Ted, <Palestinians are overplaying their hand.> Well said, but I'm afraid the propaganda isn't meant for reasonable folk in the free world. Rather, it's meant to inspire more extremist nuts to blow themselves up. Tenchusatsu

Its BS........the Palestinians are overplaying their hand. The Palestinians are winning the media war. Largely, the media is sympathetic to the Palestinian cause and the colors the coverage in a big way. The best example is Reuters' refusal to call suicide bombers "terrorists"; but there are tons of others. A humorous (if there can be humor in this situation) display was shown on Brit Hume's Fox news show yesterday. It was video tape made from the air by an Israeli spy plane. You see this group of 15 Palestinians carrying the body of a fallen comrade, all wrapped up, high on their shoulders -- they way they do -- parading it before the media. Then, suddenly, the body is accidentally dropped to the ground. The poor, deceased victim then picks himself up, they spread out the wrapping, he climbs back in, and the parade continues. Now, an onlooker missing this coverage would have thought, "there goes another poor Palestinian civilian killed by the mean old Israelis", when reality is the entire parade was a hoax. These people are liars and the press is part of the lie.
