The World Peace Foundation's Propaganda War
(Los Angeles Jewish Journal) Gerald M. Steinberg - The World Peace Foundation (WPF) at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University is a very visible example of exploiting the facade of peace to fuel conflict and promote false accusations that contribute to hatred and violence. WPF has joined the intense propaganda war accompanying the Gaza conflict. Its head, Alex de Waal, has amplified the accusations that Israel was deliberately using starvation as a weapon against Palestinians in Gaza. However, as the evidence was carefully examined, it became clear that there was and is no famine or food shortage in Gaza. Despite the ongoing attacks by Hamas and the devastating torture and point-blank murder of hostages, Israel has maintained a steady flow of vital supplies.
