Queen Rania Of Jordan On Israel’s Hardline PR Tactics

June 8, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

Queen Rania writing in the Independent tells Israel: It’s about policy, not PR:

By attacking criticism as part of an anti-Israel, anti-Semitic propaganda war, Israel, yet again, fails to understand that the problem is policy, not PR. Now and always, hardline policy and those who embrace it are vessels for darker forces that are at once self-cannibalising and combustible. No good can come of them. They are unsustainable because their sense of righteousness denies human worth. Apart from other hardliners on all sides who now have been gifted the fuel to invigorate their fanaticism and circulate it far and wide, everyone else loses out.
