Ismail Haniyeh
Audience and Agenda:
Although not many details in English could be found on the creator of this video, s/he has created many other satirical videos commenting on aspects of the Israeli government. This video has nearly 4,000 views. YouTube itself has at least 80.6 million US visitors per month.
Usefulness:
This video is not particularly useful in answering my question, but it does provide an interesting look at the Israeli perspective of the Palestinian National Authority and its reaction to the Israeli invasion of 2009. This video implies PNA leader Ismail Haniyeh is incredibly inept and is, in fact, being held hostage by the Israelis, although his “vlog” insists that he has captured an Israeli soldier.
