Israeli PR fails the “decent, honest and truthful” test
redress.cc — Stuart Littlewood shows how Israeli public relations fodder pumped out in London and Tel Aviv fails a crucial PR test. He argues that, if the Palestinians and other Arab were to get their media act together, they could “make mincemeat” of Israeli propaganda.

Poverty is increasing here in the U.S., while they have free health care and free education. It appears they helped forge false documents and used our military to invade Iraq.

Israel, of course, is an ethnocracy with racist laws, not a democracy as we know it in the West. This week an Israeli human rights organization, Gisha, is appealing against a decision by Israel’s so-called ‘democracy’ banning radio advertisements to highlight the plight of Palestinian students enrolled at foreign universities but prevented by Israel from leaving the Gaza Strip. The director-general of the Broadcast Authority said the subject was “politically and ideologically controversial”.
I wonder if the Ambassador is aware that in the UK PR campaigns are supposed to observe rules set down by the Advertising Standards Authority? In short, all marketing communications must be legal, decent, honest and truthful. The main difficulty for Israeli PR, as others have pointed out, is that Israel is probably the world's worst brand, followed closely by Zionism. Any marketing effort that is remotely decent, honest or truthful would sink both. - wkenri, on 08/30/2008, -0/+1Does the US govt. really need to send my tax dollars to that racist, fascist zionist *****?
