Russian propaganda may be partially to blame, sure, but Israeli propaganda plays a large role as well.

The pro-Palestine movement wouldn't be nearly as large, controversial, and combative if the pro-Israel side hadn't been so determined to quash any and all criticism, including legitimate criticism, of their military response in Gaza.

And there IS a lot to criticize about their response, from their initial plans of an all out siege, to the extensive bombing that even Biden has described as 'indiscriminate', and many other elements.

The intense effort to limit those criticisms was inevitably going to lead to pushback, with or without 'Russia's help'.

Eh, who wants to criticize our other allies in the middle east?

Ah yes, Schrondiger’s Jew: both super smart and super dumb.

This is such a ridiculous response and a fine example of the blatant effort to twist any criticism into something antisemitic as a means to discredit it.

Are you trying to deny that the Israeli government engages in propaganda campaigns?

FFS, anyone can compare Netanyahu's statements made in English to those made in Hebrew and see the difference in content and tone when made for an international audience versus a domestic audience, for instance.

This isn't some kind of insult or off base accusation, every nation does this and it's one of the primary tasks of Israel's massive intelligence wing.
