Netanyahu tweets image of James Foley's execution for propaganda
Did Netanyahu go too far in using image of murdered journalist to compare ISIS to Hamas?
After Twitter users responded angrily, accusing the premier of using Foleys image to score propaganda points, the tweet was deleted.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahus use of the image of slain journalist James Foley in comparing ISIS to Hamas on his Twitter feed sparked an angry backlash on Thursday.

Underneath the banner is a photograph showing Foley being held captive by an ISIS terrorist holding a knife, presumably moments before he is beheaded. That photo is attached to another picture of a Palestinian whose body is dragged along by a motorcycle in Gaza.
After a number of Twitter users responded angrily, accusing the premier of using Foleys image to score propaganda points, the tweet was deleted.
An alternate version of the same message only this time with Foleys image replaced by the ISIS logo was tweeted later on Thursday.
