The poor guys from Centcom are doing the best they can, however they fail to realise that the problem is not communication but the actual policies. Instead of trying to better communicate and promote themselves what they need to do is to change their policies. However the Zionists don’t want to give up their policies against muslims and say that the problem is not policies but communication and public relations.

I think its more willful. They dont say it for the sake of saying it, they just want to frame it as a PR issue.
I think we are not far away from the point when all the big countries including US would realize they've created a monster. Three attacks on UN schools. Had it been done by some other country, there will be a case in hague by now for war crimes but ofcourse this is a whole different case.
I dont want to wish death to arab rulers but still think there should be a way they can taste the same treatment what poor Gazans have gone thru.
Read somewhere even Saudi grand mufti has issued a fatwa against protests for Gaza. Just wonder wut kinda world we are living in.
Fez- ***A fatwa has been issued against pro-Gaza marches by a Saudi cleric who says that demonstrations in solidarity with Palestinians “are just useless demagogic actions.”***The fatwa was issued by Saudi Arabia’s Grand Mufti and General President for Scientific Researches and Fatwa, Abdul Aziz Al Ash-Sheikh.This comes at a time after which several demonstrations have been organized in Arab and non-Arabs countries alike in solidarity with the Gaza Strip. These demonstrations have taken place since the Zionist aggression on Palestinians starting, July 8.According to Al Ghadeer TV, Saudi Arabia’s Grand Mufti said that the pro-Gaza demonstrations “are just useless demagogic actions, that won’t help Palestinians.” “Demagoguery does not work. It is just an exaggeration,” he added.
wut saudi grand mufta i mean mufti is saying doesnt make any sense at all. But wait, not sure why was I trying to find any sense of him. Ofcourse with people like these its utter foolishness to imagine we can ever unite against haters.
LONDON: Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan’s words were more potent on Sunday night, as he condemned Israel, accusing it of deliberately killing Palestinian mothers and warned that it would “drown in the blood it sheds.”
He was speaking to thousands of supporters during a rally in Istanbul ahead of a 10 August election.
“Just like Hitler, who sought to establish a race free of all faults, Israel is chasing after the same target,” Erdogan said, according to Reuters.
“They kill women so that they will not give birth to Palestinians; they kill babies so that they won’t grow up; they kill men so they can’t defend their country … They will drown in the blood they shed.”
**France has said foreign nations must impose a “political solution” on Israel and Gaza and that the former’s right to security “does not justify” the deaths of Palestinian civilians.
France, it appears, has sought to distance itself from the increasing death toll of innocents as the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) leads a charge against Hamas.**
A “humanitarian” ceasefire was reportedly beached by Israel minutes after it was called on Monday, following an air strike on a house in the Shati refugee camp in Gaza City, which killed an eight-year-old girl and wounded 29 others.
If Israel’s ‘right to defend’ itself against Palestinian rockets is applied in Afghanistan, then what will be US position in the country? Secondly, as France has said, the right to defend does not mean right to kill at will.
See there is a time when words are important. But then a time comes when words dont mean anything and actions are required. So this is where we are. Even turkey has backdoor trade with Israel, they aint gona do sh!t for Gaza. May be some humanitarian aid and thats it.
This is the poster my Uni friend was carrying in the last Gaza protest in London. All photographers were literally stopping him to take pictures of the poster, and he couldn’t be happier. That was the whole point. The message on the board is the ultimate truth and it’s about time Muslims wholeheartedly denounce these filthy cowards that are just as responsible for this genocide as Israel and Western countries.
Vile, absolutely vile statement from that Mufti. I’m disgusted, seriously. There is something about Saudi Arabia sickens me. If it wasn’t for that country being the home of Islamic Holy sites, I wouldn’t show an iota of restrain in expressing my disgust.
You know things are bad when even France is distancing itself. France has clearly shown by it's policies that they're anti-muslim in some ways, especially hatred towards the burqa, etc. And even THEY are taken aback by what's going on...
It's funny, someone should put Erdogan's pictures and this mufti's pictures side by side, and then place quotes of their positions underneath the pictures, w/message of the poster being "Beards/Burqas don't make you a muslim".
I don't know about you guys, but everything that is going on...makes me want to pray in protest. That no one can take my namaz away from me. One prayer I read, I hope the sawab of that is granted to the innocents who are suffering.
