Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Hamas top dog Ismail Haniya: “In this war, we won the media war as well”

Sep 9, 2014 7:53 pm By Robert Spencer

“Our narrative has gained the upper hand in the media and was the more credible.” It wasn’t more credible, actually. But the mainstream media was anxious to believe it and spread the “Palestinian” jihad propaganda. “The media analysis and the men of the [Palestinian] media everywhere constituted the river from which the global media quenched its thirst for information about what was happening on the ground.” That is true. It would be analogous to the global media relying exclusively on Josef Goebbels’ Propaganda Ministry in 1942 for news about the war.

“Hamas Leader Ismail Haniya: Our Media Was the River from Which Global Media Drank Information,” MEMRI, August 29, 2014:

Hamas Leader Ismail Haniya declared that the Palestinian media “constituted the river from which the global media quenched its thirst for information about what was happening” during the war. “The Palestinian people has won the war on the military front, the political front, the media front, and the moral front,” he said, speaking at a ceremony commemorating the Palestinian media personnel killed during the Gaza war, broadcast by Al-Jazeera on August 29, 2014.

Following is an excerpt:

Ismail Haniya: In this war, we won the media war as well. This war was a military victory, which was achieved even before the end of the war. This war was a victory on the military front, on the political front, on the media front, and on the moral front. We waged a war in the realm of moral values as well.

Therefore, the Palestinian people has won the war on the military front, the political front, and the media front. Our narrative has gained the upper hand in the media and was the more credible. Our image in the media was the more effective.

The media analysis and the men of the [Palestinian] media everywhere constituted the river from which the global media quenched its thirst for information about what was happening on the ground.

Even Zionist society itself no longer believed the narrative of its leaders and of the Israeli army. They got their news from the committed Palestinian media of the resistance.

    Nothing like death threats to foreign media in Gaza, to limit their capacity for coverage of other than the Hamas narrative!

    the “palastinians” havent won until theyve driven israel into the sea…
    its been said so many times..

    they (palestine) seem to be the favourites of the western governments and media regardless.

    hamas are a sideshow. there will be another war..it has already started with hundreds of airstrikes on baghdad. our troops, wherever they are drawn from, will need israel’s help with intelligence and support. they may even make israel a base of operations.

    these comments on the recent renewal of hostility are mundane. congratulated for placing ammo statistically near human shields. for trying to kidnap soldiers. for contributing to the violence.

    For a people who celebrate death, defeat and failure, they wouldn’t know success if it smacked them in the face….
