I think that there is a subtle difference

The propaganda cartoons driven out of hollywood in WWII for example, and during the cold war and even now, portrayed a larger then life image of the villian or enemy, and they were always faced by the virtuous, but human hero who would kill them without thinking, but was always somewhat horrified at some level over the level of violence that they had to resort to in the face of that threat.

But never in a John Wayne movie, or a Arnold movie, or even a Rambo movie did he turn to the camera wink and say "Hey don't forget to grease the young'uns, cause they're a threat and they make a squeeking noise when they shoot em.

You also didn't see a lot of propaganda from the American government that had a message about killing your enemy. "Loose lips sink ships" was one of the most famous propaganda pieces ever created, yet it was a very non violent message.

"Buy war bonds" didn't have the message, so we can buy more bullets to kill those bug eyed crazy japs attached to the bottom, but the message was, support our troops.

Even now in the Hollywood establishment, when they make movies that feature terrorists of an arabian nature, they're careful to hint at justifications, or they're careful to make the villian over the top. Or even in their most sensitive nature, they make the enemy generic and white , look at the terrible movie "Sum of all fears" They radically changed the story to feature white supremists instead of going with the actual villians, a fatally ill terrorist trying to sabatoge the middle east peace plans.

The T.V. show in question, thats made by Hammas is far more disgusting and far darker then any proganda piece made in the west, or even in the Eastern European nations during the cold war. It creates a monstrous enemy, and then advocates basic genocide.

There's no comparison.
