Second, I do not think that Israel image has been affected even with their ongoing cold-blooded slaughtering of hundreds innocent Palestinian civilians. Israel has excellent PR (something we should learn from), and the western news media, specially the American ones, are completely on Israel’s side. They constantly have on air interviews with Israeli spokesmen and ambassadors, and their reporters report from the Israeli perspective. The only time i saw an interview with a Palestinian on this issue was on CNN International which does not air in the USA. So their media that is made for internal consumption has been pretty much on the side of Israel, so Israel’s image has not been affected.

You know what sucks on top of all of this, the other day the white house spokesman was having a press conference regarding the Gaza situation, and he actually referred to the Israeli side as “WE” .. then later on he had to correct himself. See to what degree this is going on ? If the white house spokesman refers to Israel as “WE” i don’t know what to say!