I mean this is getting out of hand at this point. Even innocent Israeli lives are being lost and all for what? So they can get at the natural gas that Gaza is sitting upon?? As much as many here will hate hearing this, it's not fair that young 20 yr olds in Israel are being sent to war, being forced to fight - for most of them, the experience is probably horrifying.
Hopefully this next ceasefire sticks, this time around. Looks like there will be a ceasefire starting tomorrow.
The Arab so called leaders have wealth but they have no worth. They are worthless and trash. Edward Snowden stated "the true measurement of a person's worth isn't what they say they believe in, but what they do in defence of those beliefs. If you're not acting on your beliefs, then they probably aren't real". The Latin American countries have shown that they have leaders of real worth.
The Isreal Palestine struggle is a david vs goliath battle in which david will eventually prevail. Snowden also states "The protagonist is often an ordinary person, who finds himself faced with grave injustices from powerful forces and has the choice to flee in fear or to fight for his beliefs. And history also shows that seemingly ordinary people who are sufficiently resolute about justice can triumph over the most formidable adversaries".
It is a sad state of affairs when the president of the sole superpower is a proven liar, and many other people at the top are also liars. They lie even to their own people. Its people have either become morally corrupt or have just become cogs in a machines, without conscious, emotions and independent thought.
Baroness Warsi resigns over Gaza conflict saying she ‘can no longer support Government policy’**
Announcing her resignation this morning, the former Chair of the Conservative Party said that she had written to the Prime Minister “and tendered [her] resignation”.
“I can no longer support Government policy on Gaza,” she wrote.
Baroness Warsi, who in 2012 was also appointed by David Cameron as Minister for Faith and Communities, has regularly expressed her views on fighting between Israel and the Palestinians in Gaza on her Twitter feed, which is followed by more than 35,000 people.
On the 24 July, more than two weeks into the current conflict that has seen more than 1,800 Palestinians killed, she wrote: “Can people stop trying to justify the killing of children. Whatever our politics there can never be justification, surely only regret gaza](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=Gaza) .”
Her resignation comes as yesterday Mr Cameron refused to condemn Israel’s recent apparent air strike on a UN-run school in Rafah, Gaza as “criminal”.
The attack, which killed at least 10 Palestinians including children, provoked recriminations from around the world, including the UN and Israel’s long-time allies, the US.
Mr Cameron said it was “right” to condemn the air strike, but stopped short of endorsing UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon’s description of the attack as a “moral outrage and a criminal act”.
Responding to Baroness Warsi’s resignation today, fellow Conservative peer Lord Deben described her as a “class act in the House of Lords upon whom [the] Government relies”.
“[The] Government will miss her command of the subject and of the House. She is a significant loss on a real matter of principle,” he said.
Labour was also quick to respond to the news. Sadiq Khan, the shadow Justice Secretary, said it was “very courageous of my brave friend Sayeeda Warsi to resign over this Government’s inexplicable silence and total weakness on the Gaza crisis”.
His comments followed Ed Miliband’s criticism of the Prime Minister over the weekend for failing to send a “clearer message to Israel” over the conflict.
On Saturday the Labour leader said it was “wrong” of Mr Cameron not to publicly oppose Israel’s incursion into Gaza, adding: “His silence on the killing of hundreds of innocent Palestinian civilians caused by Israel’s military action will be inexplicable to people across Britain and internationally.”
So we are now in a 72 hour cease fire, which look to hold ongoing since Israel's army has withdrawn from Gaza and rocket fire into Israel has been halted.
Formal peace negotiations are imminent in Cairo, with both Palestinian and Israeli negotiators in that city now.
Apparently Hamas had only agreed to the ceasefire on the condition that the negotiations will involve the easing of the siege. Egypt has reported agreed to doing that from its end; if that works out then Hamas will have an easy time selling this war domestically as a victory.
Which is the second tragedy of the whole war. Israel will have once again sent the message that the only way to get concessions is through force, resistance, war and conflict which leads to the death of thousands of innocent Palestinians.
Israel continues to inadvertently do everything it can to strengthen militant groups by making major concessions only to them and never to the Palestinian Authority which actually tries peaceful negotiation.
