Campaigns in the Middle East

In recent weeks the class has been learning a lot about media campaigns, debates, and how the media interprets quotes by candidates in order to either use them against them or in favor of them. We see this happening a lot during elections in the United States but most of the time we don't see it happening anywhere else in the world. Most of the time this is do to the media coverage and what they want to report to the people. On the other hands some countries keep most of it hidden or closed off from the rest of the world as well. In a recent article, there is discussion about campaigns to remove the 'Temple Mount' from all the media maps.

The PLO, to which the Palestinian Authority is subservient, has escalated its campaign to remove all connection between Judaism and the site of the destroyed Holy Temples by appealing to international media to stop using the ”inaccurate term Temple Mount.”

“The Al-Aqsa Mosque compound is not a disputed territory and all other terms, therefore, are null and void,” according to a PLO statement published by the official Palestinian Authority WAFA news agency.

It claimed that the Al Aqsa mosque has been under exclusive Muslim sovereignty and control since the construction of the Dome of the Rock in 692 CE, which is a blatant lie.

As the article mentions, the term 'Temple Mount' is inaccurate to use towards the Holy Temples and they are now using the international media in order to spread there message around the world for people to stop using that term. The Holy Temples has been an area of long dispute between Israel and Palestine because each of them claim that the Temple is for them and not for the others. This dispute has been going back for ages now and it seems it will continue on that way for years to come. How do you guys view the campaign being used in the international media? Do you think that it will help or not?
