Palestinians Must Strategize Media Campaign

Abeer Najja, American University of Sharjah | January 8, 2009

Palestinians in Gaza need international support to protect their rights and lives. ++ This support is won through media campaigns, and the Palestinians and Hamas are losing. ++ Hamas's aggressive rhetoric consistently plays into Israel's hand: warning that Gaza would be a "graveyard" for Israeli soldiers and talk of killing Jewish children all support Israel's claimed "security concerns." ++ "Hamas's message should be that the Palestinians want peace, but they also want independence and guarantees of their human rights."

I like this comment! What's this?

This article is no more than a cheap attempt by Mr. Najjar to legitimize Hamas’ terrorism and to play down its threat to Israel. His only problem with Hamas is that it is honest about its intentions. In other words, he wants Hamas to deceive the West and Israel about its true intentions, namely to annihilate the Jewish people and to destroy Israel. He even implicitly applauds Hamas’ gruesome treatment of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. This article is what it is: Brainwashing!
