A 2003 survey found Europeans seeing Israel as "the greatest threat" to world peace. How did this insane inversion of reality - the Middle East's only fully free and democratic country seen as the leading global menace - come to be?
Europeans seeing Israel as "the greatest threat" to world peace. 'If today's Arab anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish propaganda strongly resembles that of the Third Reich, there is a good reason." So writes Joel Fishman of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs in "The Big Lie and the Media War against Israel," an insightful piece of historical research. Fishman begins by noting the topsy-turvy situation whereby Israel is perceived as a dangerous predator as it defends its citizens against terrorism, conventional warfare, and weapons of mass destruction. A 2003 survey, for instance, found British government first exploited advances in mass media and advertising to target both the enemy's and its own civilian populations, hoping to shape their thinking. Mein Kampf (1925):
"At first the claims of the [British] propaganda were so impudent that people thought it insane; later, it got on people's nerves; and in the end, it was believed." From one 'Big Lie' to another

Why? Because they won't lie down and say "kill all of us"?
I noticed another article this morning which said that Syria is planning war against Israel *this summer*! This is mind-boggling. Then I remembered the people of present-day Syria and the Hebrews of Israel have been doing this since the days of the Judges.
