    You’d think that 2 of the richest countries in the world would be able to afford a propaganda campaign better than that. Is the shittiness on purpose?

      You write that like you think that’s the only propaganda they’re doing. And like getting propaganda made by free from your citizens is something they’d dislike.

    surprised pro Palestinian officials in Palestine haven’t run a counter propaganda posters with all their dead children, put a name date of birth, photo alive, photo of corpse. unsavoury yeah but serves the same purpose of the posters here, bait for people to tear down and for people to record to post online and project as lesser beings

      Palestinians generally don’t have the money to run propaganda in the US and even if they did, the United States would censor them if it got to the point of being effective

        Well maybe we should get our collectivist asses out there and do it for them. Start with similar posters but with the list of dead children’s names. Put them right next to these photos.

      Non-Americans usually don’t have a frame of reference for just how fascist it really is there. I visited once and it blew my fucking mind just how bad it is. You can’t look in a random direction without either seeing, feeling, or hearing just how out of control things have gotten there.

      And that’s just the stuff that’s visible. When you include stuff that you can’t see (like the systematic stuff) it’s like “wow this is nazi germany”

      Saw it at a protest over here. They printed the names out on a big paper. It was like 50 or 60 meters long, full of names.

    I saw one done in the same style and format but for a dog. Can’t tell if it’s a coincidence or someone doing satire.

    Haven’t seen a single one in my country, people only really poster in designated spots and rarely about international affairs. So that’s nice I guess.

    I am not sure what these are supposed to accomplish honestly. Not like you are going to find them missing in your neighborhood and I can’t imagine anyone is suddenly going all in on genocide after seeing one if they weren’t already.

    I assume they just exist as bait for people to tear down, and then subsequently get filmed/doxxed as an “antisemite”.

      No one calls their genocide a genocide. The intent here is to get people with little knowledge of the situation to think in terms of “those evil brown people kidnapped all these innocent white folks, even kids!” Obviously it’s good to try and rescue kidnapping victims, right?

    Last weekend I saw a whole caravan of SUVs with gigantic Israel and US flags stuck out the windows and blown up kidnapped signs with pictures of kids taped on every door. Most ridiculous shit I’ve seen since 2003. I flipped one off as I drove by in the other direction and he immediately tried to do U-turn in his piece of shit Tesla and ended up getting stuck in the turn lane waiting for traffic.

    Little did he know I was going to head the same direction he was going but had to do a U-turn myself, and I ended up going by him just moments after he was finally able to go through the light. He saw me going the opposite direction again and just pulled off to the side of the road and sat there.

    I assume he was raging and calling for backup but who knows. It actually creeped me out because now I know just how quickly this country will go apeshit on itself with very little to trigger it…imagine when there’s a big trigger.

    I do not see what is worrying with this poster in the context of terrorism since it talk about kidnapping and not killing. In fact, Israel should be following the Hamas decision to detain people instead of the indiscriminated terrorist attacks against everyone in West Gaza to kill the Hamas “terrorists”. Israel and the Western European diaspora justified terrorist attacks against civilians on the claim that terrorists are among the crowd of civilians and terrorist attacks against civilian building on the claim that civilian buildings are terrorist building in disguise, even as they claim that terrorist attacks against civilians are not acceptable regardless of the circumstance. Can Israel use the Hamas approach to detain people like what the police would do? Prior warning to the Palestinians of terrorist attacks is not an excuse for terrorism especially when many Palestinains could not flee in time and those who could flee would loss their daily necessities of life.
