Fradulent and Dishonest Propaganda from Arab Sources

White, Gray, and Black Propaganda
A Palestinian propaganda source is posting black propaganda in soc.culture.israel and other newsgroups. This means posting your side's propaganda and signing the other side's name to it. It is a dangerous procedure because it discredits you completely if you get caught at it.

From Paul Myron Anthony Linebarger's* Psychological Warfare, page 44
 
    • White propaganda is issued from an acknowledged source... This type of propaganda is associated with overt psychological operations.
    • Grey propaganda does not clearly identify any source.
    • Black propaganda purports to emanate from a source other than the true one. This type of propaganda is associated with covert psychological operations.
Example of Black Propaganda: "Guard Against Venereal Diseases"
    Lately there has been a great increase in the number of venereal diseases among our officers and men owing to prolific contacts with Filipino women of dubious character.
    Due to hard times and stricken conditions brought about by the Japanese occupation of the islands, Filipino women are willing to offer themselves for a small amount of foodstuffs. It is advisable in such cases to take full protective measures by use of condoms, protective medicines, etc.; better still to hold intercourse only with wives, virgins, or women of respective [sic] character.
    Furthermore, in view of the increase in pro-American leanings, many Filipino women are more than willing to offer themselves to American soldiers, and due to the fact that Filipinos have no knowledge of hygiene, disease carriers are rampant and due care must be taken.
                              U.S. Army


    (Source: Psychological Warfare, page 123). Do you think this was an anti-VD leaflet that was given to American troops? It was actually dropped on Filipinos by the Japanese! The Japanese propagandists wanted Filipinos to believe that the United States was the origin of this derogatory material, thereby reducing cooperation with the United States.

* Linebarger was also an eminent Sinologist, and he wrote science fiction under the pen name Cordwainer Smith.

Arab Deployment of Black Propaganda in soc.culture.israel
A terrorist sympathizer is posting anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian propaganda under the name of another user, ArKLyte, in soc.culture.israel.. ArKLyte is a pro-Western regular in that newsgroup. The terrorist sympathizer would have done better to use gray propaganda (posting under a fictitious name) than to impersonate a real user because he got caught very quickly. Here is proof of this individual's actions.

Suspecting%20US%20Motives,%20Arab%20News.htm
Arab News 3 January 2004

Many people believe the US invasion of Iraq was primarily about oil,
not weapons of mass destruction (WMD). There is still no evidence of WMD, but it is indisputable that Iraq has oil.
Note that he cites Arab propaganda organ Al Jazeerah, the same guys who kept telling us how Saddam Hussein was beating the U.S. Army, until the latter rolled into Baghdad. Now look where it's coming from: NNTP-Posting-Host: 213.150.178.38

Come to think of it, wasn't Yasser Arafat from Tunisia?

Vague or Doctored Photos
Arab propaganda sources posted the following picture of an Israeli soldier "menacing a terrified Palestinian family with his rifle." The photograph was too dark to see what was really going on but lightening it with Corel PhotoPaint shows the truth.
(1) The soldier's finger is obviously outside the weapon's trigger guard, where it belongs unless he wants to shoot. Furthermore, he is apparently not looking through the weapon's sights and the butt is not against his shoulder, so he is obviously not planning to shoot anyone.
(2) The child's parents seem more curious than afraid. The woman in the white headscarf is not even looking at the soldier.
(3) Although the weapon's direction of aim is hard to see when the photo is darker, it is obviously pointed nowhere near the family.
