    I don’t like this framing. I feel like it absolves the West too much of its knowing complicity.

    It’s not “the West” as a collective entity that’s being spoonfed Zionist propaganda, it’s the regular, everyday people living in the West. And the ones feeding it to them are not just the Zionist entity but also - and i would even say primarily - the West’s own media and own institutions. And many people in the West willingly go along with it, they find it comfortable being put on this diet of pure propaganda because it validates their prejudices and their chauvinistic beliefs about themselves. It gives them permission to be racist.
