Israel's battle against Palestinian terrorism has had a considerable amount of PR hurdles to overcome. So far, the Palestinians have excelled at explaining their "plight" to the sympathetic world, so much so that the world has ignored the slaughter of innocent Israelis, focusing instead on making sure that arch-terrorist Arafat is kept warm and "comfy" and well-fed.
But today, the Israeli cabinet and the Israeli press is getting ready to face a new potential PR disaster in the next few days or weeks.
It seems that the Palestinians are preparing to gather the bodies of the dead terrorists in the Palestinian refugee camp of Jenin, and to present those bodies to the world press as evidence of a wide-scale Israeli massacre.
To accomplish this latest sham, the Palestinian officials are already refusing to bury the bodies of the dead, apparently hoping to inflame world opinion further against Israel and to justify future terrorism against innocent Israelis.
Even though the world should ordinarily be pleased that Israel has eliminated those terrorists, one can be sure that the bodies would be presented without the weapons they were using to do battle, and without any context for their deaths. They will be regarded as ordinary, peace-loving citizens massacred by Israel for no reason at all, other than being Palestinian.
If, in fact, the Palestinians will succeed in duping the naiive and gullible TV audiences of the world, Israel could potentially suffer a major setback from a PR point of view.
