Israel: War = Expansion ( Archived) (846)

Conrad73: it is immensely appreciated!

u2Kitty: The manual’s numerous messages are aimed at the mass of “persuadables”, primarily in America but also in the UK. The strategy from the start is to isolate democratically-elected Hamas and to rob the resistance movement and the Palestinian population of their human rights....

§ “Clearly differentiate between the Palestinian people and Hamas. There is an
immediate and clear distinction between the empathy Americans feel for the Palestinians
and the scorn they direct at Palestinian leadership. Hamas is a terrorist organization –
Americans get that already. But if it sounds like you are attacking the Palestinian people
(even though they elected Hamas) rather than their leadership, you will lose public
support. Right now, many Americans sympathize with the plight of the Palestinians, and
that sympathy will increase if you fail to differentiate the people from their leaders.”

The plight of the Palestinians under Israel’s heel was an international concern long before Hamas appeared on the scene.

But this scorning of leaders is familiar ground. We scorned Bush and Blair and had to differentiate between them and their respective peoples. We now have to do the same with Barack Obama and Gordon Brown. We are tired of having to make that same differentiation between the Israeli people and the dreadful leaders they produce.

§ "ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO DEFENSIBLE BORDERS: With more than three years of
violent history since Israel’s agreement to withdraw from Gaza and portions of the West Bank, Americans have had time to take stock of the situation and form opinions.
The big picture: they believe that Hamas’ leadership of Gaza has made Israel and the
region less safe, while some are more receptive to what they perceive as a moderate approach in the West Bank by Mahmoud Abbas. Based on these experiences, they are willing to grant Israel more leeway in resisting calls to give more land for more peace."

Here we clearly see the motive for demonising Hamas....Israel wants more leeway to continue its land-grabs and other criminal activities.

§ “If… If… If…Then.”: Put the burden on Hamas to make the first move for peace by
using If’s (and don’t forget to finish with a hard then to show Israel is a willing peace
partner). “If Hamas reforms… If Hamas recognize our right to exist… If Hamas
renounces terrorism… If Hamas supports international peace agreements… then we are
willing to make peace today.”

How daft can you get? Substitute Israel for Hamas.

Words that work

The manual sets out numerous examples of “words that work” - supposedly.

Conrad73: Boban's Contribution to the Thread!

somone4u: I just went pass this beautiful comment by the most beautiful lady and here I have to show my appreciation. Thank you so much u2kitty.

Wow_Factor: And so do the Arabs. They receive aid, however they often prefer to not spend it as wisely as they should. While Israel progresses, the Arabs are regressing.

somone4u: Which part of the world you living in and which news you read from madam? The Arabs receiving aid? From who? Didn’t you saw that even your queen went to the Arab to beg money the last few days days?
