The fight for public opinion and warfare on the Web - Israel News | Haaretz Daily Newspaper

Israel is doing a much better job to inform about the realities of Operation Pillar of Defense.

Since Hamas initiated the latest round of fighting in Gaza, Israel’s critics have been hard-pressed to criticize the country’s need to defend its people against a barrage of hundreds of rockets fired by terrorists.

However, since Hamas is hiding its rocket launches amongst civilians and shooting rockets toward Israeli civilians, it is inevitable that a defense missile from Israel will miss its mark.  Hamas gets propaganda points with its photos of Palestinian deaths.  However, not all the deaths are due to Israeli rockets but rather from Hamas rockets.

Good analysis of media war in today's Ha'aretz.
