Don't fall for the PR


Public relations is another front for the War on Terror, and it is where we are losing
Ignoring the rehash of a decade old murder, don't forget the other story dominating the headlines. But look beyond what we're being spoonfed by some of the media. Melanie Phillips has details.

At a recent Stop the West rally (yes, I know, but that’s their real agenda) demonstrators waved placards proclaiming ‘We’re all Hezbollah now’. Really? If so, why were they allowed to parade in Trafalgar Square? In a sane society, they should surely all have been arrested as a self-proclaimed army of holy warriors whose explicit aim was to murder untold numbers of innocents, destroy Britain, America and the free world and subjugate them to the dictatorship of the ayatollahs.

Because that’s what Hezbollah is. Literally designated the Army of God, it is a military force funded, trained by and answerable to the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Iran that is pledged — as it has been since the Khomeini revolution of 1979 — to the destruction of Israel and the genocide of the Jews, as a prelude to destroying the west and infidels everywhere. The Iran that is steadily developing nuclear weapons so that it can achieve these aims.

But then, Britain at this moment isn’t really sane. It is gripped by a kind of collective derangement in which, blinded by hatred of Israel, it thinks that the current war against Israel by Iran’s proxy, Hezbollah, and its ally Syria, is a war by Israel against ‘innocent’ Lebanon. As a result it is quite unable to grasp that Hezbollah’s war against Israel, which is desperately trying to bring Israel to an end once and for all, is a key salient in Iran’s escalating war against the free world.

Because Hezbollah is Iran. Every weapon in Iran’s arsenal is potentially available to Hezbollah. A few days ago, the London Arabic daily, Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, detailed the extensive assistance being provided to Hezbollah by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.

The strategy is straight out of the 60s and 70s. The question is if a PR defeat will lead to a military defeat. At the moment for Israel, I'd have to say yes. But I think the times are changing.

Watch Iran this week. The war in Lebanon is just the distraction.
