The US amongst all civilized nations REFUSED to condemn Saudi Arabia for sentencing a woman to be lashed for sitting in a car with a man that wasn't her husband or father or brother AFTER she had been gang-raped .

Canada described the sentence as 'disgusting' and Germany said it was 'uncivilized'.

Having read that do you not think that money and oil comes before morality in the eyes of the US government and corporations? There goes your answer.

you are very ignorant of the entire situation in the middle east.

#0 The nation that blesses Israel God will Bless and the nation that curses Israel God will destroy. The day the US goes against Israel will be the day of our destruction.

#1 strategic location - Israel is our only ally in the region.
#2 There is no such thing as a Palestinian people or whatever, those are just Arab terrorists. The word Palestinian wasn't even a word prior to Yassir Arafat.
#3 This area has had more blood shed than at any other place in the world. it doesn't matter what the US policy will be - they'll kill each other until the end of time until that great battle of Armageddon.
#4 who attacked first?

this is very complex - you can't base everything on one article. it takes much study. If you just form an opinion based on no information you are very ignorant.

I think it is because we are fooled by the fact that after forty years of "occupation", the Israelis have been unable to even make a dent in the Palestinian population.

Obviously the Israelis that are in charge of the genocide are thoroughly incompetent, as there have been no mass deaths even worth reporting in Al Jazeera.

What genocide is that? If the Palestinians would cease acting like animals and refrain from suicide bombs and lobbing rockets into Israel proper, they wouldn't even see the IDF.

People like you have a strange definition of genocide. If Israel were indeed a genocidal state, there would be no Palestinians by now.

i come across the folk who're telling you your thesis is faulty to be humorous. to deny that Arabs line up in lockstep in the back of the Palestinians of their hatred and violence against Israel is in simple terms ludicrous. while became into the final time any of you observed a expert-Israel rally in any Arab state? It in simple terms does not ensue. Arabs are like little teenagers and could persist with whoever the community strongman is. regrettably, all the community strongmen hate Israel.

Propaganda as a weapon; for it is nothing but a weapon, and indeed a most terrifying weapon in the hands of those who know how to use it.

The second question of decisive importance is this: To whom should propaganda be made to appeal? To the educated intellectual classes? Or to the less intellectual?

Propaganda must always address itself to the broad masses of the people. For the intellectual classes, or what are called the intellectual classes to-day, propaganda is not suited, but only scientific exposition. Propaganda has as little to do with science as an advertisement poster has to do with art, as far as concerns the form in which it presents its message. The art of the advertisement poster consists in the ability of the designer to attract the attention of the crowd through the form and colours he chooses. The advertisement poster announcing an exhibition of art has no other aim than to convince the public of the importance of the exhibition. The better it does that, the better is the art of the poster as such. Being meant accordingly to impress upon the public the meaning of the exposition, the poster can never take the place of the artistic objects displayed in the exposition hall. They are something entirely different. Therefore. those who wish to study the artistic display must study something that is quite different from the poster; indeed for that purpose a mere wandering through the exhibition galleries is of no use. The student of art must carefully and thoroughly study each exhibit in order slowly to form a judicious opinion about it.

The situation is the same in regard to what we understand by the word, propaganda. The purpose of propaganda is not the personal instruction of the individual, but rather to attract public attention to certain things, the importance of which can be brought home to the masses only by this means.

Here the art of propaganda consists in putting a matter so clearly and forcibly before the minds of the people as to create a general conviction regarding the reality of a certain fact, the necessity of certain things and the just character of something that is essential. But as this art is not an end in itself and because its purpose must be exactly that of the advertisement poster, to attract the attention of the masses and not by any means to dispense individual instructions to those who already have an educated opinion on things or who wish to form such an opinion on grounds of objective study - because that is not the purpose of propaganda, it must appeal to the feelings of the public rather than to their reasoning powers.

All propaganda must be presented in a popular form and must fix its intellectual level so as not to be above the heads of the least intellectual of those to whom it is directed. Thus its purely intellectual level will have to be that of the lowest mental common denominator among the public it is desired to reach. When there is question of bringing a whole nation within the circle of its influence, as happens in the case of war propaganda, then too much attention cannot be paid to the necessity of avoiding a high level, which presupposes a relatively high degree of intelligence among the public.

The more modest the scientific tenor of this propaganda and the more it is addressed exclusively to public sentiment, the more decisive will be its success. This is the best test of the value of a propaganda, and not the approbation of a small group of intellectuals or artistic people.

The art of propaganda consists precisely in being able to awaken the imagination of the public through an appeal to their feelings, in finding the appropriate psychological form that will arrest the attention and appeal to the hearts of the national masses. That this is not understood by those among us whose wits are supposed to have been sharpened to the highest pitch is only another proof of their vanity or mental inertia.

The US people are divided on the issue, but the government backs Israelis up 100% because of political action commitees and lobbyists.

If there were a genocide there would be no Palestinians.

Why do Arabs blindly support the Palestinian genocide against the Israelis?

Because the USA has been thoroughly infiltrated by Zionist Jews at all levels of our government, media, military, education system, and money system. Do you really think a dual-citizen Israeli can be allegiant to both the USA and Israel at the same time? NOT!
