War on Propaganda

Reader comment on item: [The Hamas electoral victory:] Democracy's bitter fruit

Submitted by Stephan Benedict (United States), Jan 28, 2006 at 11:34

For decades the Palestinian media, schools, educators and parents have poisoned their almost three generations of population with anti-Jewish and anti-Israel propaganda.

Without these being changed from outside, they will be perpetrated forever with no end of violence in sight. The entire palestinian media has to be controlled from outside the country. Radio stations and TV stations have to get a balanced view of the world. The school textbooks have to be changed, if they want to continue to receive financial aid.

The dismantling of terrorist organizations is only one step, but one of the most important one is the propaganda war. That is part of changing the terrorists mind and heart. In this area, the terrorists are way ahead of the west. They know how to brainwash their own children to become suicide bombers. That propaganda war can be fought only from outside.
