One Possible Explanation Why It's Been So Hard To Propagandize The Public On Gaza
Despite the recent UN vote on Gaza, the people's opinion of Israel is not expected to rise anytime soon and the push to consolidate conservatives has been less-than beneficial.
As a result, Zionists are, as Caitlin Johnstone puts it, are "freaking out:"
Why hasn't the propaganda worked? There's a three-word response that explain: "Muslims aren't Nazis."
Historically, Jewish people have garnered much-deserved sympathy for what happened during the rise of Nazi Germany. The concentration camps, the torture, the deaths...if any group had a reason to demonize Nazis, it was Jewish people (and it would be foolish to infer that other groups and/or nations didn't suffer from either being occupied or at war with Nazi Germany so let's keep this in mind as well).
The thing is, Muslims did not preform a Holocaust on the Jewish People in Europe. Palestinians did not round up Israelis and put them into concentration camps. Neither did Iranians, the Lebanese nor the Syrians. That was Nazi Germany.
Trying to transfer the genuine, earned sympathy from what Nazi Germany did over to an entire religion that had very, very little to do with what went on in Europe during World War II has been concept decades in the making, but the un-indoctrinated will never be able to able to accept this; you'd have to be exposed to propaganda 24/7 from childhood to give it serious attention.
And all the money, resources and time spent trying to convince people who think critically otherwise has proven to be ultimately futile.
Remember: Judaism and Islam have much in common. What we're seeing here goes beyond religious disagreements.
