Ha ha, it's hilarious when the other side thinks you eat babies or something. Not that Zouichi was unfamiliar with the idea of propaganda. Human leaders had relied heavily upon it throughout history to control their subjects. And expansionism? Also a bit of a recurring theme. In fact, it was by appealing to the human need to be better than everyone else -- the willingness to believe they were entitled to subjugate those that were 'lesser' -- that had led to some of the darkest periods of human history.

"What promises are we talking about? He made it sound more like it was the Eldar who betrayed the humans, and not the other way around."
