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.
Very sad to read this, as is clear to all by now, we are losing(have lost) the digital war against Israel’s legitimacy . This front is no less dangerous than the 6 front combat war being waged against Israel.
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.
That’s how they do business period. They’ve had generations of control and it’s not changing. I honestly think they aren’t getting all the support they need, do the fundings still go to Hamas? When will they attempt to give them food, shelter, and medicine?? Why aren’t donations controlled by an outside group?
The sooner the excess funds are cut off, the better, they will rearm if possible. It’s not over yet.
Very true - they have consistent messaging . Every PR statement / media appearance contains “ genocide” “ ethnic cleansing” ” famine/starvation”. We have a lot to learn.
How can you do comparable messaging coordination when the one side has to contend with multiple important messages/positions/etc. while the other is united around one single central organizing principle - hate.
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.

Sort of like Putin and the west.

This confirms what intuitively people could see
