Is Israel Losing the Propoganda War? Maybe Not.

When you see the headlines in our East- and West-coast more liberal newspapers, you would believe that Israel has been “disproportionate” in their response to the Hamas unremitting missile attacks, and as a consequence is “losing the PR war.” However, another dynamic is taking place behind the scenes that is far more important than the ugly street demonstrations. The Christian Science Monitor (January 8th) has picked up on something interesting: they claim that Israel is finding more sympathy in Europe – a major change in 30-year-old European government policies. The Monitor has not been particularly friendly toward Israel over the years, which makes this observation even more important.
