Israel must be losing too many battles in the war to win global public opinion. This is the conclusion to be drawn from the release of a 66-page document by the Tel Aviv-based Reut Institute, which was followed quickly by a similar report from the Jerusalem Centre for Public Affairs (JCPA). Both documents must be analysed in the context of the media campaign engineered by Israel's extreme right-wing Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, to improve Israel's shattered image which plunged to an all-time low during 2010.
Both reports undertake to address what their authors claim is an urgent existential threat to Israel; they call it the threat of "de-legitimization". What is telling about the two documents is that they address only the symptoms and not the causes of the dilemma facing the Zionist state.
