| 2006-07-31 |
| Hizbullah said its guerrillas hit an Israeli warship with rockets off the coast of the south Lebanese port city of Tyre on Monday. Hizbullah said in a statement the attack was the start of its retaliation for Sunday's bombing of a building in south Lebanon that killed 54 civilians, including 37 children. An Israeli security source said no Israeli vessel had been hit. (Reuters) |

| #8 Hey people, even USA didn't do all that well in the propaganda war. So sorry, but you can't disabuse a tranzi from something he/she learned during the brief period their minds were capable of learning. |

| #7 "Israel has been upstaged many times by terrorist propaganda." mhw, I'm talking about military strategy and you're talking about a marketing problem. If this thread was about propaganda, I agree. I voiced my displeasure here, yesterday. |

| #6 Related topic, an opiniated letter from one of my ML GO HERE -----Original Message----- From: Naomi *** [mailto:*****@*****.net.il] Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 16:13 To: *****@****.ca Subject: Bombing of Nahariyah hospital From a listmember: Dear Mrs. ****: I did not see in any foreign report, any picture, about the bombing of Nahariyah Hospital and the destruction of its fourth floor and the Department of Eye Diseases, in which Arabs and Jews have been treated, and where Arab and Jewish interns work. Israeli propaganda is poor, weak and miserable. Israeli propaganda even hides the truth. Israeli propaganda depends mainly on this poor and stammering lady, the speaker of IDF, a nice woman I would not keep employed even to be a phone operator. Israeli propaganda depends on the arbitrary opinions of unofficial people. Our defeat in the media is worse than a defeat on the battlefield.

| #5 they mustn't be that quick at learning lessons or else they wouldn't be expressing regret for killing women, children and United Nations Peace keepers so often What could the Israelis do better? Specifics, not generalizations, please. Not a problem list so much as an answer list, too. |

| #4 Fool me twice. Israel has been upstaged many times by terrorist propaganda. Never have they said before an operation that they were fighting terrorists who use human shields, who pretend dead terrorists are dead civilians and who coerce civilians into pretending to support them. This would be easy to do at the beginning of a conflict where Israel's leader gets some verbatim TV time. I grant you it wouldn't convince some of the pro appeasement Europeans, but it would help loads with our American version of the same thing. |

| #2 Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I seriously doubt it. The IDF is the fastest at learning lessons and setting up countermeasures. |

| #1 Now wouldn't it be interesting if they hit a humanitarian aid ship? Fox's guy in Tyre is reporting seeing no missiles launched and no ships of any sort. |
