Inside Hamas’s propaganda strategy

Terrorize Israelis while eliciting sympathy abroad

TIMES OF ISRAEL by Gianluca Pacchiani

In accordance with its founding charter, Hamas uses a sophisticated media presence and uniform narrative to rally its base — and turn the world against Israel. NOTE: By HAMAS’ own admission and charter, they are fighting a Jihad, a religious Muslim war of conquest. Those who joined HAMAS’ cause in the west, in the streets of Europe and the Americas, are doing likewise, fighting a Jihadi war for Allah to subjugate the Jews, as you’ll find out below in this TOI exposé. It is, among banging one’s head against a brick wall, an obviously worthy and productive cause.

According to experts, Hamas’s propaganda operation is a well-oiled machine, aiming on one front to instill fear among Israelis and on another to rally support from its Palestinian and international bases.

Guy Aviad, a former IDF history department official and author of “The Politics of Terror – An Essential Hamas Lexicon,” (2014), noted that the terror group views its media operations as “an additional battlefield, parallel to its physical war efforts.”

To achieve this, Hamas employs highly skilled media professionals, many of whom received their education in the West.

“Their output is technically of very high quality,” Aviad said. “This level of sophistication is also seen in Hezbollah’s media, such as their recent high-definition video showcasing their (far more then Gaza’s underground tunnel systeM). Jihadist groups often learn from each other.”

On August 19, Hamas claimed responsibility for an explosion in Tel Aviv the day before, a suicide bombing carried out as a joint operation with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The terror group vowed to continue such attacks in the future.

MEANWHILE BACK IN THE REAL WORLD, NOT THE NEXT ONE:

'Back from the dead' Islamic Jihad chief killed by Israeli Special Forces

(Andrew Benjamin: Reportedly the 72 virgins in Paradise threaten to go on strike because of overworked conditions. Others claim Paradise ain’t what it used to be.)

The attack only failed because the bomb the terrorist was carrying in his backpack detonated before he reached his destination, killing him instantly and moderately wounding a passerby.

(Andrew Benjamin: At this very moment 72 vestal virgins are having non-stop, without a break for eternity, orgasmic sex with a headless bloody Jihadi who, without his head, is seriously prevented from shouting out in the middle of his ecstacy, “Allahu Akhbar!”. Medical staff at the scene explained that people without heads have greater difficulty expressing themselves than people whose heads are still attached to their shoulders, but it won’t stop them from attending orgies. Seriously, who woulda’ thunk it?)

Following the claim, Hamas quickly disseminated posters on social media depicting images of blown-up buses in Tel Aviv. The captions, written in Arabic, Hebrew and English, boldly declared, “We are coming.”

(Andrew Benjamin: The headless Jihadi in Paradise uttered the same sentiment, but no sound was coming out of his mouth. Reportedly with his head having landed up somewhere in Mykonos, on top of a tourist’s Greek Salad, the sentiment went unappreciated.)

The message was clear: Hamas was signaling the start of a new wave of suicide attacks reminiscent of the terror campaign that gripped Israel in the 1990s and peaked during the Second Intifada in the early 2000s.

The posters were carefully designed, featuring terrorists wearing Palestinian keffiyehs and explosive belts, standing beside buses like those that operated in Israel decades ago.

Al Jazeera: A mouthpiece for Hamas

Al Jazeera, the Qatari-owned news network, also plays a crucial role in Hamas’s media strategy. The channel has by far a larger viewership in the Palestinian territories than any local channel. March 2023 found its rating stood at 28%. Since then, it has skyrocketed to 82%, according to a poll by the PCPSR from June of this year.

The Qatari channel has a longstanding relationship with the terror group, often acting as a platform for its messages.

On October 7, it aired a speech by Hamas’s military spokesman Abu Obeida, a move that some commentators described as serving as a mouthpiece for the terror group. “Anyone looking for Hamas’s latest video or official statements can easily find them on Al Jazeera,” Aviad said.

Who Was Abdallah Aljamal? Gaza Journalist Who Wrote for Al-Jazeera and Held Israeli Hostages for HAMAS in his Home - International Business Times

Before his death, he contributed to the Palestine Chronicle, writing numerous stories about the deaths of Palestinians in Gaza during Israel's offensive.

A Gaza journalist who worked for Al Jazeera was holding three hostages in his home with his family before he was killed by Israeli commandos during a rescue operation on Saturday, according to the Israeli military. Abdallah Aljamal was a Palestinian journalist and member of the Hamas terror group, who was exposed only after his death.

(Andrew Benjamin: After having read about all these Jihadis whose heads went missing, 20,000 of them recently dispatched by those detested Zionists in Gaza, and countless others “elevated” earlier, one can only wonder if they all share the same 71 virgins to satisfy themselves? If so, are there are more groups of virgins who are looking forward to having their teeth bashed in before being raped by swarthy middle eastern men of fighting age? Is there a Virgin Employment Office, what is its address, and more importantly, are these virgins self-employed? One might also wonder if these virgins ever take a bath, and if they do, where? They sound bloody appetizing.)
