Air Force Reserve Airman and just came out of the Reserves a week ago).

Anyway, Will asked us to join due to our skills and experience(I was deployed to Iraq in 2021 as a security force Marine, while Thompson went to Afghanistan as an EOD specialist). We and our group agreed, and are currently attempting to establish communication lines with the outside world(we believe that SpecCorp has cut the entire county off from communicating with the outside world).

Anyway, our little compound here has somehow retained wifi access. While I'm pleading for help online, please, Ask Me Anything!

Israel's ongoing military occupation and repeated invasions have triggered a fierce backlash against Israeli policies virtually everywhere in the world โ€“ except the United States | Watch 'The Occupation of the American Mind', a film explaining why US media so stubbornly omits the Palestinian story

This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 41%.


> Pink Floyd's Roger Waters narrates new documentary focusing on "Israel's Public Relations War in the United States".

> Over the past few years, Israel's ongoing military occupation of Palestinian territory and repeated invasions of the Gaza strip have triggered a fierce backlash against Israeli policies virtually everywhere in the world - except the United States.

> The Occupation of The American Mind takes an eye-opening look at this critical exception, zeroing in on pro-Israel public relations efforts within the US. https://www.

> George Matta, founder of Mundovision Productions, filmed a documentary called the "The Occupation of the American Mind: Israel's Public Relations War in the United States." The documentary brings to light the double standards with which the mainstream media, and particularly the U.S. mainstream media, treats Israel and Palestine.

> "While recent polls have shown global public opinion turning sharply against Israeli policy, public support for Israel in the U.S. has held firm. The Occupation of the American Mind, narrated by Roger Waters and featuring leading experts on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, takes an unflinching look at the information wars Israel and its supporters have been waging in the U.S. for decades."

> "From PR offensives designed to manage perceptions of the occupation in the 1980s, to government-run social media campaigns today, the film provides an eye-opening analysis of Israel's ongoing efforts to win the hearts and minds of the American people."
