Another failure of Israel was in the Arab media sector. The Israeli-Egyptian-Saudi plan in Gaza clearly had a component that relied on the Saudi media. You look at Saudi media in the first two days and realize that the plan utilized the propaganda outlets of the House of Saud--the allies of Zionism. But even that plan backfired: Al-Arabiyya TV came under attack and had to retract and to change its coverage of Gaza. AlJazeera won the day: that was expected (studies show that at times of crisis AlJazeera becomes THE CHANNEL for the Arabs, and you can look at Alexa studies of the internet sites of both Al-Arabiyya and AlJazeera and see) but one easily say that this crisis led to another re-emergence of AlJazeera. Al-Arabiyya suffered and had to hide Dahlan after the third day.
