Israel wants to improve its image in Arab media

"Despite the recession, last year “The Israel Project” received $7 million dollars in donations, expanded its staff to 44 employees and recently added projects in Latin America and outreach to the Arab media in addition to its activities in the U.S., Europe and Israel."   They think if they get good press in the mouthpiece of Prince Salman or in Saudi sleaze website, Elaph, it means that they can win hearts and minds of average Arabs.  I spent this last summer in Beirut, and met young Arabs from around the Arab world and I was most impressed with the uniform detestation of Israel throughout the region.  This is why: Israel's years are numbered.  Dream on, Zionists.  It is only a dream.      (thanks Bob)
