How Israel Could Lose the Next Media Battle

The enemy uses the media as a tool of warfare - by Dr. Joel Fishman

"On the military level, our enemies have been able to create a situation in which Israel hesitates to use its superior military force and expertise in its own defense. This was also a major strategic accomplishment.

Israel's leaders must find suitable responses to the enemies' tactics of media warfare. They must find a way to neutralize the influence of figures such as the producer-director of the scene at Kfar Kana, who wore a green helmet, and his evil collaborators in the Western media. If they don't, then Israel will suffer more miserable defeats in the media battle. Such failures in the war for public opinion carry a high military and political price. "

Dr. Joel Fishman is a Fellow of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
