Some great Publicity quotes (and my thoughts):

• “The very minute a thought is threatened with publicity it seems to shrink towards mediocrity” Oliver Wendell Holmes (Israel should keep more secrets)
• “Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman.” Louis D. Brandeis (Unfortunately for Israel the light shines onIsrael unequally)
• “Know that the amount of criticism you receive may correlate somewhat to the amount of publicity you receive.” Donald Rumsfeld (Unfair how the only democracy in Middle East is constantly condemned)
• “The effect of power and publicity on all men is the aggravation of self, a sort of tumor that ends by killing the victim’s sympathies” Henry Brooks (Israeldeserves more sympathy)
• “Democratic nations must try to find ways to starve the terrorist and the hijacker of the oxygen of publicity on which they depend.” Margaret Thatcher

In recent Israel hasbara news:

• Both Haifa University and Tel Aviv University are now offering programs in Hasbara – Haifa for Israelis, and Tel Aviv for visiting foreign students.  Its very good that Israeli Universities are now offering Public Relations  classes on how to defend the Jewish state, as PR is part and parcel of any war.
• Three time Major League Baseball All Star Kevin Youkilis plans to play for Team Israel at the World Baseball Classic (WBC) in March 2013 if the team qualifies – It’s a good thing and exciting.
