Hasbara: Public diplomacy in Israel refers to Israel's efforts to communicate directly with citizens of other nations to inform and influence their perceptions, with the aim of garnering support or tolerance for the Israeli government's strategic objectives. Historically, these efforts have evolved from being called "propaganda" by early Zionists (when the term was considered neutral), with Theodor Herzl advocating such activities in 1899, to the more contemporary Hebrew term "hasbara" introduced by Nahum Sokolow, which translates roughly to "explaining". This communicative strategy seeks to justify actions and is considered reactive and event-driven.

"There‘s no indiscriminate attack on Lebanon going on. Israel targets Hezbollah infrastructure and fighters specifically." -You

UN Peacekeepers? Hezbollah.

Clearly marked journalists? Definitely Hezbollah.

Toddlers wandering around? Believe it or not, Hezbollah.

Hezbollah launches attacks from right next to UN troop bases. This is well documented. Civilians get hurt if military objectives are hidden among civilians. That is also well documented.

Sure there are also a few warcrimes and aggressive action.

I would prefer if this war hadn’t started in the first place.
