It’s not fun interacting with them when they often want to engage in ad hominems. This is why I have no interest in the tankie triad.

You don’t see how they could because you don’t understand propaganda. By promoting the fictional stories, including the false accounts of rape and the baby in the oven and other blatantly false stories they can fall back on the ones that did happen, but the false stories will stick in people’s minds. How long has the old ‘human shields’ chestnut been used to excuse civlian deaths in hospitals and homes of Palestians? How many times has Israel blamed someone else when they shoot into crowds trying to get food? The lies stuck with the general population as long as they are able to get out first as kong as there is one true case that ends up proving the lies could possibly be plausible.
People remember what they want to remember, including made up exaggerations intended to dehumanize others of things that actually happened.
Do you think there is Palestinian propaganda as well?
Yes, because I’m not a fucking idiot. Everyone does propaganda, and some are worse than others because they dehumanize instead of shining a light on something and some are more effective than others.
That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t point out these instances of it being used and why it is harmful in the context being discussed.
Do you think you’ve been misled by any propaganda?
Of course I have fallen for at least some propaganda at various points in time, because I’m not a fucking idiot and realize that it works.
What is your end goal here?
Since I think you have fallen for some of it. Can you go into detail about the ‘Israel shooting into crowds trying to get food’?
