Hamas Launches YouTube Style PaluTube To Spread Propaganda


palutube

If intifada isn’t a dirty word in your neighborhood, Hamas has a website for you. Palutube, a YouTube knock-off has been set up to disseminate propaganda from inside the Gaza strip to the rest of the world.

Videos includes footage of fighting, patriotic pro-Hamas songs, and praise of suicide bombers. The site is available in a number of languages, however most titles and footage are in Arabic.

The war for the hearts and minds on the internet continues, with both sides targeting messages to the outside world. As we reported December 30, the Israeli Defence Force recently established its own official YouTube channel, with similar footage of fighting from the war.

  4. The world must see the magnitude of the crime that Israel commited in Gaza Strip. The media was not allowed in Gaza during the bombard attack on Gaza to hide the barbaric act against the inocent children, women and the people of Palestine.

  5. Amsterdam, your coments don't make any sense. Please be more specific so I can respond to your allegation accordingly, and by the way, you need to watch some unbiased TV stations that bring objective news to the public.

    Yeah like Al Jazeerah! Please Fahed anyone one with intelligence and common sense knows that this was a crime of mutual ignorance. Hamas misguidedly believes that it can cause Israel to give up by turning world opinion against them. Hamas continues to blatantly ignore cease fires and the whines when Israel retaliates. Israel doe snot practice the same proportional response Hamas is used to receiving from the West and now the citizens of Palestine are paying for the hubris of it's “elected” government. I do grieve for the loss of life amongst the Palestinian civilians, but they also are not completely innocent. (Other than the children) This is what happens during war, and do not kid yourself this is war. If the people of Palestine want peace, they need to elect a government willing to actually work towards that goal.

  8. Doug, the people in Gaza have been undersieged for over two years, deprived from life essentials such as food, medical supplies, etc.. which was the main reason for Hamas to demand Israel to comply with the truce treaty which encompassed the cease fire. Israel didn't hold its end of the agreement.
