   The notable absence on that list is the number killed by Britain deciding to   
   indulge in "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish   
   people", "following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations".   
      
   The consequential invention of Israel on other people's land has given rise to   
   a monster responsible for the deaths of not just Palestinians, Arabs and   
   Muslims but also Jews, Israelis, Americans and innocent Britons.   
      
   The pro-Israel propaganda effort seeks to justify Israel's evil using the   
   logical fallacy that, "all men are sinners" therefore sin is the norm,   
   entirely acceptable and not to be criticised.   
      
   Note how the post's subject title directly references the offences Israel is   
   accused of indulging in; mass murder, theft of land, being built upon stolen   
   land. You are supposed to believe the logical fallacy that, because Britain   
   did that it's acceptable    
   and legitimate for Israel to do the same. It is intended to have you foolishly   
   define yourself as a hypocrite if you disagree with Israel's actions.   
      
   Over the last few years this newsgroup has received ten thousand or so posts   
   pushing the narrative that Israel's evil is acceptable, that her killing,   
   murder and slaughter of innocent people is no worse than others have indulged   
   in, while attacking those    
   who dare argue or stand against that. It is intended to silence such   
   criticism, perspective and debate.   
      
   That this barren group alone has come under such a sustained barrage shows how   
   determined the pro-Israel, pro-Zionist, propaganda machine is, and how widely   
   it extends.   
      
   Israel's weaponisation of "anti-Semitism", accusations of being a Nazi or   
   pro-terrorist, have extended to everyone critical of Israel, opposed to   
   Israel's slaughter of innocent people. There are precious few opposed to   
   Israel's evil and murder who have    
   not been labelled ant0-Semitic or a Nazi. It is an inevitable fate, it has   
   become a badge of honour.   
      
   The propaganda machine nearly undid itself over Eurovision but survived that,   
   ironically defining refusal to accept unevidenced support for Israel as   
   anti-Semitism.   
      
   It's classic "with us or against us".
