“We are unwavering in our commitment to nonviolence. Due to these beliefs, we oppose the illegal Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. As a result we have come under heavy fire in the Occupied Territories and in the media.

Prime ministerial spokesman Ra’anan Gissin, Israel’s point-man for the foreign media, tells Herb Keinon how the government’s controversial ‘restraint’ policy is helping it turn the tide in the crucial battle with the Palestinians over international public opinion. “I come from nowhere, and they call me nobody,” Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s adviser Ra’anan Gissin chortles, unexpectedly quoting actor Terence Hill from the 1973 “spaghetti” western My Name is Nobody.

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon yesterday conducted his first intensive meeting on Israel’s public relations policies since taking office, meeting for more than two hours at his Jerusalem residence with top officials in the Foreign Ministry and the Prime Minister’s Office. Sharon was quoted as telling the meeting that Israel should make a point of emphasizing the Jewish right to the land, because it is too often forgotten. He also said that, while Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat should not be personally attacked, the corruption in the authority has not been emphasized enough.
