Pars Today- Two social activists living in the US named "Nora Lester Murad" and "Maryam Aswad" illustrated comics which show how to justify the Palestinian genocide in 14 steps.
The dry humor comics of "Nora Lester Murad" and "Maryam Aswad" show how the Zionists and their supporters justify the genocide of Palestinians in the Occupied Territories.
Step 1:
Erase history. Bury any fair and accurate analysis of how today’s violence came to be.
Step 2:
Remove all context. Always depict Palestinians as the aggressors. Blame Palestinians for their own oppression.
Step 3:
Monopolize the media. Discredit Palestinians and normalize their exclusion – including by threatening, firing, or even killing them.
Step 4:
Dehumanize Palestinians. Use words that play into pre-existing anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, and anti-Muslim stereotypes.
Step 5:
Misinform the public with boldface lies.
Step 6:
Weaponize anti-Semitism. Accuse any Palestinian who tries to tell their story of hating Jews.
Step 7:
Co-opt liberal and antiracist language so you appear to be the good guys.
Step 8:
Criminalize liberation activities. Punish all Palestinian efforts to claim their rights, including by non-violent means.
Step 9:
Repeat sensational Israeli claims without investigating in order to elevate emotion over rationality.
Step 10:
Market trauma. Remind Jews of horrible things that have happened in the past so they’ll be scared of peace with Palestinians.
Step 11:
Make token gestures to trick people into thinking there is progress towards respect and equality while you protect the status quo.
Step 12:
Throughout it all, pretend you are being balanced and fair.
Step 13:
Manipulate people into choosing sides as if well-being is mutually exclusive. Hide the fact that a just, political solution will uplift everyone’s rights, security, and dignity, and it offers the only sustainable future.
And step Fourteen: Rinse and repeat.
