In order for deception to be easily assimilated by a population, there must be a foundation of propaganda, which is defined as organized dissemination of information, allegations, etc, to assist or damage the cause of a government, movement, a people group, etc.
Every population, that has ushered in a tyrant before they were overtaken, had their hearts and minds prepared to welcome the unwelcome.
The prepped did the propping, of dictators and martinets.
The German people were prepped for Hitler's entrance, with hearts already grounded in hate for the Jews. True they still had volition, but the constant, yet subtle, passing comment in the marketplace, at the newsstand, at the dinner table...always seemed to blame the Jews for something, unjustly. And every time they allowed the accusation to pass uncontested...each stone was laid for a seared and fiendish foundation.
This tragic preparation is still effective and at work today. Anti-Semitism was a virulent disease, left untreated in Europe, for decades. And with the rise of anti-Semitism being reported more recently, it's no wonder that the ghouls of Gaza are able to beguile millions with ease.
Case in point...recently, a photo allegedly showing an Israeli soldier standing on the chest of a small 'Palestinian' girl while pointing his automatic rifle at her face, went viral on social networks like Facebook. Hundreds of thousands of web-surfers saw the picture and with disgust, vocally lashed out at Israel over what they dubbed as 'inhumane treatment of even the most innocent of 'Palestinian' Arabs'.
There was only one problem: The pic was a FAKE.
The 'soldier' in the photo was not Israeli (he was wearing boots and a coat that are not donned by IDF soldiers), and he was holding a Kalashnikov rifle of the type used by Arab armies, NOT an M16 or M4 rifle, which are used by IDF soldiers.
When the truth came out, few cared. Why? Because the viewers already believed evil of the Israelis and this was just more evidence to confirm their deeply-held hate for the Jew.
Another victory for the vile...and another step toward another Shoah?
Chas v'shalom! (God forbid!)
Shalom through strength...
