Ep. 22
In this episode of Daily Dive, Adam and Amy dive into the world of hasbara, Israel’s public diplomacy strategy, exploring the two-part examination of how Israel navigates and influences global opinion. From traditional lobbying to the sophisticated strategies of “Hasbara 2.0,” Adam and Amy unpack how this approach uses propaganda and digital tactics—such as astroturfing and online trolling—to shape narratives around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Through critical insights from both texts, they discuss hasbara’s attempts to sway public opinion and the ethical questions it raises, particularly concerning its failure to address Palestinian perspectives. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on the complexities of public diplomacy in the digital age and the power—and limitations—of narrative control.
