....daily with anti-Zionist, pro-Hamas, BDS propaganda. In Europe, over 40% believe Jews are doing to the Palestinians what the Nazis did to the Jews 75 years ago. That's all they see 24-7-365. So what else should they believe?

So much for the idiotic claim that the Jews run the media.

When they see UN Watch, for example, it causes cognitive dissonance & this Zionist propaganda just can't possibly be true. They've been lied to for years. Their biggest, best honorable humanitarian cause....all bullshit. It's not surprising in Europe. Their parents and grandparents going back centuries believed in the same nasty shit about Jews & we know where that led. The media is just giving Europeans exactly the kind of red meat they're ravenous for. I suspect it's similar in the land down under but I doubt it's as bad as Europe.
