Benjamin Netanyahu: Political and Diplomatc Doctrine
Bemjamin Netanyahu: the most influential statesman in Israel during the last three and a half decades: as ambassador to the United Nations, as opposition leader and as Prime Minister.
You can like Netanyahu or you can dislike him, but first you should get to know him!
If you know how to answer correctly on these two questions you can skip the lecture:
Does Benjamin Netanyahu support a Palestinian State or is he against it?
Does Benjamin Netanyahu hold a rightwing ideology or a left one?
If not, this lecture id for you!
A fascinating, witty and funny lecture. JUST FACTS!
So, what’s the story with Israel’s Public Diplomacy?
To answer this basic and important question and much more, for the first time a new and comprehensive lecture that every Jew and supporter of the State of Israel must hear on the subject of diplomacy and Public Diplomacy. Have you thought to yourself:
• How come Qatar, an extremist, non-democratic country that supports terrorism, succeeds in its Public Diplomacy, whereas Israel, a democratic state, fails?
• What is considered good Public Diplomacy? Is it even possible to measure success in Public Diplomacy?
Jewish American or American Jews?
The Jewish American community is by far the largest Jewish diaspora in the world. The American Jewry is an important player, with a lot of power and influence. The lack of real familiarity causes a lack of communication that may cause serious misunderstandings in a number of issues (Reform/Conservative Praying in the Western Wall plaza, The ‘Conversion Dilemma’ and so forth). It is time for Israelis to get to know their brothers-sisters, their real partners’.
