You know what the difference is between a million and a billion? Roughly a billion.
Likewise, do you know what the difference in power between the Hamas terrorists, let alone the innocent victims in Palestine, and one of the most advanced militaries in the world? Roughly one of the most advanced militaries in the world.
TL;DR: To show this as two evenly matched brawlers with the exact same equipment isn't just an oversimplification. It's a gross distortion of reality bordering on gaslighting.
It should also have the Hama's terrorist hiding behind the Palestine character, laughing and enjoying the situation. And Iran in the background with popcorn like the USA
Palestine is getting beat up from both sides.
I generally agree with you here, but you know this is a meme in a meme sub, right?
Yeah, but a political memes sub. Besides, propaganda (whether intentional or not) still works no matter how it's delivered.
You took the meme as illustrating the size and strength of the 2 forces? I think you might be creating context where it doesn't exist.
Propaganda, by definition, is meant to make you feel or believe a narrative. Equivalence of force is a bit of a stretch here, isn't it?

Distortion by omission is still distortion. A political cartoon that shows the conflict as a battle of equals lies by omission whether on purpose or not.

Not really, no. There are many ways to implant false realities in the minds of people, and it's most effective when they don't notice.
Giving the false impression of it being a fair fight makes the genocidal actions of Israel seem justified on the grounds of "Israel has the right to defend itself"
You're not wrong about how propaganda works. Like... at all. I just don't see it here.
Eh it is a bipartisan fuck you. :( Can we vote for any candidates that don't support the apartheid Israeli government?
Not many, no.
'Scuse me, the Biden admin is putting out the same vibe. Our politics suck.
Strange to label the “no ceasefire” crowd MAGA considering the nearly overwhelming support from democrats in charge
WTF are you talking about? Biden is the one preventing a ceasefire. If trump were in office he'd likely have cut aid to Israel once he realized he couldn't work in a grift of his own.
Has Palestine considered just winning the war? What losers.
