“Det kommer stadig flere vitnesbyrd om krigsforbrytelser begått av den israelske hæren under det nylige angrepet på Gaza.

How many divisions? By Uri Avnery (Gush Shalom, 10 January 2009)
“In this war, as in any modern war, propaganda plays a major role. The disparity between the forces, between the Israeli army – with its airplanes, gunships, drones, warships, artillery and tanks – and the few thousand lightly armed Hamas fighters, is one to a thousand, perhaps one to a million. In the political arena the gap between them is even wider. But in the propaganda war, the gap is almost infinite.”

Birth pangs of a new Palestine. By Mouin Rabbani (Middle East Report Online, January 7, 2009)
“Fresh memories of Israel’s failed 2006 war on Lebanon have meant that — across the political spectrum – the last war is the standard against which virtually every aspect of the current one is being measured. Yet closer examination suggests that the more apt comparisons are with Israel’s 2002 invasion of West Bank cities and the 1982 invasion of Lebanon. These operations may also provide better indicators of what is to come in Gaza.”

Israel and the media – twisted by propaganda. By Richard Seymour (Socialist Worker, Issue 2133, 6 January 2009)
