...The Israeli public [and world opinion] has been manipulated. Details of the ’100′ call (the local equivalent of 911) and what investigators discovered in the car used for the kidnapping of three Israeli teens earlier this month were well known by security service heads, top ministers — and even journalists — early on in the affair; but not by the public because it was all placed and kept under a tightly held gag order. The blood found in the car, the sound of gun shots in the emergency call, evidence of live ammunition and the fact that there hasn’t been a single instance of two or more people being held hostage in the West Bank in decades – all that led to a single logical assumption: the teens were no longer alive. Yet at the same time, the Israeli public was told the teens were being held by Hamas, and a public campaign calling for their return was launched. This so the IDF would have more legitimacy as it arrested Hamas operatives in the West Bank. The effect however, was to build up hope and hysteria, and make the news of the deaths that much more devastating. 972mag/how-the-public-was-manipulated-into-believing-the-teens-were-alive/92865/
