Twice daily Israel interrupts the broadcasts on Hezbollah's Al Manar TV showing Hezbollah fighters fleeing from the battle. You can see the footage by clicking on the screen.
Ibrahim of Saudi Arabia responded with this pointed comment:
Wrong propaganda war!!!!!
Israel has to learn to completely ignore what others think of Israel.
This is Israel's weak point, on which every declared and undeclared enemy of Israel applies heavy pressure. Any time Israel appears concerned about world opinion, Israel wil be lambasted. Weakness INVITES abuse.
Israel hopefully learns a lesson from how the world reacts to Islamic outrageous claims and acts: The world hardly criticizes them; probably because the world has learned that criticism has no effect there.
But they criticize Israel non-stop, because they know that Israel cares and that world opinion divides it. This is a major Israeli fault.
Israel has to acknowledge that there are anti-Israel sentiments out there, and stop trying to appease them-appeasing makes them grow even more.
