Israel has an incitement problem
Israeli politicians and pundits make sure to talk about Palestinian incitement at every opportunity. Rarely do we ever hear about Israeli incitement that denies both Palestinian history and present reality. By Yoni Mendel In Israeli public discourse, the phrase “Palestinian incitement” makes an appearance time and again. One can hear it in the news by members…

The making of a hasbara superstar, Israel’s new ambassador to the UK
For the past decade Mark Regev has become Israel’s preeminent government mouthpiece. Now, as the world prepares to mark 50 years of occupation, Netanyahu appoints a hasbara heavyweight to represent him in the UK.

Why I had to leave Israel’s Foreign Ministry
As a former Israeli ambassador, I never expected just how badly the country’s situation would deteriorate. By Ilan Baruch It has been five years since I breathed a sigh of relief and left Israel’s Foreign Ministry building.

A private, low-profile ‘public diplomacy’ outfit is setting out to train ‘Secret Hasbara Agents.’ But don’t worry, it’s not propaganda. A private Israeli hasbara – or “public diplomacy” – organization on Wednesday put out one of the weirdest responses yet to the incitement campaign by far-right group Im Tirzu of two weeks ago.

Israel is egging the boycott movement on
In attempting to hold off European plans to label West Bank settlement products, Israel could easily overplay its hand. The Netanyahu government’s bunker mentality will only increase international isolation.

‘I Am a Refugee’: Israel’s splashy new victimhood campaign
Message: The Palestinian refugees have nothing on the ‘Jewish Refugees from Arab Countries.’ As if Israel hasn’t been playing the victim long enough, as if it hasn’t exploited the Six Million to the absolute limit, now comes a new weapon: the “Jewish Refugees from Arab Countries.” This has long been an Israeli answer to the…
