The only difference is that in this war, the world only looks at the effects not the causes. Well, I think I agree with this, but I wonder if for different reasons. Al

Arabs may not do much right but they have created great PR which feeds into the both the pacifist and anti-jewish impulses around the world. My self critical friend Zeev made this comment: "As usual, the Israeli propaganda was a total failure, both because Israel is a PR underdog outnumbered by the world's 1 billion Pavlovian pro-Palestinian Moslems and at least 300 million gullible Europeans, and because the Israeli bureaucrats in charge of international PR should have been crucified and replaced BEFORE we attack Hamas. The Israelis have never internalized the fact that modern wars are fought mainly on TV. To be fair to these guys, Israel's total annual propaganda budget is US $10 million. This is not a joke but a real number. Thus the poor suckers were also trying to get freebie blog participation from volunteers. Which the Palestinian propagandists also turned against them. Pathetic."

Israel has had the best PR machine in the world.....that and the American Jewish population have insured that Israel gets nearly $6 billion per year in assistance from America. As with most things, Europe walk up earlier to the game being played. Now Americans are starting to wake up. Arabs are by no means innocents in this deal but they are the true victims, not the Israelis.
