This occurred to me while listening to the news. When they exchange people it’s
always hostages for people held in Palestine and prisoners for people held in
Israel. Why is that? Is it just perception or is there a practical difference?
Y'all, this is a rhetorical question meant to serve as a zinger against Israel. OP doesn't want actual answers.
It’s also a good discussion of how propaganda works. I mean, we continually see how Israel lies, now we’re seeing the misinformation campaign about all the “combatants” being released that are actually teenage boys, many of whom were captured for throwing rocks and may face 20 years in prison for it.
To talk about Israels propaganda in today’s social media landscape is propaganda itself.
Pretty much on all channels there’s a between 10:1 and 20:1 relationship between pro Palestinian vs pro Israel comments.
Social media, not western news agencies. The news is highly biased toward Israel even if the people generally aren’t falling for it.
As I said in the other comment, not falling for one sides propaganda doesn’t automatically mean the other side is right. What we have on social media is propaganda for a supposed Palestinian side, but overwhelmingly it’s Hamas’ talking points, which are clearly anti Israel, but lacking in the “pro Palestinian” cause.
