Two people who work together and happen to be a Muslim (Souheila) and a Jew (David). Both have their roots in the Middle East. Both want to see a lasting peace in the region. Both are willing to talk to one another and to the world about all the misrepresentations and difficult issues that surround Jewish-Muslim relations. Walls of division, suspicion, hatred and fear have been created over the last decades. This is an attempt to bring down those walls.

Disinformation is Power

The war of information that goes on about Gaza includes a lot of propaganda and denial of wrong doing. It was a classic case of disinformation when the Israeli Army launched a 3 day investigation to find out if Israeli soldiers performed war crimes in Gaza. Of course, it found out and published a statement that Israel's Army is the most MORAL army in the world.

 

The Hamas also engaged in its investigation about Palestinian pro-Fatah prisoners and how they were treated.  This investigation is a spin on facts that everyone knows. Mistreating pro-Fatah supporters in Gaza has been established before.

 

So the competition of spin and denial is an ongoing feature of all people in power and movements that claim moral superiority. Disinformation and the work by the Ministry of Truth on all sides is a given. The power of spin and PR

are always evident. But you cannot fool all the poeple all of the time.
