Oh look, a tankie linking a psy-op. What a surprise.

I don't care what a random group says about Palestine when they claim to represent them. I have no way of verifying their integrity, and none of the people I know who have the skills to do so have recommended any to me. So I need to assume anything you link isn't genuine.

I came to my opinion after speaking with Palestinians not an "advocacy group". People who I am able to see, hear, and who's pain is clear in their voices and the tears on their face. People who are resigned to their best option in a man who's betrayed them less than his rival would.

I am autistic. For years the most popular advocates for people like me was Autism Speaks who openly talked about "curing" us. Advocacy groups are often a sham, and I don't trust them. Honestly, neither should you; it says a lot that (if you're sincere) you haven't figured that out.

Can you link me the evidence that led you to confirm it's a psyop? The AAI co-signed the letter, so I assume they're part of the psyop?

Even better, can you link me a pro-Palestinian advocacy group that isn't a psyop?

"They're actively trying to make me reconsider my stance on genocide" = shady psy-op by an evil power that wants to control the world?

It is well known that a number of states sow division in the populace of their enemies to weaken them. Does polarizing hot button issues do that? History says it does.

Does Palestine matter to them? No. Does polarizing the populace of the enemy matter to them? Yes. Are either of the organizations linked above tools of states that would like to harm America? I don't know. Could they, or similar organizations be used that way? Sure.

So every Pro-Palestinian group is a psyop, got it.

Where are you obtaining your information on the genocide?

Sorry, your lack of reading comprehension has no bearing on the facts of what I said.

Which part of the statement sounds like it may be a psyop?

Which pro-Palestinian group do you find most reputable?

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I made no statements one way or the other on whether this organization, or any other Palestinian organization was a psy op. Moreover, I specifically said I don't know. What I did say was that promoting a polarizing topic could sow division in a group, making it a viable option for a psy op.
