Don't use israeli propaganda if you don't want to be labeled a zionist
When you have to accept obvious falsehoods because you are scared of the Internet people, you might want to check your personal character.
They also always use the phrase "Israeli propaganda" like a boogie man. It's like, yeah the best propaganda mixes truth with lies. I'm not going to bow to the Internet trolls who judge what is true based upon who it helps in that moment.
Israel keep talking about how it had no choice but killing civilians because Hamas has tunnels below civilians infrastructures. It doesn't matter if the tunnels exists or not because Israel as the settler colonial power has no right to drop a single bomb and enter a single meter of Gaza and the west bank that they colonize and occupy. Pro Vietnam war also said the same bullshit about how Vietcong was hiding in tunnels beneath civilians so they have to kill civilians.
The day occupation end , the tunnel will be abandoned or destroyed
This is a perfect example of the emerging MAGA left; when someone tells you to not trust your lying eyes because of might go against "the narrative". Trump did that for year with his base, and this is the exact same thing. Your words: "It doesn't matter if the tunnels exists or not" i.e. truth no longer matters, just shut up when we tell you obvious lies. You might hate the war hate the occupation, hate the settlers, but that is not enough, you have to accept every lie we tell you.
No I don't, if you want to ban me and create an echo chamber, go ahead.
I said the tunnels exists but it is the truth that it doesn't matter if they exists or not. Israel has no legal right to do anything in Gaza and the west bank because they are the settler colonial power. The other truth is that your dumb argument is what Israel is using to commit genocide .
It is not an echo chamber to delete propaganda. The Ukraine subreddit is doing the same thing because, like the Palestinians, they are the side being attacked. I don't see anyone complaining about that; it's considered fine. But when pro-Palestinian subreddits remove propaganda, many hypocrites start crying, calling it censorship, and accusing them of trying to build echo chambers
The comparison with trump cultists is dumb as hell.
The thing is, I don't disagree with anything you said about Israel, but I absolutely disagree that we all have to sensor our speech from obvious facts because it might coincide with a countries propaganda. That is just nutso MAGA all over it and exactly what you are telling me to do. If you can't see the similarities, I can't help you. "but I am lying for a good reason" is not compelling.
What the point of mentioning the tunnels? Does it strip hamas right to resist settler colonialism and genocide according to you?
Sorry this doesn't fit your narrative that you are the hero telling people to believe obvious lies. The news article was regarding how Ukraine punished a contractor who stores military weapons near civilians as that is against international law. A commenter compared that to Hamas which seemed pretty relevant since those are the two majors wars occurring at the moment.
Also look at how you can't face the fact you are telling people to censer themselves, so you pivot.
The propagandist is you , the one who don't want to get out of your false narrative is you , the one who spread lies is you. Israel is the occupier, hamas is the resistance group fighting the genocidal army. Resistance was never perfect and accuntability happen once colonization end not before it. Equating Hamas to israel is disgusting, you are rejecting Palestinians right to armed resistance. One example of your propaganda which you admit is mixing truth with lies and misinformation is that you said hamas use tunnels the lie is that you claim Hamas want to maximize innocent Gazans civilians
Amnesty international show that even Ukraine are breaching international laws

You are the one who avoid my questions and arguments and keep talking about how I am like maga
The comparison is fair. Israel and Russia are the aggressor not Ukraine and Palestinians. No matter how much breach the aggressed does nobody should compare the aggressed to the aggressor. We can deal with those breach when both are free
You just made up a shit ton of stuff and ascribed it to me. What false narrative? I have made one single claim which is clearly true, and you made up everything else including my beliefs and shit I never said. You clearly want to argue about something that I am not even constesting.
Just consider what you are doing for like 20 seconds. Is this who you want to be?
Yes this is who i want to be someone with moral clarity who don't repeat the aggressor propaganda points and both side genocide and colonization unlike scums like you
I am scums...for refusing to let you or anyone else censor a single, clear, mostly uncontested fact then I will happily wear that title.
You clearly have moral clarity 🤣.
You never complained about tankis getting rightfully censored in ukraine community bit. You have double standard and you are repeating all the israeli talking points that allowed them them to commit genocide. You are in post about the propaganda issue crying about your propaganda and lies getting censored.
I have moral clarity because i treat ukranians and palestinians the same
