From a marketing standpoint, Israel’s strategy should establish an “us versus them” narrative. Terrorists are bad, not Israel!
- Deploy AI: Identify and map hostile actors and their toxic arguments, countering them instantly with viral social media videos.
- Make the Data Accessible: Create an accessible website dashboard where anyone can download raw data, reports, and rebuttals.
- Repeat the Message: Hammer home the truth consistently through a rinse-and-repeat approach.
- Elevate Key Advocates: Highlight articulate supporters like Douglas Murray, Natasha Hausdorff, Eylon Levy, Ben Shapiro, Mansoor Hussain Laghari, Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, and Sheikh Musa Drammeh
- Produce Engaging Podcasts: Launch uncensored, Joe Rogan-style podcasts that interview diverse guests, welcoming valid criticism among advocates.
- Maximize Traditional PR: Maintain a strong presence in news and print media while de-emphasizing flashpoints like Prime Minister Netanyahu.
- Expand Cultural Media: Feature Israel heavily in commercials, TV, and films—making well-captioned Israeli content free and widely promoted.
- Adopt an Offensive Strategy: Shift from defense to offense, utilizing aggressive communicators like Mosab Hassan Yousef (“Son of Hamas”).
- Amplify Reform Voices: Spotlight courageous Muslim figures like Dalia Ziada who speak out.
- Capitalize on the fascination with the Middle East: Highlight shared ties in culture, language, food—much like the success of the show Fauda.
- Promote Israeli Culture: Use organic means to promote Israeli fashion, music, sports, and go around the “big brand” censors.
