Objectives: Create and amplify image of Israel as "the aggressor," aka "Nazi." Create and amplify image of Palestinians as "victims." Cause eventual elimination of identified Nazi aggressors from Israel and 'win' for Palestinian victims. Methodology: 1. Shoot missiles into Israel. 2. Locate missile launchers near civilians, preferably children. 3. Locate photographers nearby missile launchers. 4. Await response of Israel to missile attacks. 5. Capture images, preferably of dead children and civilians. 6. Disseminate images worldwide. Method of Evaluation: Word/imagery scores produced by ad campaign, as follows: Israel: "Aggressor" = 10 points "Overreaction" = 10 points" "Disproportionate = 10 points" "Satanic (or bloodthirsty) Zionists" = 20 points "Massacre" = 50 points "Nazi" = 100 points Photos/videos: Israeli soldiers = 10 points Warplanes in action = 10 pts Explosions = 50 points. Palestinian: "victims of Israeli aggression" = 10 points "victims of Israeli crimes" = 30 points (Palestinian) "home-made rockets," "tinny rockets," etc. = 50 points "Concentration camp victims = 50 points." Photos/Videos: Adult martyr parades" = 50 points. "Dead babies or children = 1000 points" Example (with words and links to imagery) From Palestinecampaign.org: http://www.palestinecampaign.org/index7b.asp?m_id=1&l1_id=4&l2_id=24&Content_ID=349 other examples, as cited.
