And you think Israel has any chance in a PR war? As I said, look at Qana and the total lack of facts on the ground. Everyone is willing to jump first and only later will the facts be examined but it'll be too late by then. Same thing happened with the fake report of a massacre at Jennin and on and on. There is no winning a media war when the media is so totally against Israel.
When I said they have done it your way, they have lined up forces and asked the world to stop the attacks and the world doesn't care. They have asked the Lebanese, Palestinians, Egyptians, etc. if they would stand for this and the answer is always the same; they would. Even the American state department will side against Israel time and time again (look at the record), so America itself is not a 100% friend. And lets not even talk about the media. Playing the PR game leads to more death, not less. Leads to Israel looking weak in the eyes of its enemies and that leads them to attack time and again. History is the guide here, not PR. Israel pulls back, it's attacked. Israel looks weak, it's attacked. Israel tries for peace when it's the victor, it's attacked. Sometimes you have to say, "screw em" and give them what they are asking for. They want death, give it to them. >> Dino wrote: >> But lets try it your way.
