Minister Gilad Erdan has organized a secret conference in Jerusalem, with 150 top supporters of Israel. American right wing pollster Frank Luntz [who has earlier stated that Zionism is becoming a dirty word for US elites] presented statistics:
- The Ministry of Tourism's attempt to market Israel as a cool destination (girls and bikinis) has failed.The new, or not so new, agenda put forward by Luntz and co: Israel's supporters should say that they are in favour of a dialogue and peace-building through diplomacy, and accuse BDS supporters of obstructing dialogue, and spreading hate.
- Jewish American students have an increasingly negative image of Israel:-Just 42% believe Israel wants peace.- No less than 21% believe the US should side with the Palestinians.
-Just 38% believe "Israel is civilized and Western".
-Just 31% believe Israel is a democracy.
It's the end of the fourth, fifty seconds left on the clock and the occupiers of Palestine are down forty eight points. This is their third and last time-out. My bet is that they are going to make one more pass attempt and if that fails then they have no choice but to fake a hand off and then push the U.S. into a war on their behalf.
