It’s not hard to dupe a world that wants to be duped.

They're duped because they want so badly to believe the very worst about Israel. I guess it helps them justify whatever sick thoughts of theirs need justifying.

It was reported that Hamas executed some PLO partisans when things were going bad in order to keep the PLO from asserting control of Gaza. I wonder if this was true and, if so, how many of these deaths were counted as civilian casualties caused by IDF.

See, my approach would be to turn this completely around. Israel should have apologized early on for killing 11,000 civilians in the first couple of days, with their death toll rising to over 150,000 as the conflict went on. That would leave the Palis completely in the dark. Their response would be to overstate the deaths as much as possible, but their numbers would still be under the IDFs’ numbers. At the “end”, when there might be a reckoning, Israel then says “So, we lied. We were just trying to demoralize them so they wouldn’t fight and be killed. So what? We’re giving a “proportionate response” to Palestinian lies.”

Lincoln waged war directly on civilians and he was viewed as a good guy.
