    Dude are you saying Trump voters don’t act against their own self interest because of propaganda? So why would you think your ethnicity makes you less susceptible to propaganda.

    Your social media is probably full of “news” items telling you to not vote for Biden because he’s an evil demon the same as the MAGA social media feeds. Probably sewing the same distrust of “mainstream media” as their feeds are doing.

    I’ve had discussions with the “genocide joe” types and discussions with the MAGAs. They are the exact same kinds of discussions. Same outrage same distrust of anything that doesn’t fit the narrative. Same ignorance, same disregard for self interest thinking it’s noble act to make things worse.

    Honestly, the Palestinian movement is a violent blood and soil antisemitic movement. They’re good at propaganda because it’s what fascists do. Even Jews fell for this kind of thing the last time it happened. They only hate the Cosmopolitan Zionist Jews, you’ll be ok as long as you go along with them, right?

    When my Grandfather’s generation was done with the country that was spouting this kind of shit last time the cities of that country looked a lot like Gaza does now. They put fascists in power, we all hoped that movement would fizzle out but it didn’t. The world would be better off if Hamas didn’t exist but it got too much outside support to die off on it’s own. Maybe this conflict will at least weaken them enough so their River to the Sea movement will die out. Or maybe it will continue because of outside support. Which case this all happens again in another generation.

    So tell me do you want this to happen again? Support Hamas and it will. So if you support Hamas, and that results in this happening again, who’s the one that’s really promoting genocide? It ain’t “genocide joe” who’s doing everything he can to end it.

    Ah but you’re too upset to even consider how support for a Palestinian movement that has refused to separate itself from Hamas makes you complicit in genocide. That’s an accusation you like to throw at others, and you’re too emotional to consider your own actions. And always the point of fascist propaganda. Too emotional to think about the repercussions of your actions.

      Ok, well, if you think the Palestinians and Jews are to blame for all this, we have nothing else to discuss. I no longer think you want to have legitimate discussion. Personal advice, be less bigoted the next time you want to discuss this.

        What’s bigoted? Thinking that Palestinians are people and are therefore responsible for their actions?

        And I did mention that Palestinian fascism has a lot of support from the outside. Oil rich assholes, Iran, naive westerners. Lots of outside support which keeps Palestinian leaders corrupt and authoritarian. Which is the major obstacle for Palestinian statehood. Not that most people care about that, it’s only maintaining a righteous anger that matters, right? Hamas might’ve faded from existence if it weren’t for this.

        See the emotional narratives have gotten you so wound up you don’t have any rational arguments anymore. So just default to calling anyone you disagree a bigot and refuse to think about anything that conflicts with your emotions.
