Hamas: Today's Master Showmen By Howard Linett
“There’s a sucker born every minute.” The words are generally attributed to my fellow Nutmegger, “master showman” P.T. (Phineas Taylor) Barnum, creator and promoter of the Greatest Show On Earth®. No one better understands and uses the Sucker Concept than does Hamas.
Last week’s “Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza” followed by the still continuing “Great Breakout from Gaza” had all the earmarks and trappings of a SideShow at an old fashioned Three-Ring Circus. Both were productions created and promoted by Hamas terrorists. Nowadays war is waged more in the press than on the battlefield. Photos and video are more powerful than tanks and artillery. Smart bombs take out targets. Images stop offensives. Soldiers win battles. PR consultants win wars. In today’s world of instant communication more than ever before Rudyard Kipling’s words ring true, “The first victim of war is truth.”
