Israel & Israel advocacy organizations have adopted messages that unwittingly strengthen anti-Israel narratives.

As Israel sends soldiers into Gaza to fight Hamas, Lizzy Oziel & Yehuda HaKohen discuss the challenges and benefits of understanding the narrative of the Other during war.

The two also discuss the failure of the hasbara industry's efforts to properly frame the conflict and effectively present Israel's position.

David Lange grew up in Perth, Australia, assuming his life’s work would be dedicated to building wealth and a family in Australia. In high school, he had some experiences that would nudge him in the direction of Israel, but it was meeting his future wife Erica – later Ahava Emuna – zichrona livracha, that sealed the deal for a future in Israel, and transformed both his life and his life priorities.
I visited David – also known for years as Ozzie Dave of the IsraellyCool blog – in his Bet Shemesh home, where we had a far-ranging discussion about his Aliyah, the cancer battle his wife waged with him by her side, career aspirations in Israel, raising kids and, of course, his Israel advocacy.

Yehuda HaKohen is joined by Vision student organizer Sharon Levy to analyze why the mainstream pro-Israel advocacy organizations have failed so miserably on North American university campuses.

Eve Harow speaks with Gabriel Boxer about the world of ‘influencers’ in particular and social media in general.  The main source of information for many is superficial at best; misleading and even dangerous at worst.  How did a kosher food marketing maven turn into a much followed Israel advocate?   Listen in to hear why it’s not about the power of a bagel. 
Even with a shmear.
