Psychological Warfare in the Intifada: Israeli and Palestinian Media Politics and Military Strategies

The first book of its kind on psychological operations—military actions designed to influence the perceptions and attitudes of individuals, groups, and foreign governments—in Middle East research, it provides a much needed in-depth analysis of the techniques used by both the Israelis and the Palestinians. The volume clarifies the rationales for psychological warfare in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict from 1948 to 1991, examines the development of concepts of offensive and defensive psychological warfare as developed by the Nazis and the Soviets, as well as U.S. and British tactics of persuasion, and the ways the main actors have adapted these tactics to the specifics of the Intifada. Close attention is paid to the formulation and dissemination of Palestinian psychological themes directed at the Arab world, neutral parties and the enemy, and the largely unsuccessful official Israeli attempts to counter them, including official government stances and directives to the Israeli Defense Forces. This book is essential reading for all involved in media studies and military strategy.

Psychological operations (PSYOP) in contemporary conflicts - designed to influence the perceptions and attitudes of individuals, groups, and foreign governments - are still considered confidential by many defense organizations, hence the lack of publications that deal with the topic in a scientific, factual approach. This collection of essays provides an analysis and commentary on PSYOP and examines the following: psychological warfare in the battle against terrorism * PSYOP techniques adopted by different Palestinian groups against Israel * actions that promote the Palestinian cause in the West * Israeli strategies for combating radical Islam * Jewish perspectives on propaganda in the context of Israel's international image problems. The book is a follow-up volume to the author's Psychological Warfare in the Intifada, which was adopted as a textbook by the US Intelligence College and was widely reviewed to critical acclaim.
