[...] “Dictionary to target unsuspecting recipients of the twisted version of the truth. Don’t say “Jewish Settlements” – say “Jewish Villages, Towns, or Communities.” Don’t say “Colonialism” – say “Return to the Homeland.” Don’t say “Palestinian Militants” – say “Palestinian Terrorist.” Don’t say “West Bank” – say “Judea and Samaria.” Don’t say “Resistance” – say “Terrorists, Fundamentalists, Insurgents.” Don’t say “Martyr” – say “Suicide Bombers.” You get the picture?” read more @ http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2004/11/19/dont-say-say-dictionary/ [...]

Great post Haitham.
This Don’t Say – Say dictionary is a very strong tool that is used to brainwash people and convince them of what is unconvincable.

The other day we were watching TV and this reporter on CNN was talking about the “Israeli war of independence”.

Now, let’s say we Arabs and Muslims are not dumb enough to buy that no matter how many times we hear it, but other people all over the world will believe it because they don’t know better, and that’s where the strong support for Israel comes from for example.

It’s a very sensitive and important issue.

It reminds me of some of the debate that went on in the U.S. a while back on suicide bomber/homicide bomber, terrorist/resistance terminology. I really get disgusted at the intentional lack of distinction between legitimate resisistance and terrorism. Some have even gone so far as to equate any support or sympathy for the Palestinian people with endorsing “terrorism”.The same goes for recognition that the Iraqi people have a right to resist occupation. Blurring the lines serves them quite well.

well the media is one of the strongest weapons and i think Arabs should use it to fight back. look at it, since 9/11, wenever anything happens its “terrorism” for example. I think Radio Sawa and probably AL7urra which r American, use this say-dont say theory all the time
