    New trends on international communication The Rotary Club of Newport-Balboa, Corona del Mar, CA, 92625 September, 23, 2009, Teresa La Porte Assistant Professor of International Political Communication . Last July 24th 2008, the New York Times published a story on a new communication strategy started by Hamas, the Islamic fundamentalist group of Palestine. The headlines said: “Hamas shifts from rockets to culture war”. And latter explains: “Hamas has suspended its use of rockets and shifted focus to winning support at home and abroad through cultural initiatives and public relations”. After describing some of the events organized with that purpose (such as a theater play, a movie premiere, a presentation of a book of poems), the New York Times highlights a statement of the minister of culture from Gaza (Osama Alisawi): “We are not terrorists but resistance fighters, and we want to explain our reality to the outside world. We want the writers and intellectuals of the world to come and see how people are suffering on a daily basis”. I do not know yet what the reaction of other countries was, but at least in Spain, only some days later from this story, main newspapers brought out a report on Palestine children trying to get a Guinness Award. The challenge was to fly simultaneously the largest number of kites ever: pictures showed a beach, packed with young Palestinians trying to fly three thousand kites. Although nobody from Guinness World Records was there to register the event, the strategy set by Hamas had achieved it first hit being present in Spanish front pages with a different image.

Murder and hatred are the two most serious crimes in society.

  • JIPF-Bladet 2012-4
    Nr 4, Dec. 2012 Med röstsiffrorna 138 för och 9 emot har Palestina blivit erkänt som en stat av FNs Generalförsmling. Till och med Sverige röstade Ja. De som röstade Nej var Kanada, Tjeckien, Israel, U.S.A., Panama, Marshallöarna, Palau, Nauru, och Micronesien. Palestina har nu samma ställning i FN som t. ex. Vatikanstaten. Och Israels svarar med att besluta att 3000 nya bostäder ska byggas i Östra Jerusalem samt konfiskera 460 000 000 shekel av palestinska skatteintäkter. Här hemma kan vi glädjas åt att Sveriges hållning stöddes av samtliga riksdagspartier utom SD. Det senaste Gazakriget slutade med ”bara” knappt 200 döda. Att det inte blev värre, kan vi tacka Egyptens president Morsi för. Han lyckades få Israel att förhandla med Hamas. Men även om kriget är över, är det nyttigt att veta hur det startade. Nu är dags att planera JIPFs nästa steg. Att förmå Sverige och EU att kräva ursprungsmärkning av produkter från bosättningarna. Hittills har EU bara ”belönat” Israel, senast med det nya ACAA avtalet. Och om ni läser det här före den 9/12 - glöm inte hannukahfesten!

  • Jerusalem's Decreasing Isolation
    Israel in the World Jerusalem’s Decreasing Isolation by Efraim Inbar he bad news is clear. Israel’s right to exist is questioned by many, and its ancient and present capital, Jerusalem, is unrecognized by all but a few states. Israeli T leaders are sometimes compared to leaders of Nazi Germany, and Israeli ac- tions against the Palestinians are described as Nazi-like policies. Moreover, the Israelis are accused of engaging in South African apartheid policies toward the Palestinians and the country’s Arab minority. Opponents and critics portray the Jewish state as the world’s worst violator of human rights, United Nations resolutions, and international law.1 As a result of these global attitudes, many Israelis feel their country to be once more alone and increasingly isolated in the international community. An August 2010 poll showed that 56 percent of Jewish Israelis subscribed to the view that the “whole world is against us.” Even a larger majority, 77 percent, thought that it made no difference what the Israeli government did and how far it might go on the Palestinian issue: The world would continue to be critical regardless of the facts.2 The extensive media coverage of the April 2002 “Jenin massacre” fabrications, the infamous Goldstone report of September 2009, and the Gaza “Freedom Flotilla” of May 2010, among other things, provided evidence to Israelis of hostile international press reporting, which buttressed their perceptions that Israel is under international siege. Israel’s political leaders have repeatedly expressed their concern

Giurgiului nu HA’ATZMAUT a fost vândut nici un metru de teren SAMEAH! din zona afectată mormintelor Fundația Eco-Civica a publicat recent pe Facebook un material in- titulat „Se vând morții pentru ben- zinării”. Articolul este incorect și tendențios și FCER-CM a luat ati- tudine față de respectivele afirmații, în sprijinul adevărului și al dreptului cititorilor de a primi informații reale, obiective și verificate. Adevărul este că pe terenul pe care va fi amplasată benzinăria și care avea intrare separată față de cimitir nu au fost niciodată nici mor- minte, nici monumente funerare, deci e fals să susții că „se vând morții pentru benzinării”. Pe acolo trecea un drum de acces spre un garaj care adăpostea inclusiv autovehiculele mortuare. În consecință, acest te- ren nu făcea parte din cimitir, iar pe el nu erau arbori, nu avea statut de spațiu verde. Ca atare, argumentele Eco-Civica de genul că „nu prea e moral să facem benzinărie în cimi- tir” și că „cimitirele sunt spații verzi” sunt, cum spuneam la început, inco- recte și tendențioase. Subliniem că, în conformitate cu religia mozaică, pe locul unde se află un mormânt nu se pot face niciodată nici un fel de lucrări. 73 de ani de independență a Israelului În articolul postat de fundația amintită, aceasta vehiculează o se- Ierusalim: sau în grădinile zoologice.
