  • Yeah, those were very nice things she said about HAMAS when they initially kidnapped her. That still doesn’t change the fact that overall the testimonies are very different.

    The US government has significantly more influence over Israel than HAMAS. HAMAS was formed, at least in part, from the hate created by the apartheid state Israel is enforcing. If I can influence one person’s decision on whether or not to go to a protest, I will. That is my reason for interacting with these posts. To show how terrible Israel’s actions are when, I don’t know, maybe comparing how they treat their hostages vs how a terrorist organization does?




  • Advertising. They make it seem like the best thing since sliced bread so if someone is considering changing providers, that company comes to mind. The more they repeat it the more likely people are to think of it when considering options. It doesn’t work on everyone, but this tactic has enough supporting data for them to keep dumping money into it.

    To answer your question about why they are allowed to do it, I would imagine there are little to no regulations on how much is spent on advertising campaigns. It all depends on what a business can afford to spend. Since insurance companies are all about denying coverage, I’d imagine they have quite a bit to dump into advertising. I haven’t looked into it that much, but it looks like they can also claim these as business expenses and get tax write-offs. It wouldn’t be surprising if they tacked on other expenses to the advertising budget and claimed those as write-offs as well.
