Yeah, but a political memes sub. Besides, propaganda (whether intentional or not) still works no matter how it's delivered.
You took the meme as illustrating the size and strength of the 2 forces? I think you might be creating context where it doesn't exist.
Propaganda, by definition, is meant to make you feel or believe a narrative. Equivalence of force is a bit of a stretch here, isn't it?
Distortion by omission is still distortion. A political cartoon that shows the conflict as a battle of equals lies by omission whether on purpose or not.
Not really, no. There are many ways to implant false realities in the minds of people, and it's most effective when they don't notice.
Giving the false impression of it being a fair fight makes the genocidal actions of Israel seem justified on the grounds of "Israel has the right to defend itself"
You're not wrong about how propaganda works. Like... at all. I just don't see it here.
