Человеческий фронт Израиля
Перед студентами, считавшими израильтян плохими людьми, в Бундестаге и мэрии Берлина я снова убедился в силе публичной дипломатии, но также и в понимании, что доверие мира зависит от ответственности Израиля перед своими гражданами.
Оценка
A firsthand account from a public diplomacy effort in Berlin reveals the gap between how Israelis see themselves and how others perceive them. The writer encountered students who viewed Israelis as bad people, then engaged with German political institutions. The core insight is that global trust in Israel depends not on messaging alone but on Israel's demonstrated responsibility toward its own citizens. The piece suggests that public diplomacy works only when backed by credible domestic conduct.
