      I mean, that guy is a real literal terrorist. Who was he doing terrorism on behalf of? Please don’t probe that too deeply.

      Just, you know… keep this in mind.

      But the message is that we should be stereotyping the guy on the left because he’s more dangerous, and not the lady on the right.

      And that’s wrong.

        He is more dangerous, if you’re a Christian, Alawite, Shia or Druze. Just not if you’re an Israeli.

          I feel like we are having a conversation so I won’t just ignore, but I don’t understand at all what you mean by this.

                This is a perfect example of how the empire disguises spies, commits terrorist acts with them, launches a racist propaganda campaign against a people using their spy as example, and then it turns out to be their own guy.

                This is not a stereotype. It’s literally the guy.

                  I see it now, although still I don’t think gachaing the US with those in on it topic is worth putting this imagery on the internet

                    I agree. The text doesnt go much into him being a spy or an asset. It just sounds like its making a shitty point with a racist premise, like “look how absurd it is that this long bearded arab guy isnt considered a terrorist but this white blond lady is a terrorist, the usa must have lost touch with reality”. I know theres a point there about silencing reporting on gaza, but its a bit too discrete, and the post sounds like reactionary ramblings. I think this probably wasnt intentional by whoever made this post.
