		<title>French court rips al-Dura film</title>
		<description><![CDATA["The original France 2 report claimed that al-Dura was killed by Israeli gunfire, but a subsequent investigation by Israel and additional footage that showed al-Dura lifting his head and opening his eyes after being pronounced dead raised huge doubts about its validity."]]></description>

		<title>Hamas injustices inflicted on Palestinians</title>
		<description><![CDATA["Palestinian refugees are treated like third class non-citizens. Even those born in Lebanon are not allowed to own property and are banned from many professions. Palestinians are not allowed to work as journalists or doctors or lawyers or any of 50 professions. And yet, those who sound as if they spend sleepless nights suffering for their Palestinian brethren remain curiously quiet about these terrible, inexcusable injustices."]]></description>

		<title>Iran’s descent into barbarism</title>
		<description><![CDATA["Why is there an Iranian embassy in the middle of London? Does its presence not silently condone this continuing barbarity against women? Where are the women’s groups to protest Western interactions with a country that can mutilate females in the most monstrous ways?"]]></description>

		<title>Cameron Badmouths Israel, Sucks Up to India</title>

•   Beatings, slashing, and other forms of torture
•   Arson -- the burning of dalit communities"

		<title>Woefully Ignorant or Willfully Misleading?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a polemic published last month in the New York Review of Books, “The Failure of the American Jewish Establishment,”  Peter Beinart argued that American Jews, especially the younger generation, are turning their backs on Israel.  Beinart expounded on the points of his original essay during a recent lecture. Just as in the original article, Dr. Dherman analyses Beinart’s argument and shows how it is profoundly flawed.]]></description>

		<title>How Israel Can Win the PR War</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s very hard to dislodge those notions — to convince them, for instance, that Israel did not wantonly target civilians in last year’s war in Gaza, or has not created a humanitarian crisis there by its blockade. But it is possible to persuade them that no matter how bad Israel is, its enemies are much, much worse — and therefore even someone who dislikes Israel should nevertheless back it against those enemies.]]></description>

		<title>Public relations battle is a marathon,</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Israel learned lessons from previous crises and improved accordingly. No one can argue the system worked perfectly, but we will endeavor to learn even more lessons from this crisis to further improve for the future. HOWEVER, NO ONE should be fooled into thinking that this is an easy battle. Just as when an army is involved in asymmetric warfare, in asymmetric public relations, there are structural disadvantages for any fully functioning democratic government.]]></description>

		<title>Public relations battle is a marathon,not a sprint</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Israel’s public diplomacy has become the new battlefield and if one gauges the results, it is clear that there are many positives. There is not one credible member of the international media that still parrots the stated motives of the organizers of the flotilla. Every major international network reported the flotilla story using IDF Spokesman’s videos within hours of the events. More and more correspondents, many who were previously very critical of Israeli policy, have placed the blame squarely on the shoulders of the flotilla organizers. These are very real successes.]]></description>

		<title>Standing down the hate-filled jury</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The jury found the five innocent because it accepted as a valid defense their claim that they vandalized the plant because they wanted to prevent Israel from carrying out war crimes in Gaza. EDO MBM does business with the IDF, therefore, the defendants claimed and the jury agreed, it deserved to be attacked.]]></description>

		<title>An irrational, obscene hatred</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Such raw hatred of Jews, let alone Israel, is commonplace in the Middle East, even without an excuse such as last week’s deadly incident. The “peace flotilla” was no such thing. It had some peaceful people aboard, but its organizer, IHH, is a part of the Muslim Brotherhood, an openly terrorist organization pledged to the destruction of Israel and the triumph of Shari’a law everywhere.]]></description>
