3. and why its "regressive"....
propaganda...i.e. either simply making up stuff, exaggerating etc does no one any good here. If it was like in, lets say WWII, where the idea was "unconditional surrender" of the japanese, germans and italians the propaganda on the US side had a single purpose..to inspire and motivate the american citizens..and if any germans or japanese saw it, it would make little difference.

Today things are different. Cheap propaganda: stating claims that we are causing genocide, ethnic cleansing, massacring (i cant recall the last time any one i knew lined up the some Palestinians against a wall and machine gunned to death), giving them aids, gassing, cartoons of sharon eating Palestinian babies (england)....all get read by me and others like me......

and it reminds us of the stories of our grandparents in russia, the stories of spain, germany, france, egypt, syria, etc......just a modern more sophisticated version of the blood libel (jews needing christian/muslim blood for matza).

same shit... different package.....its a shame, because it doesnt nothing for peace....but a lot for war and occupation
