Those 'influencers' get a nice slice of the budget, too, for the pains they take on poor little Israel's behalf.

The Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Boston will not overestimate Americans.

This is such a typical establishment response, not just the neocom portion of it. The unwashed masses don't like what we are doing! WE can do no wrong, therefore it must be a PR problem. LOL 'Perception management' grifters have been making a killing these last 8 years.

Again, the ethno-socialist-materialist mind at work: there is no objective right or wrong, everything is perception, and perception can be influenced or bought. Right or wrong, good or evil, moral or immoral -- it's all merely a matter of money spread around in the right places. Under that mentality, no wonder this country is so screwed up.

Ed,

The key word is your first - "Again". It's not like this is a new phenomenon. Colin, I don't know where you come from saying that "perception management grifters have been making a killing these last 8 years".
80 years would be more accurate.

Regarding the Zionist enterprise, I must echo Ed's point that human ethics play no part in the thinking of the architects of thier War Crimes. Let's look back to the first Lebanon War. To these people, the massacres at Sabra and Shatilla (sp?) were not a mistake because they were massacres of unarmed civilian refugees, rather because of the fallout in negative world opinion and the PR fiasco that it caused. The solution didn't involve any form of reparations to the victims, just a huge Hasbara push to control American public opinion through proxy media corporations in the US.

Please watch Peace, Propaganda and the Promised land on youtube or google.

I believe that Reinharz was one of the professional liars who endorsed Joan Peter's "From Time Immemorial".

I'm not a Jewish historian so I can't speak to Reinharz' scholarship, but he has a generally good reputation in his field. Shulamit Reinharz, however, his wife, is a pro Israel ideologue who attempted to intervene, a la Der Dersh, in another university's tenure decisions by denouncing Nadia Abu El Haj's effort to get tenure at Barnard. Thank God, Barnard & Columbia ignored her best efforts & granted tenure. She also sits on the David Project board.

If Yehuda Reinharz endorsed Joan Peters' work that would be very sad.

Ed, this is just a mindless concatenation of "isms".
