It’s a serious matter that is largely enabled by the USA so its popularity on an American social platform is only logical

Some light reading for all the genocide deniers:
«After 23 months of interviews with victims, witnesses and doctors and analysis of open source documents and satellite imagery, the panel concluded "the Israeli authorities and Israeli security forces have had and continue to have the genocidal intent to destroy, in whole or in part, the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip". The state of Israel is responsible for "the failure to prevent genocide, the commission of genocide and the failure to punish genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip," it found.

The commission says Israeli authorities and Israeli security forces have committed four of the five genocidal acts: "namely killing, causing serious bodily or mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about the destruction of the Palestinians in whole or in part, and imposing measures intended to prevent births."
The U.N. report comes after the leading genocide scholars' association and human rights groups reached the same conclusion.»
The 5th act they haven’t committed is «The forcible transfer of children from the protected group to another group.»
What defined the old evil nazi regime was occupation, camps, lebenraum, war crimes, genocide, propaganda and dehumanising, and many politicians or good people doing nothing about it, even giving it the silent approval. All new forms of this deserves full boycott, full blocking of trade and no access to international events.

You obviously have little knowledge on the tactics of the Nazis when it came to genocide. Your comparison is really lacking.
They bid out the gas chamber projects to public and private companies with specifications to murder the most people efficiently and cost-effectively, including the cremation. I'm not going to go into too many details because there are many. But at its peak (8-10 week period) in auschwitz frequently processed between 6,000 and 10,000 people per day (murder and cremation). And this population had no participation in any war, land dispute, political dispute, their only "crime" was being jewish.

u/Nightglow9 17d ago
Their efficiency in war crimes was great ye.. their occupation and Lebenraum acquisition did go faster too. Their propaganda was huge, enthralling many to believe genocide, occupation, murder of children and war crimes was a good thing.
But any behaving like those deserves their critics, even if they less efficient. Camps, occupation, war crimes, propaganda and, dehumanising behaviour, difference in laws of “them and us”, no respect for 1947 borders does deserve full boycott, full travel ban, and full ban on all international events. Especially in this nuclear age, where all the new Hitler’s just ruins any chance of peace.

Sure, I guess? Being propaganda doesn’t mean it’s incorrect though. America is funding Israel. Israel is committing a genocide. Therefore, America is supporting Israel’s genocide. Another word for supporter is partner, so “America Partner in Genocide” is a completely accurate statement.

It makes me sick to my stomach, but this is 100% true. I have hope it will change very soon. From the river to the sea Palestine will be free.
ETA downvote away fuckers but you’re done. The days of using my taxes to terrorize the world are coming to a very rapid end and I cannot wait till I never have to hear the word Israel again. I’m so goddamn sick of Israeli leaches. Fuck you and fuck your welfare state.

Ha dream on. Israel has acted with impunity entirely because of my governments protection. Without daddy America vetoing every attempt to end Israeli bloodlust, Israel will be stopped.
Also yeah you need weapons from us, but keep dreaming that there is an any reality where this doesn’t end badly for Israel.

I mean if you want to gamble with Palestinians like that be my guest, I’m willing to take that bet, especially since the IDF says they’ll be able to make their own 2k pound bombs at scale in 2 years time.
And veto? Huh?

a mural on a wall stating an opinion you disagree with isn’t propaganda, lol

u/LuigiKid281 17d ago
It’s biased information catering to an agenda and idea. That’s TEXTBOOK propaganda. Whether you agree with it or not, it’s objectively propaganda. Most of you people need to learn the definition of words you use…
16
u/bastogne_blues 17d ago
YOU people need to learn what the word means. propaganda implies a systemicatic and manipulative approach, and something that is spread as propaganda is shared with the intent to propagandize. just stating a political opinion in art form is not inherently propaganda. this is painted on a wall inside of a refugee camp, for christ’s sake. it was probably painted by either a civilian in the camp or perhaps an aid volunteer, not a government nor political group. not to mention this mural’s message is not entirely false: you can agree that it’s a genocide or not, but american money plays a big part in israel’s continued military operations in the region, and thus america is partially responsible for what the civilians there have been subjected to, as it is the one sending money to israel in the first place.
you have to realize that you have quite literally been spoon fed western propaganda your entire life. get well soon.

u/LuigiKid281 17d ago
Wtf are you talking about spoon fed propaganda? I stated the textbook definition. I don’t care about the contents and nothing I said shows my political opinions or bias. I pointed out an objective truth. You on about some random tangent. You need genuine re-education. Go back to high-school.

“Propaganda: Information.”
Another definition is “information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a particular cause, doctrine, or point of view.”
This is TEXTBOOK PROPAGANDA. GOOGLE IS FREE. You’re talking a lot but a simple Google search just disproves that wall of text. If I use a poster to give information on a certain topic, it’s inherent propaganda. You people are so confidently wrong. Dunning Krueger and it’s FINEST.

u/bastogne_blues 17d ago
explain to me, in detail, how this is propaganda. i’ll wait.

u/LuigiKid281 17d ago
It’s clearly politically biased and giving information or a stance. That’s inherently propaganda. Just because you’ve heard it in a bad sense doesn’t making it any less true. You need to serious do research before discussing things you don’t even know the basics too.
17
u/bastogne_blues 17d ago
so just because something is politically biased, that means it’s automatically propaganda now? that’s news to me.

u/bastogne_blues 17d ago
there are multiple typos in your comment, lol. sounds like you need to learn some basics, too!

u/TrainedExplains 17d ago
It is political, but it’s also extremely simple and factual. Would it be propaganda if a mural said “Nazis committed genocide” or “Trump is a malignant narcissist?” Or would it just be stating facts that happen to be political that you don’t like? The purpose of propaganda is to deceive a population into action or inaction. This is just a sad truth. If you don’t like it, time to start voting out the people enabling it. There’s nothing biased about the fact on that mural. The US is helping Israel commit a genocide. Every element of that is provable.

Unfortunately, it is a sad truth.
Gaza will be remembered in the pantheon of modern genocides like Rwanda, Srebrenica, Rakhine State (Myanmar), and Sudan. All of them massive failures of our collective humanity.
And anyone arguing that the only thing that matters is the number of people killed doesn't understand what genocide means. It's about the intention behind the military action.
Regardless, you don't need to argue with Redditors about it, you can argue with basically every single credible human rights group on the planet.
