Ever seen posts or news articles that seem designed to tug at your heart strings while simultaneously coercing you into hating the apparent perpetrators? That is atrocity propaganda in action.
Good piece. Thank you! Like many, I was thrown off track by the "beheading" claim. Whether true or not, it really made no difference to the efficacy of the propaganda's message: "Hamas are animals." Large swaths of print and air were devoted, not to the trope's veracity, but to the moral equivalence of 'babies beheaded' vs. 'babies slaughtered.' Evil lurks.
