This concept of "The most propagandised nation on earth" is attested by a number of commentators I respect and seems plausible.

Really? So you don't believe they're the chosen people?

Don't be silly Der, 'chosen' by whom? I am not an expert on Torah etc. but believe these people are bat-shit crazy religious fanatics blindly following the scriptures written 3 odd millenia ago. How did they get there? Hasbara .. propaganda. Hence the Amalek impulses. Just me.
