Palestinians Switch Tactics in Rejection of Jews

(NRG-Hebrew) Col. Richard Kemp - Col. Richard Kemp, former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, said Tuesday at Bar-Ilan University: "The Arab nations came to understand that they will not be able to defeat Israel on the battlefield, and therefore decided to transfer the battlefield to the civilian population. The only change on the Palestinian side was an under-the-radar tactical change, but this change still adheres to their original agenda - total rejection of the Jewish population. Instead of tank battles in distant deserts, the Palestinians transferred their battles to densely populated areas where the civilians serve as human shields." "Instead of reporting the news, the media creates it. Mass communication is influencing and misleading public opinion. The media warps reality according to its own view and is influenced by a post-colonial culture that presents Palestinians as victims. It cultivates hate for Israel and strengthens the violence against Israelis. We are witnessing a trial-by-media and the effect it has on public opinion." "As we saw in Gaza last summer, the rockets and tunnels are aimed at civilians and their purpose was not to defeat Israel but rather achieve two goals: The first is to show their own people that they are fighting against Israel, and the second is to drag Israel into reacting....Hamas was counting on the media to strengthen its message and force international organizations and Western governments to pressure Israel."
