    "body_text": "Sungkyunkwan University sociologist Tay Jeong analyzed country-level X trending data from the early Gaza war through a victim-villain-hero framework. Across 62 countries, pro-Palestinian trends emphasized victimhood broadly, with hero language more prominent in Arab countries; pro-Israel trends centered more heavily on villain framing and rarely used the hero role. The study examines the composition of trending slogans, not the views of every user or population, and its categories remain an interpretive model of public rhetoric.",
