FROM HARVARD YARD TO HAGUE'S COURT: THE WAR ON ISRAEL'S IMAGE
Faced with an ongoing assault on its legitimacy, Israel is often portrayed as ostracized in the Middle East and isolated elsewhere. Amotz Asa-El refutes this impression. Surveying both sides' tactics in this war, he exposes their strengths and weaknesses, argues that Israel is doing better than many assume, and prescribes a formula for the anti-Israeli propaganda machine’s defeat
