The Israeli Reality

The My Israel website appears to be a fascinating project aimed at showing Israel's beauty to the world: Some 600 high-quality photos stitched together and incorporated into a website allowing users to tour the picture and choose different parts of the country to focus on.


Fascinating –until one starts reading what it's about. When entering the site, users receive a navigation message warning them not to click on the green button. Naturally, everyone clicks on the green button.


If you're wondering what happens once this is done, we won't keep you in suspense: The website's blue color turns into green and the name "My Israel" is replaced with "My Palestine".


A cheap, simple and effective trick. The website's creators have reached their goal –intimidation.

The projects' creators did not just settle for a picture in their quest to make their point completely clear.


Along with the change of name and color, a navigation button can also be found on the screen, and clicking on different areas in the picture will significantly enlarge them. Thus, you can see a plane taking off from Ben-Gurion Airport, Tel Aviv's Azrieli Towers and vehicles driving on Highway 6.


On the right-hand side of the screen there is a menu presenting the types of missiles possessed by potential enemies, which are capable of reaching the target you are watching.

Are you prepared to defend Israel in the battle on campus?

10-Step September Emergency Mobilization Guide This month, the Palestinian Authority will be bringing the issue of Palestinian statehood to a vote at the United Nations. Instead of recognizing and negotiating with Israel for a two-state solution, the PA is attempting to isolate Israel and increase regional tensions. Are you prepared to defend Israel in the battle on campus? Here is a quick strategy and resources for mobilizing: 1. Know the facts. · Remember the basic points: Israelis want peace, and have made sacrifices for peace. But Israelis do not currently have a partner for peace in the Palestinian leadership, which rejects negotiations, does not recognize Israel as a Jewish state, and encourages incitement against the Jewish people.   · The United States and Israel stand together on this issue.      · Sign up for the Hasbara Fellowships newsletter to receive the latest talking points,   news, and exclusive briefings. Learn more about Israel and the conflict via "Issues In-Depth" or "Israel Inside/Out."      2. Table on campus. · Set up a table in a high-traffic area on campus.   · Use Hasbara Fellowships' newest campaign,"Friend Request Pending..." to engage students and campus communities, demonstrating that a lasting solution requires    cooperation. Using a Facebook theme, this campaign explains that Israel has tried to    make 'friends' with its neighbors, but the friendship has rarely been reciprocated. · HF has many other posters and cards available, on topics including Hamas terror and the situation in Sderot, the threat of a nuclear Iran, and human rights and equality in Israel. Use our innovative campaigns and materials to engage students about the real path to peace in the Middle East.   · More tips for tabling. 3. Hold a rally or demonstration. · Hold a rally or campus march for peace in the Middle East. Make sure to emphasize    that cooperation is the only solution for real peace. Make posters and materials to    hand out. Mobilize your pro-Israel group, Jewish community and coalition partners to    attend. Hold your event in a public space on campus, and invite campus media to    cover it. Contact your HF staff for help. · Good resources for signs include Hasbara Fellowships' handouts and fact cards,    StandWithUS posters and booklets, and BlueStarPR posters about peace and coexistence. · More ideas for rallying and tabling here. 4. Write to your paper. · Write an op-ed or a letter in your student newspaper. Enter the op-ed ultimate challenge for cash prizes and recognition. · Tips for writing letters or op-eds. 5. Spread the word. · Maximize the power of social media to get your message out. Spread online petitions  via Facebook and Twitter, and post videos for YouTube.   6. Recruit. · Use the opportunity to mobilize those who support Israel, but may not yet be active.    Recruit new people to the pro-Israel movement, and give them opportunities to learn    more and get involved.  7. Update partners and build coalitions. · Building coalitions on campus is one of the best ways to create a large and diverse    network of pro-Israel friends on campus. Now is a crucial time to reach out to    coalition partners to educate them on the situation, assure them of the reasons to  support Israel, and ask them to sign a statement of support for US and Israeli positions. · Have a new group you want to partner with?
