Pointing out that that tweet is propaganda is in no way contingent on the truth of the claim made or on believing that Hamas have carried out other attrocities. The style, focus and intent of the tweet is clear propaganda. CLEAR propaganda. Perhaps misunderstanding that propaganda is necessarily un-truthful is what makes people more susceptible to progaganda? "This doesn't seem to be definitely factually false, therefore it isn't propaganda". Hmm.
I stand by the opinion that its (extremely unsubtle) war propaganda, of the type that is used to justify genocide. Of - in fact - the very same sort that was used in the lead up to WW2. All too familiar, which is a VERY odd situation.
Screeching "holocaust deniers!!!" is just some Godwin lark that I'm not really inclined to pay any attention to at all. It is literally the prototypical strawman.
