A comprehensive new academic study reveals the sophisticated, coordinated strategy behind Palestinian political mobilization—and why Jewish communities need to understand it
Shortly after 10/7, I joined an international group of media and communications professionals focused on developing a coordinated public relations response to the rising wave of antisemitism. Unfortunately, after months of work and discussion, the group could not agree on a message, an approach, or virtually anything else. While our enemies play chess, we argue about how to set up the pieces.
Yes, and also China and the West. Russians called it active measures. China calls it cognitive domain operations. The US may be dominant on the physical battlefield, but our adversaries have spent decades honing their skills at ideological subversion and propaganda.
Very true - they have consistent messaging . Every PR statement / media appearance contains “ genocide” “ ethnic cleansing” ” famine/starvation”. We have a lot to learn.
As someone who is neither Jewish nor Palestinian but tries to follow concerns of both, might the author of this essay, or readers, comment in a comparative way. Do you think that Jewish activists are less networked than Palestinian ones? It appears to me there's a lot of networking among Jews.
