Another thing I was hoping to get to with the propaganda piece was the manipuation of Western ignorance of Arabic & Hebrew. Many videos have fake translations of Arabic, & plenty of conspiracies cite "proof" from news in Hebrew.
One piece that's been misread is this Mako interview with people involved in aerial response at Re'im. IDF discuss the less-than-100% guarantee that they weren't shooting at Israelis--which was *completely* distorted to fuel conspiracy. /x

Anyway, I'll still finish a more abstracted, general-principles piece on how to defend against many forms of propaganda made even more easy to pass off as good journalism / solid intel in our digital day and age... but good grief, is it ever difficult to stay ahead of each whirlwind as it arises!
