Hearts and Minds
Uses Israel’s public diplomacy efforts during the second intifada (2000–2005) as a prime example of interactions between state security, diplomacy, and the media. Small-scale wars, terrorism, and guerilla warfare, each characterized by low-intensity violence are the new global reality in the twenty-first century. States in general, and liberal democratic states in particular, are compelled to develop a new operational approach to deal with these phenomena. At the same time the world of diplomacy is experiencing its own upheaval, its old closed-door practices being displaced by the demand for ongoing public diplomacy. Concurrent with these developments, individuals and nongovernmental org...
Jewish Men Pray
A celebration of Jewish men's voices in prayer—to strengthen, to heal, to comfort, to inspire from the ancient world up to our own day. "An extraordinary gathering of men—diverse in their ages, their lives, their convictions—have convened in this collection to offer contemporary, compelling and personal prayers. The words published here are not the recitation of established liturgies, but the direct address of today's Jewish men to ha-Shomea Tefilla, the Ancient One who has always heard, and who remains eager to receive, the prayers of our hearts." —from the Foreword by Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson, DHL This collection of prayers celebrates the variety of ways Jewish men engage in per...
Beyond the Promised Land
After half a century of enmity between Jew and Arab, two decades of occupation, and six years of bloody intifada, Israeli leaders are doing the unthinkable--shaking hands with their Arab adversaries. Pulitzer Prize-winner Glenn Frankel unlocks the story behind Israel's current upheaval and the magnitude of its about face.

The Trouble with Textbooks
School textbooks in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and elsewhere in the Arab and Muslim worlds are filled with anti-Western and anti-Israel propaganda. Most readers will be shocked to discover that history and geography textbooks widely used in America's elementary and secondary classrooms contain some of the very same inaccuracies about Jews, Judaism, and Israel. Did you know that 'there is no record of any important Jewish contribution to the sciences?' (World Civilizations, Thomson Wadsworth). Or that 'Christianity was started by a young Palestinian named Jesus?' (The World, Scott Foresman/Pearson). Supplemental materials and other classroom influences are even worse. The Trouble with Textbook...
Global Broadcasting Systems
Global Broadcasting Systems (1996) provides a comprehensive look at broadcasting throughout the world. It covers every continent, region and almost every country in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania. Within each geographical area, it presents the history, key issues, trends and status of broadcasting facilities and penetration; the control, regulation and management of networks and stations by government, domestic and foreign industry and the public; the financing of broadcasting systems; programming types and trends, including foreign imports; media freedom and censorship; and external radio and television services from other countries. The book discusses how new technology and political, social and economic factors influence the global media, and shows how increasing privatization has changed patterns of control and access.
Israel and the Foreign Media
This book is a semi-biographical account of Daniel Seaman, former director of the Israeli Government Press Office (GPO), and his 25 years of working with foreign journalists in the GPO, coupled with an analysis of the impact that foreign media coverage of Israel has had on both public perception and diplomatic policy. It relates the untold story of decades-long manipulation involved in the presentation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by journalists and editors, together with Palestinian operatives, who abused their professional standards in order to create and maintain an ideological narrative. This is a challenging read for those whose opinion on Israel is fixed, but it is a crucial wake-up call for the survival of Western democracy and a free press.
