Get 10% off your Artza box here – https://www.artzabox.com/discount/EYLON Recorded back in March, this special part 2 of our deep-dive with renowned British author and commentator Douglas Murray, we turn the spotlight to the implications for Western democracies and the stakes at play for not just Israel but the Western World. How do democracies like Israel battle a terrorist organization like Hamas on the information front? What happens behind closed doors when world leaders, journalists, and spokespersons debate the truth? Douglas gives a raw, unfiltered look into the invisible battlefield: one waged on TV screens, in headlines, and through viral tweets. This is the side of the war you won’t see on the news. 👇 Key topics in this episode:
Douglas’s take on the moral confusion in the West
Why the media war is as important as the military one
The tactics Israel uses to brief foreign press
How Hamas manipulates civilian imagery for global gain
The unseen challenges Israeli spokespeople face
What a real strategy for global messaging could look like
