31. #6 Polly want a cracker? We've heard you, now scram!
(01.31.11)
32. #28. Abie:Don't feed the troll
Thomas ,   Dixieland USA   (01.31.11)
This is an inveterate professional antisemite who spends his miserable life on Jewish forums spouting nonsense. Just ignore it and eventually will disappear for lack of response. There were many like this one overe here until they gone with the wind. They congregate on Haaretz: they are among friends.... Many - seemingly paid - troll inhabit that rag echoing each other's crap. This cause them an orgasm.
33. To Salma

Ask anyone in research (as I have) the word that follows Palestinian and the #1 addition is Terrorist. So, when it comes to world image the best your side comes up with is terrorist and you are mostly proud of that. After that there words like despondency or incompetence. I think I'll take Lieberman over that.
34. Good move Lieberman!
Jay3 ,   Israel   (01.31.11)
Finally a politician with some brains and intuition, tackling the massive propaganda put out around the world against Israel
35. Regardless of all the comments, the basic question remains
Jonathan ,   London, England   (01.31.11)
why have a network of European PR companies. Why not recruit one company to do the project across Europe. That must make more sense. Why spend time and money briefing lots of agencies, getting lots of different messages across different countries. Save the money and employ one agency and then you will have a common message across Europe and it would be cheaper as well.
36. abrakadabra
(01.31.11)
it is right that any pr is worthless without progressin peace, still its not easy as hokus pokus....
37. Smart move...
Christian Rogler ,   Bernburg, Germany   (01.31.11)
... but don't expect too much of it. Europe has always been beyond the first to fall for totalitarian ideologies, for authoritarianism, for socialism, now for islamofascism and in general for everything that is opposed to diversity and freedom. Throughout the centuries Europe outlawed, expelled and killed its Jews, drove out nonconformist people to the USA and now hides its guilt by developing arrogance against the US and Israel. Most people within the mainstream media in Europe can not be reached anymore by mere facts or talking points. They get brainwashed by Arab propaganda simply because they want to.
38. PR Firms
David ,   LA, USA   (01.31.11)
It seems to me that it isn't Israeli image that needs fixing, it's Israeli policy. No PR firm in the world can help with that.
39. PR hahahahaha
Ismael Shafer   (01.31.11)
Good luck. Save yourselve some time and just trow the money in the sea....start to feel the heat yet, Egypt falls .......game over, America in shambels.......checkmate ........
40. ABOUT TIME TOO
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (01.31.11)
It'll be money well spent. Certainly,with regard to Britain,Israel's spokesmen are inadequate.They do their best but sometimes make matters worse.They're no match for the local detractors. LEAVE IT TO THE EXPERTS!! THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
41. With this minister and these talkbacks, Israel is doomed!!
michael   (01.31.11)
42. Israel's problem is not shortage of hitech, culture or food
(01.31.11)
Why would the world change sides by learning more about Israel's hi-tech, tourism , culture and food? I just don't get it. Its insane. European PR firms should be left to decide for themselves what message might be welcomed by European audiences, because Israelis themselves seem to be congenitally incapable of understanding how to make a good impression
43. This is all...
FG   (01.31.11)
...becasue of one factor, and one factor only. The European media megaconglomerates' constant round-the-clock anti-Israel syren voices, which is nothing, but pure unadulterated BS, 24/7. Go Israel and Go Lieberman!
44. Thanks for the tip, Cameron
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (02.01.11)
Our little pariah state is forever in gratitude for our great American savior.
45. To #31
Philip ,   Afula, Israel   (02.01.11)
A coward without a name.
46. PR for Israel in Europe and the World
marioiz ,   Jerusalem-IL   (02.01.11)
Jewish communities around the world should help carry the financial burden of such a PR move as envisioned by Îsraeli FM. It concerns them too.
47. First Manhattan?
(02.01.11)
Is the headline "Taking Berlin" a reference joke to Leonard Cohen?
48. No 25 split
Alf Red, Londonistan ,   UK - Israel   (02.01.11)
Yes, there are contries a bit smaller, and they are all surrounded by much bigger ones BENT ON ANNIHILATING them. Poor Andorra! How long would it exist in a surrounding like Israel's. And how myopic or malignant or just plain stupid should be one to post such talkbacks like yours.
49. Establish secret fund of $10 million to target all
Yossi ,   Australia   (02.01.11)
EU left-wing parties, enabling the right wing ones to win in elections. Then Israel will be left in peace!
50. 28 - ... surrounded by enemies who want to destroy them
split ,   US   (02.01.11)
Yes you're , since the begining of time everywhere you dwelt - Again , ask yourself , why ? ,...
51. It's not about Lieberman
Darren ,   Santa Fe, USA   (02.01.11)
This is a long overdue decision of the Israeli Government and it has nothing to do with the genius or lackoff of Lieberman. 3 Million Euro per country is peanuts but its a start. The Anti-Israel propaganda machine is enormous and getting more sofisticated. It isn't about Palestinian State. They want Israel to disappear.
52. patcarmeli@hotmail.com
Pat Carmeli ,   Cazenovia NY USA   (02.02.11)
All the best PR firms in the world can't dig Israel out of the catastrophic image problem it has been working overtime to create.
53. We LOVE YOU Israel. World opinion is worthless ...
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (02.02.11)
the majority of them are baseless Jew haters anyway. I for one will continue to holiday in Israel and nowhere else, you have such a fascinating historic country and culture. Screw world opinion!
54. waste of money
sarah pali ,   nice one   (02.04.11)
....putting lipstick on a pig....
