Jewish Week op-ed makes (bad) case for Israel’s boycott law
Lisa Levi tries to defend the undefendable boycott law at The Jewish Week. After making the old case that the Israeli boycott law is anything like the French or the American (simply false claim, as any form of the current boycott movement is perfectly legal in the United States. In fact, a Knesset research report,…

Government Press Office doing PR for the settler movement
It seems that every state agency in Israel is becoming a tool in the effort to further colonize the West Bank and deepen the control over the lives of Palestinians. Soon after the government reached an internal “deal” with the settler movement that would keep the families who settled in a so-called “illegal” outpost on the…

Hasbara: Why does the world fail to understand us?
A short discussion of the Israeli term used to describe the ongoing, ever-growing, national propaganda effort. I have used the word “Hasbara” pretty freely recently, and so do more and more people, without stopping to explain what it actually means. The use of this term has been widespread in Israeli Hebrew for many years now,…

Hasbara videо: The imaginative world of deputy FM Ayalon (UPDATED)
So this is where deputy foreign minister Danny Ayalon exists: In a vast white space populated by magically appearing and reappearing figments of his imagination. Why am I not surprised. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGYxLWUKwWo[/youtube] I wonder if the comment about Israel not trying to occupy the Kingdom of Jordan being a “painful compromise” is the official position of…

Information ministry welcomes “Israel in therapy” video
Yesterday we covered here a masterpiece of self-defeating propaganda showing “Israel” as a distressed and paranoid young woman suspicious of people trying to help her and having flashbacks to edited and censored videos of the IDF raid on the marmara. While the initial suspicion was that this was a trailer for Ami Kaufman’s Izzie series,…

“Sexy Israel” getting treatment for flotilla nightmares
(Tlatest update on the role of the Information Ministry can be found here) I’m somewhat of a fool for excruciatingly bad Hasbara videos, but this one surely takes the cake: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKSXXuZRPNM&feature=channel_video_title[/youtube] From this video, we learn “Israel” is massively paranoid, even somewhat hysterical, believing edited second-hand evidence from biased sources (IDF spokesman’s video from the…

Israel’s “pinkwash” makes cynical use of gays & gay rights
Israel’s latest hasbara schtick falls flat in days A couple of days ago, a Youtube video of some guy calling himself Mark popped up. Mark claimed to be an American gay rights activist who decided to broaden his horizons and, going all hog, decided to join the Gaza flotilla, representing the gay rights group of…

Each teen in Israel to adopt a tomb
Not kidding. According to Haaretz, the Education Ministry has found a particularly macabre way of imbibing our young ones with respect for their heritage: Each junior high to high school students will adopt “a memorial or the tomb of a soldier fallen in the War of Independence.” They will be tasked with keeping the tombs…
