Yeah that’s an interesting video story, but I got a better one I think, or at least a more important one.
Some years ago the Deputy Foreign Minister of Israel Danny Ayalon took a video that was put out by the Yesha Council (umbrella organization of the settlers) and put it into English. That video was essentially an argument about how Israel had a rightful claim to the West Bank.
The Yesha Council/settlers have now put out another video and it’s not known if Ayalon/Israel is going to endorse it, but I’d bet a helluva lot of money this video precisely points the way in which Israeli thinking is going to go and is going to be the precise reasoning behind it eventually, openly saying it’s not in favor of any two-state solution.
A very very interesting—and, I’d bet eventually, in retrospect, gonna be looked upon as very important as well—video indeed:
The mind just boggles at the reaction such a slick presentation would engender amongst jew here in the U.S. if produced here and talked about the relative demographics of *any* group whatsoever in any manner at all much less the way this video does with Palestinian demographics.
Many people talk about how Netanyahu/the Israeli Right or etc. don’t have a plan and are just hurting Israel because they don’t appear to have any real solution in mind of their own.
Au contraire, this video persuades me.

That was a bit disappointing, it really wasn’t all that thorough of a report. I will say that I was (and still am) rather furious that Israel is using gay people as human shields to deflect criticism while they inflict a degree of suffering that will find itself on pages across from the Holocaust in future history books.

Israel can’t win the PR war. There is just too much info out there and there aren’t enough Ziobots to control it.
It’s like my company’s firewall. If I try to find song lyrics on line I’ll get “Your request to URL “http://www.metrolyrics.com/rehab-lyrics-amy-winehouse.html” has been blocked by the web filter URL Filter Database.

So then I try the next link . And hey presto! It works!
Israel has this problem and there is no answer other than
Always speak the truth. That way you don’t have to remember what you said-

That there is a supposed need to create Hasbara is telling of a need to defend the often indefensible and pathetic.
All Israel needs to do is stop the occupation, get over itself and make peace.
As for that lady -what’s-her-name? Her comments were insane and hateful.
I know not all Israelis think like that, but do many or most? Do those in influence and power think like that?
If so, it is no different from the thinking of perpetrators of recent genocides.
