Israeli propaganda at it's most dangerous?

I'm sorry, but this is exactly the sort of attitude which creates greater hate and anger towards the Israeli state, feeding in one way or another more conflict and more attacks from Palestine...and for what?

So that pro Israeli supporters can have a moment of smug hilarity in the face of the suffering and humiliation of the Palestinian people?

I have no idea whether or not the Israeli govenment have a direct influence with this sort of propaganda, although it would surprise me if they didn't, the video originated from a Israeli site called 'Latma':

www.latma.co.il...

Latma means "slap" in Hebrew slang. Latma is a satirical website that focuses on criticism of the uniformly far left local media in Israel. Our tiny team of researchers, writers, actors and production staff devotes itself to pointing out media bias and professional incompetence of Israel's leading media celebrities and news outlets both through daily web updates and through our flagship weekly online video broadcast.

www.carolineglick.com...

This video really got under my skin, it's simply not neccisary, it seems childish and incredibly condescending.

Media is an incredibly powerful tool, more powerful than the average person could ever even begin to comprehend.This sort of material on sites like YouTube can do serious damage, it has the potential to become overnight sensations, reaching out to millions and millions of people, all who will be affected by it in one way or another, and whos opinions matter.

Should there be some sort of law that stops or regulates prpoaganda which has such potential to biasly influence massive numbers of people on issues which have such serious consequences on the lives of people who viewers will never meet?

Or should we fight fire with fire? Communicating an equally opposing bias opinion?

How do we set truth upon the masses???

(and when I say truth, I don't mean that Hamas are innocent)

Thats beside the point.

If the threat was real, the first to fire shots/missiles would be eliminated by an invasion in short order and begin to put an end to using violence instead of negotiations and comprimise to find peace.

Ummm.........Who do you think ?
I heard the UN has a thing called NATO...

You are so confused. NATO is not a UN organization. It is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, an organization of 28 countries in Europe and North America, founded in 1949 in Washington DC, largely as a result of the Berlin blockade and the percieved need to fight Communist expansionism. The UN was founded in late 1945 and has 192 members as of now.

Edit to add that Israel is a member of the UN - Palestine is not but has been granted recognition as a non-member state,since as an occupied country, it is not independent. Neither is a member of NATO.
