Quotes-start.png "Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist groups are conducting a skillful "information war" that is making Israel a pariah state in the international community. Israel, like the United States and other democratic nations, is at a severe disadvantage trying to combat a ruthless foe willing to sacrifice its own people to score propaganda points. There are no perfect counter-tactics available, but whenever Israel does use military force it needs to be more aware of the political ramifications." Quotes-end.png
