Israel to mount emergency international PR effort in wake of Gaza campaign
Edited on Sat Dec-27-08 10:55 AM by ProgressiveMuslim

Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni on Saturday instructed the Foreign Ministry to take emergency measures to adapt Israel's international public relations to the ongoing escalation in the Gaza Strip.

Livni instructed senior ministry officials to open an aggressive and diplomatic international public relations campaign, in order to gain greater international support for Israel Defense Forces operations in the Gaza Strip.

Israel launched Saturday morning the start of a massive offensive against Qassam rocket and mortar fire on its southern communities, targeting dozens of buildings belonging to the ruling Hamas militant group.

So it was easy.

6. Hamas has already put out theirs
"I believe what happened today is a continuity of the Israeli collective crime against the Palestinians."

"No one will accept now any talk about a peace process, because everyone knows that the Palestinian people are fed up with 17 years of negotiation without any result."

"The second thing which I believe is happening every morning is that Palestinians believe that there is no solution unless there is a resistance."

5. Israel has to protect its citizens
Nothing they do has prevented Palestinian militant violence and terrorism.

No one will protect Israel but themselves, and they can't worry about worldwide support or reaction at this time.
