the secret meaning of conspiracy theories

in an odd way, i am reassured when the qana conspiracy theories started bubbling out of the crazy end of the blogisphere.

implicit in their efforts is the notion that there would be something wrong if israel did kill so many civilians. if they didn't think so many civilian deaths was a big deal then why go through all the trouble to prove israel didn't do it? sure, they may be in denial. but their denial reveals a level of discomfort of what is happening there.
