Hamas Stepping Up Psychological Warfare Against Israel

by Gil Ronen

Published:
4/07/08, 4:28 PM

(IsraelNN.com) The leadership of the genocidal Islamic group Hamas has intensified its psychological warfare against Israel recently, the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA) has estimated. The central messages in Hamas's psychological campaign of intimidation and demoralization against Israel are:

- Israel is to blame for the failure of the Egyptian mediation initiative between itself and Hamas.
- The window of opportunity for reaching an agreement with Hamas is about to close.
- Shalit will be executed if Israel does not agree to the demands of the terrorists who are holding him and the subsequent negotiations will be "for his bones."
- If the Rafiah crossing is not reopened soon, this will lead to "an explosion."

(IsraelNN.com) The battle for Sabbath is intensifying, as the buying power-strong hareidi public boycotts a supermarket chain owned by a man whose other stores are open on the Sabbath.

Leading hareidi-religious rabbis called last week for a ban on the popular Shefa Shuk (Plenty Market) supermarket chain - but later relaxed it somewhat.  Shefa Shuk is owned by Dudi Weissman, and caters to the religious public.  Weissman also owns Tel Aviv's trendy AM-PM chain of convenience stores, open 24 hours a day, seven days a week - including Sabbath (Saturday).
