Comments on: Hearts, minds, and infowar http://fresnozionism.org/2009/02/hearts-minds-and-war/ A pro-Israel voice from California's Central Valley Thu, 29 Jul 2010 05:48:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Shalom Freedman http://fresnozionism.org/2009/02/hearts-minds-and-war/comment-page-1/#comment-6890 Shalom Freedman Sun, 01 Mar 2009 09:22:37 +0000 http://fresnozionism.org/archives/1175#comment-6890 The apparent U.S. rejection of the Durban II planned anti- Semitic festival is encouraging. On the other hand you are right about the deteriorating level of Journalism generally. I am astounded not only in reading wirepress reports which are viciously anti- Israel but also op-eds in the best newspapers, written by hate- filled ignoramuses. We now face in terms of the media globally a traditional Jewish problem of being outnumbered. What is alarming above all is that this is also happening in the one place it most counts, the United States. 'Hating Israel and working for its delegitimization' has become the new cause of the Radical Left and the Islamic Jihadi Right. I believe that we can do better than we are doing. We have many very competent and persuasive writers on our side, but even Michael Oren, Daniel Pipes, Yossi Klein - Halevi, Rafi Israeli, Mark Steyn, Gerald Steinberg, Manfred Gerstenfeld, David Horowitz, P.David Hornik, Caroline Glick, Barry Rubin, Martin Kramer, and many others cannot compete with the legions of the Left and the Islamists.

Canada has opted out as well. I thought that was mentioned somewhere else in this post. At any rate, maybe the strides to inform the public about Israel and the Middle East is having greater success than anticipated. In some instances, however, keeping on guard means always working to inform against outlandish claims and baseless claims of violations of international law by Hamas and PA supporters.
