designed for the cameras
I briefly mentioned in an earlier post that one aspect of the fog of war in the Middle East was Israel creating the impressions of peace to persuade public opinion. I had in mind the dismantling of the odd outpost and the quiet return of the settlers. It was image creation for the US road map.
Here is an article by an Israeli that spells out in detail what is going on. Its a stage manged affair for the cameras. Showtime. Yet another example of the aesthetics of war.
