Propaganda can be a tool, a technique, a process and yes, a weapon. It’s used by everyone. Governments, political movements, corporations, media, religions, advocacy groups, and individuals. The US uses it. Canada uses it. The UK and Australia use it. Businesses use it. Private citizens use it.

If using propaganda disqualifies someone as an ally, then the US has never was an ally to anyone and had an ally and no country has ever been a friend to another. As long as humans have tried to influence opinions, propaganda has existed. That’s just reality.

By that standard, even internal political campaigning would count as hostile action. Which is obviously absurd.

For example: Elon Musk openly encourages Europeans to vote for extremists and attacks moderate political solutions. He’s far from the only American doing this. So hearing accusations of “foreign propaganda” coming from the US is, frankly, ironic.

What’s really interesting in the current situation is this:

People are suddenly calling influence from the UK, Canada, and Australia “propaganda” countries that have admired the US for decades, adopted large parts of US culture, and literally fought, bled, and died alongside Americans when the US asked for help.

At the same time, many of those same people downplay or ignore propaganda from China and Russia countries whose explicit goal is to weaken the US and reshape it into something more like themselves.

If I were China or Russia, my primary objective would be simple: Use propaganda to divide Americans. Help elect the most incompetent and corrupt leadership possible. Convince people that longtime allies are enemies. Wrap it all in slogans about “making the country great again”.

You are being played but you have no idea by who.

you answered my question in the first sentence, the rest is your own framing and extrapolation (propaganda 😉 )

Yeah like all he had to do was say "yes"

Reality is always more complicated than one sentence or word. I tend to explain my positions and do not let others make my positions up.

Is a gun a weapon?

And none of which is attack on US 1st amendment like i wrote in my original replay.

The subject of the OP is an Israeli citizen making his case (propaganda) as to why the US First Amendment needs to be "limited in order to protect it"

Americans would be rightly justified in perceiving this propaganda as an "attack" or "assault" on the First Amendment

If you think that individual talking on TV is attack or assault than you have WAY bigger problems than you think you have.

Israel never came, helped, or bled for the United States. Australia certainly did, they sent troops to assist us with the First and Second World Wars, and in recent times the Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War, Afghanistan, and Iraq. But all Israel has ever done is attack the USS Liberty. Don’t you fucking dare compare those goddamned scheming yids in Israel to our actual greatest ally, Australia.

Regardless, Aussies should fuck right off if they want to interfere with free speech.

Just the ones in charge, along with the people in charge of most countries.

The israelis that don't think like this would remain loyal to the Israelis who do think like this rather than forming an allegiance with any of the goyim.

USA will be sacrificed for Israel

No! You are self-immolating by accepting Islam and being illegal in your own lands. You have already decided to kill yourselves. Don't blame Israel for this. Your problem is not Israel, your problem is INTERNAL.

🤣 don’t accuse me of being Muslim. The only thing I’m guilty of is having 2 eyes, 2 ears and 1 brain.

I didn't accuse you of being Muslim. I only accused you of being STUPID. The entire American people, especially the right wing, are acting stupidly by maximizing Israel and forgetting about Qatar, and all the atrocities that Islam is committing on AMERICAN SOIL in collusion with the DEMOCRATS.

The biggest enemies of the US are the Muslim Brotherhood and the American people themselves, not Israel.

The Jews that voluntarily leave from Palestine now will be spared, the ones who stay will be treated with “an eye for an eye”

The fact that you're attacking Israel and not THAT SPECIFIC SON OF A BITCH already dilutes your fight. Your enemies are the AGENTS, not faceless entities. That kind of thinking is STUPID!

It’s like when people blame Israel’s evil on Netanyahu. He’s not the one that invented Jewish supremacy. Moses did!

You are clearly an anti-Semite. I really hope the Muslim Brotherhood screws over your country, and then you'll see who the enemy is. But it will be too late.
