THE release this week of a video of three Israeli hostages by the al Qassem Brigades — the self-styled military command of Hamas — has sharpened the role of propaganda and information in the worsening Gaza conflict

- Robert Fox

The information war is more vicious than ever

One of the hostages denounces prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, and his office immediately responded by denouncing the underhand information tactics of Hamas.

Propaganda in war “diminishes the love of truth,” wrote Samuel Johnson in 1758, as the Seven Years War, first of modern global conflicts, was getting under way.
