    Yes - just last week I was putting up missing posters in Iran for kids abducted in Iowa. I figure next month I can put up missing posters in Kenya for kids taken in Mexico.

    So here is why you are wrong calling it "propaganda". "Propaganda" implies that there is something misleading going on. This is not the case. Everyone knows these people are not in the US - they are in Gaza (and/or dead). But it is true, they have been abducted (or killed).

    What Hamas does (spreading lies that Israel bombed a hospital and killed 500 people when it was an Islamist missile that hit the parking lot next to the hospital) is "propaganda", because it is untrue, and misleading.

    These posters are activism, not "propaganda". They are hung up to create awareness of the plight of these abducted civilians, not to get people to look for them on the NY subway.

    knock yourself out.

    are the protests in the US, UK, and elsewhere also propaganda?

    You have asked and I have answered some variation of this question at least 3-4 times.

    I am not sure if you are obtuse or suffered a blunt head brain injury and have difficulty remembering.

    Takes away from finding missing children here in the US. Everyone already knows children were kidnapped and being held hostage in Gaza, Not NYC. These posters are only meant to justify collateral damage from Israel's invasion. It's 100% political.

    He drank the Kool-Aid decades ago. Trying to get @basso to see the flaws in his logic is like trying to teach a fish to speak French.

    https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1829092/Erdogan-Turkey-Israel-war-Gaza

    Erdogan threatens to declare war on Israel and send military to Gaza in chilling warning
    The Turkish president suggested in a speech at a pro-Palestine rally this afternoon that Turkey can "come at any night unexpectedly".

    This has more weight to it than Iran's threats. Iran is a pariah state. Turkey is an important vanguard to Russia.
    BUT
    I suspect this is 100% for domestic audiences and there are no intentions for the Turks to follow through. But Israel is treating it serious enough and has expelled Turkish diplomats.
