The heart is for love and the brain is for thought. Please don't mix them up.
These days I often see that many people are definitely using both organs interchangeably.
Thanks to technology we now have the ability to watch wars in real time. Prior to the war in Vietnam, we were not privy to see and hear exactly how wars played out. We didn't get to see people shot at close range, hear their cries or watch body parts flying into the air after a bomb exploded. As with all tools, technology can be used for good or bad depending on the people using them.
It's very easy to edit videos or photoshop photographs nowadays. In the simplest case one only needs to remove parts of a video to destroy any important context and thusly prove a lie.
We've seen that time and again in Pallywood. That's the Palestinian version of Hollywood whereby they have actors pretending to be injured or dead and blaming the IDF for their fake injuries or deaths. Of course there are always professional photographers at the scene of the crime (how opportune!). They were part of the Pallywood film crew. The PA spends millions of dollars on this. They pay the actors, the film crew, they have expert makeup artists (complete with gallons of fake blood and bandages), etc. They do this because it works.
And why does it work? Because so many of us, are using our hearts to evaluate the facts instead of using our brains. All it takes is a photo of an Arab child lying in a pool of (fake) blood with a (fake) IDF soldier standing over him in full military gear. Of course images like these are designed to pull at our heart strings. Evil people figured this out hundreds of years ago. But now with the advancement of technology and the high speed internet, the Pallywood style news fills the main stream news media faster than a comet.
Along with this are the PR firms and expert advisors to leaders all over the world. They can take a tired, broken, empty fool and make him out to be a courageous leader. They have been doing this with President Biden for a while now. While many of us haven't been fooled, many are and continue to be.
PA leaders like the late Arafat (may his name be forgotten) or their current leader Abbas, are made out to be strong, heroic military leaders with limitless courage. After all, they are forced to stand up to the mighty nazi like IDF with tanks while their forces (often young children) are using only rocks to fend off the bad guys.
Do you remember when the terrorist leader Arafat was invited to speak at the UN? He wore his standard (fake) army uniform complete with a gun holster. I think they made him remove his gun. He accused Israel of harvesting organs from captured arabs and a myriad of other insane lies. He begged the world for money which he mostly pocketed and he pleaded with his Muslim brothers to continue to attack the Jewish state at all costs (even when it meant certain death to young, ignorant, Arab youths). And most of the world applauded him. Again when he finally died, almost every world leader attended his funeral and hailed him as a virtuous leader seeking justice for his people and peace (oy vey!).
Images from many decades prior, of fedayeen (Arab militias) are portrayed as brave soldiers despite them being cowards, shooting innocent Israelis citizens from a distance while the Israelis are working on their fields.
