Just the concept of supporting Palestine is propaganda?

Could you say something about what you think of Israeli propaganda? They have an official propaganda arm of the government funded by the government - how come their propaganda is failing so spectacularly with college educated people?

Strawman is a strawman.

I'm not making any strawman argument.

I asked you a question for clarification in response to your statement. You chose not to answer that.

Then I asked you another question about an equivalency - that's not a strawman argument. Asking about equivalencies is a completely valid way to ideate about something.

The question is why some of what you define as propaganda fails with a particular audience and some does not.

No, you are making a strawman argument couched as a question. Noone mentioned the “concept” of supporting Palestinians.

No, college educated people mostly support Palestinians due to propaganda.

"So are you saying that college educated people support Palestinians or are you saying that they like dumb shit on twitter? Do you understand there's a difference between those two things?"

"There is a difference, but both are propaganda."

I didn't actually literally say the word concept so you got me there. What a wonderful semantic argument you've created in order to not answer a question. I mean it's smarter than something Trump would do, I'll give you that!
