Ukraine conflict gives Palestinians chance to redefine their conflict
By Ray Hanania
#RussianInvasion of #Ukraine has given #Palestinians an opportunity to confront #Israel’s lies and #propaganda, but it requires a steady focus to develop an effective #publicrelationsstrategy.
It should start by focusing on the #Americanpublic, which has shown gut-wrenching revulsion and extreme outrage to issues of #occupation, #boycotts, #refugees and #ExtraJudicialKillings. @ArabNews Right now, the Palestinians don’t have an effective strategy at all.
The key to a good strategy is to define the issues “Occupation,” “Refugees,” “boycotts” and “extra-judicial killings” in the context of both Ukraine by Russia and Palestine by Israel, and then direct that message to the most important target audience, the American Public.
Emphasize the “Christian” aspect of the suffering in Palestine because America is a majority Christian nation.
And stop making emotion the foundation of Paleastinian activist marketing PR campaigns.
