they cannot put two words together
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was reportedly asked, in a session of the Foreign and Defense Committee, about the state of Israel's public relations in the USA..
PM Netanyahu responded saying that it obviously is not as good as it should be. He denied the reason is due to lack of funding but said that there are not enough good people with a command of the English language. Netanyahu said "I am surrounded by people who cannot put two words together".
Let's not forget that Netanyahu recently tried to fire the consummate professional Eylon Levy, for no good reason, and only left it at leaving him in a limited role because of the public outcry.
And let's not forget that while Netanyahu says he doesnt have enough good people and the people surrounding him cant put two words together, he himself is the one who chooses whom to surround himself with and who to appoint to these positions. Does he want specifically less-qualified people so that he looks better when he does the talking? Does he not appoint qualified people, and try to fire the ones that have been appointed, because they do a good job and it isnt all on him?

90 rockets
This infographic making the rounds is interesting
Impressive
But
But 990 + 200 = 1190, not 1100
I want to know where the last 90 rockets came from. If they didn't come from Gaza, did they come from Lebanon? Were they launched at Israel from outer space? Did Israel knock down some of its own rockets? I am no math whiz but something here does not make sense.

When the Foreign Ministry tries to call your bluff
The Foreign Ministry is playing high school, testing the idea of calling the bluff of the public. They don't really have anything to lose by calling the bluff, except for looking a bit childish when almost saying it explicitly.
A senior employee of the Foreign Ministry said that so many people regularly complain about the lack of effective hasbara and they offer their own ideas.
To that end, the FM is now trying to get people to actually send in those ideas and turn the best ones into reality. The Ministry is creating a contest - anybody in the country can send in a brief hasbara video. They will have a team of Israeli diplomats and hasbara experts select the best video of the submissions. there will be a monetary prize to the winner, the amount of which ha syet to be determined.

The attitude of calling the bluff, or daring the people to actually send in their video ideas, is kind of silly, but the idea is good. The Ministry may or may not have experts working on programs, but that does not mean regular people, private citizens, don't also have great ideas... and why not get people to send those in?
