Israel Losing the PR War

Posted by Mitch45 on Fri Jul 25 09:41:08 2014

fiogf49gjkf0d
Unfortunately, Israel seems to be losing the PR war against Hamas. Everyone knows that Hamas can't win militarily, so it is waging this war to make Israel look as bad as possible and face international rage and isolation.

Israel has one hand tied behind its back as it is, because much of the world hates Jews and will often side with anyone opposing them, even murderers like Hamas. So it will almost never get a fair shake in most media, especially in Europe.

In my personal opinion, Israel needs to do a better job in documenting proof that sites being attacked are being used by Hamas to store missiles or as bunkers. Israel also needs to provide better proof that it has warned "civilian" Gaza residents to leave the area and that Hamas is preventing them from doing so. While those may not be enough to sway public opinion and establish that Hamas is at fault for the vast majority of the civilian deaths, it would be better than what they are doing now. Proving that a site was being used for war purposes AFTER an attack is not good enough. Hamas is great at PR and suckering in a gullible world media hungry for bloody stories.

As for the West Bank riots, nothing new. As for attacks in Europe on Jews, I would say (1) those attacks are conducted by Muslims thugs, not by the governments of the host countries (like Krystallnacht was) and (2) Jews should not be living in Europe anyway.

Israel has a facebook feed that shows just about every instance. There's a lot of other groups too. The issue is, does anyone really want to be bothered with it?
Situation being, the aweful local paper prints 3 really good pieces about the problem and it's context. 3 days later a letter to the editor gets printed from "[your city here] peace federation" with the standard talking points, that doesn't seem to have any basis in reality or even the same foundation as all of those articles. The letter, probably from someone who doesn't read the paper(usually the case), comes from a parallel dimension with the usual code roads, and that's it. Classic hit and run of randomness.

Things get documented, it's widely available, but in todays busy schedule, who wants to see a bunch of blond "arab" kids waiting for the director to say action when we can just look at 5 year old reused footage and get "upset".

My personal view is, they picked the wrong time to do their whining fundraiser - what I want to call all Hamas escalations. Watching the entire arab spring still going on from Libya, through Egypt, and up to Iraq and even Turkey, just whining about leaflets and blowing up tunnels in Israel and ignoring the rest is an end of discussion red flag. Plain and simple.

I think you're completely missing the point... Israel has to prove to the palestinians NOT the world that they're trying to help them out, looking for their best interests, however with blockades in place, the wall, and new settlements in the west bank that many saw as payback for Abbas blindsiding Israel last year with the UN recognition. I feel terrible for anyone in the PR department in Israel, thats a brutal job.

The blockade forces Palestinians in Gaza to rely on Hamas, and you get a giant version basically of Stockholm Syndrome where because Israel isn't helping, they (palestinians) have to rely on Hamas. So it creates a cycle that wont ever end until one side concedes. As much as Israel would hate it, its in their best interests to stop the new settlements and open the borders, then let Hamas make the first error. Cause now Israel puts the ball in the PA and Hamas hands, and lets see if they can do something with it, because if they dont then Israel can say to the world "SEE!?"

I think its in Israel's best interests to start having an open ear to the UN. They shove off the UN way too easily, especially when criticism has been legitimate. The only reason they haven't suffered any Sanctions is due to the US. However for Israel to be far more respected in the international community it should at least SOUND like its trying to respect the UN.

The UN has been found to be permitting the use of its facilities for the storage of terrorist weapons. They only withdrew the permission when they were caught, and they ensured that their clients got all their weapons back. They are an accessory to war crimes, and their leaders deserve to be indicted to stand trial in Jerusalem.

Saying Jews should be banned from a place: Antisemitic.
Saying Jews should not ban others from a place: Not antisemitic.
Saying Jews should not commit genocide: Definitely not antisemitic.

You know, you're really quite amusing. It's entertaining to watch you try to create "facts" to fit your warped views, when anyone with an open mind and a modicum of intelligence can see what you're doing.

Having lived in Israel for the past twelve years, I can tell you with absolute confidence that other than the lunatic fringe (consisting of over 90% populace), ALL Israelis would be willing to give land for true peace - however painful they'd find giving up such land. The reason most Israelis oppose giving up such land is because of what's happened each time they've done so - the land was used as a staging ground for further attacks on Israel. Like they say, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me - we're not going to make the same mistake again.

So, I've answered your false allegations about Israel - but you have not, and can not - answer my points about Hamas, since there is no answer to facts.

I'm proud of my and my son's ser vice in the IDF - an army that while not perfect, goes above and beyond to maintain its morals.

A small correction - the lunatic fringe referenced above consists of less than 10% of the population. The "over 90%" referenced is the populace that would agree to give up land for true peace.

It's a pity that open-minded intelligent people are in such short supply on OTChat, then. We're stuck with an overabundance of people like you, declaring that you have absolutely no evidence that I'm wrong but you know I must be because I disagreed with you and the idea that you might be wrong is unthinkable.

Having lived in Israel for the past twelve years, I can tell you with absolute confidence that other than the lunatic fringe (consisting of over 90% populace), ALL Israelis would be willing to give land for true peace - however painful they'd find giving up such land.

I didn't say anything about Israelis. I said that Israel, as in the government thereof, is deliberately targeting civilians. You don't need to tell me what individual Israelis believe— they're more than capable of telling me themselves.

The reason most Israelis oppose giving up such land is because of what's happened each time they've done so - the land was used as a staging ground for further attacks on Israel.

Oh please. Israel has never made any meaningful gestures towards peace, at least not within the last few decades. On the other hand, Israel has a long and varied history of "defending" itself by attacking first and then pointing to its victim's inevitable retaliation as proof that it posed a threat to them. See: Gaza for the most recent example.

So, I've answered your false allegations about Israel...

No you haven't. You've just asserted that they're false and spewed a bunch of gibberish.

...but you have not, and can not answer my points about Hamas, since there is no answer to facts.

You haven't made any points about Hamas.

I'm proud of my and my son's ser vice in the IDF - an army that while not perfect, goes above and beyond to maintain its morals.

Yeah, so does every army. You know, I'm pretty sure America's military trains its soldiers to disobey illegal orders. Of course, they make sure the soldiers know they're not actually supposed to disobey illegal orders— America's military gives illegal orders all the time and any soldier who points out they're illegal will be locked up for insubordination.

Although I'm glad that you're just as proud of your soldier son as the Palestinians are of theirs.

Fair point. "We have to get rid of Hamas or they might do to us what we're constantly doing to them!"

Israel started the war. Sure, Hamas is evil but Israel attacked them so it's hardly in a position to claim the moral high ground here.

Your anti-Israeli bias is obvious

Which is why you can't link to a single post I made expressing it.

I guess you're using the standard right-wing approach that if you tell a lie often enough it'll become true.
