From StrategyPage
"All of this shows that the Palestinian leadership realizes that Arab and non-Arab audiences get turned on, or off, by different messages. As a result, you get these two quite different approaches to Arab-Israeli relationships."

Propagandists over the years have found that if you put out lies, they will eventually come back to haunt you. It's better to tell the truth, even with a little 'rosy shading' on it than to get caught in a lie. (the 'rosy shading' might at least give some 'wriggle room'.)

On the other hand, if enough people re-broadcast the lies(in what ever medium!), then eventually it becomes 'truth' as far as the public is concerned. Which answers the question of why the 'world' believes that 'the palestinians want peace and those nasty old Israelis won't let them have it.'
Amazing what people will believe - of course it helps if they WANT to believe it!
