Israel’s government will do and say anything to cover its atrocities

Posted on January 10, 2019January 10, 2019 By rayhanania No Comments on Israel’s government will do and say anything to cover its atrocities

Israel’s government will do and say anything to cover its atrocities How Israel used strategic public relations communication to veil its atrocities and instead sell itself falsely as a benevolent Democracy that is the victim of blood-lusting anti-semitic Arabs. By Ray Hanania Israel’s government will do anything to distract the world from its human rights…

Seeing through anti-Trump anger to achieve peace

Posted on August 13, 2018September 29, 2018 By rayhanania No Comments on Seeing through anti-Trump anger to achieve peace

Seeing through anti-Trump anger to achieve peace Extremist activists have managed to hold Palestine hostage to their unattainable demands, which would essentially return the clock to 1947 before Israel was established by the United Nations with the overbearing influence of the United States. By Ray Hanania Nearly two years into President Donald Trump’s term in…

Time to rise above anger when confronting Israeli extremism

Posted on February 15, 2018September 29, 2018 By rayhanania 4 Comments on Time to rise above anger when confronting Israeli extremism
Time to rise above anger when confronting Israeli extremism

Time to rise above anger when confronting Israeli extremism Palestinians are justified in their anger and frustrations, but allowing our emotions to direct our actions is not a good strategic move. Instead, we need to set aside our anger and emotion and instead pursue a pragmatic strategy based on one goal of establishing a Palestinian…

It’s not about the money, but the PR power

It’s not about the money, but the PR power

It’s not about the money, but the PR power After winning a popular American TV reality series on cooking, actor Kal Penn recently donated $25,000 to the UNRWA which helps Palestinian refugees. It may not sound like a lot of money but it has significant PR power to help educate Americans about the truth of…

Effective PR would easily flip American public opinion on Palestine

Posted on May 5, 2016September 24, 2018 By rayhanania No Comments on Effective PR would easily flip American public opinion on Palestine
Effective PR would easily flip American public opinion on Palestine

The PEW Research Center released a new poll that shows that a majority of Americans admit they sympathize with Israel and only a small portion support the Palestinians. While it reflects fundamental American racism and an ignorance about the facts of Middle East justice, that can easily be turned around with a simple but effective PR…

Israelis master PR far more than Palestinians

Posted on February 10, 2016 By rayhanania 4 Comments on Israelis master PR far more than Palestinians
Israelis master PR far more than Palestinians

Israel writes, produces, distributes and advocates for more press releases than all of the Arab World combined. That should be shocking but most Arabs don’t even know what I’m talking about. By Ray Hanania For the average person, this doesn’t mean much. But in terms of the bottom line, it could make a significant difference in…

Palestinian failures come down to absence of strategic PR

The greatest power in America and the world is strategic communications. It can make the truth look like a lie, and a lie look like the truth. While Israel masters the art of strategic communications, the Arab World has failed to use it resulting in the increasing world stereotypes that are driving the devastation of the…

UAE helps soccer but what about Arab image?

Posted on July 19, 2015September 29, 2018 By rayhanania No Comments on UAE helps soccer but what about Arab image?
UAE helps soccer but what about Arab image?

The Arab image and image of the Muslim world is a shambles in America, bludgeoned and “slibeled” nearly every day by paid anti-Arab activists and by the mainstream American News Media. The media is in a pro-Israel headlock that prohibits and discourages full and accurate information about the Arab that might expose Israel’s governments atrocities through critical…
