the most depraved propaganda line that keeps being regurgitated, including just now in a Reuters piece on the ICC prosecuting the leaders of Hamas, is "October 7 was the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust".
As Mearsheimer explains in detail, this is actual Holocaust revisionism and genocide denialism, specifically the ethnic cleansing, genocide and occupation of Palestinians by Israel. Anyone who uses this disgusting propaganda line is intentionally reversing the role of the genocidal occupier and the people being genocided and occupied by them.
Not only does it minimize the Holocaust to grotesque absurd proportions as Mearsheimer notes, it is done to justify the ongoing genocide, mass murder, torture and rape of Palestinian babies, children and others, while denying the legal and moral right of Palestinians to resist it. It is the most grotesque propaganda that Zionists began after October 7, even saying "Hamas are worse than the Nazis" like Bari Weiss did on MSNBC and Netanyahu has done by saying Hitler did not want to do the Holocaust but Palestinians forced him to do it (see this thread: ). And it has now become totally mainstreamed, with Genocide Joe Biden and the entire Western media and political class saying it over and over again. They're all depraved genocidal scum.
Mearsheimer:
"I have a rather narrow definition of what a genocide is and I don't think there are many cases that qualify as a genocide. The Holocaust certainly does. Now what Hamas did doesn't even come close to what happened to European Jewry between 1939 1945. What Hamas did pales in comparison, it's hard to believe anybody would make that argument. There's just no parallel at all.
What is the root cause of October 7? Once you start talking about the root causes you end up talking about how Israel was created, and that means telling a story that is not pretty about how the Zionists conquered Palestine. It means talking about the occupation.
It's not like Hamas attacked on October 7th because there were just a bunch of anti-Semites who hated Jews and wanted to kill Jews. This is not Nazi Germany. This is directly related to the occupation and to what was going on inside of Gaza, and it's not in Israel's interest or the Lobby's interest to have an open discourse about what the Israelis have been doing to the Palestinians since I would say roughly 1903 when the second aliyah came what was then Palestine.
It's better from the Lobby's point of view if most Americans think that American support of Israel is just done for all the right moral and strategic reasons."

also it treats the 1200 figure as a sacred totem that must be worshipped by everyone, with Genocide Joe recently saying "1200 innocent Jewish lives taken". That's pure propaganda. It does not detract the armed forces nor the many killed by Israel itself:

another crucial point and grotesque irony about that depraved propaganda line that reverses the role of those committing genocide and those who are being genocided, as noted by Norman Finkelstein.
It weaponizes the Holocaust to launder themselves, while it is actually the Palestinians who are in the position of the Jews during the Holocaust and the Zionists who are in the position of the Nazis.
By that standard, every single day since October 7, especially in the first weeks, was the deadliest day for an oppressed, occupied, systematically genocided group since the Holocaust, and it was done by Zionists.
