This volume offers a detailed description of how media propaganda shapes public perception in conflict zones, drawing on key communication theories like framing and agenda-setting. It analyzes disinformation campaigns by Hamas and Israel, showing how psychological warfare plays out on social media platforms. The book delves into polarization and radicalization, emphasizing social media’s role in exacerbating these processes, and exploring how individuals, especially youths, are radicalized online through gradual stages of desensitization. This discussion is expanded through an analysis of digital activism and the role of social media in facilitating global protest movements.
