I know nothing should surprise me with these fucking people at this point, but my mouth still dropped open when I read that.

    Israel had invested billions and continues to invest record numbers every year into propaganda and desinformation, in particular revisionism of its own history. And countries like the US and Germany are helping them with it.

    For instance in some places in Germany it was decided to make it mandatory for teachers to use a leaflet called “Mythos Nakba” - Nakba myth, which is claiming the ethnic cleansing of around 750.000 Palestinians before and during the formation of Israel in 1948 to be a “myth”. Of course this leaflet comes from an Israeli propaganda organization, with connections to the government funded “Zentralrat der Juden” - central council of Jews. The “Zentralrat” used to be a representation of Jews in Germany but has been usurped into a key organization of Israeli propaganda in Germany over the past decades, while continuing to claim to represent the mainstream of Jews in Germany.

    This is particularly insane in Germany, where denial of the Holocaust is a common trope of the fascists too.
