Behind the Veil
Israel's compliance with international law has been a subject of intense scrutiny since its establishment in 1948. From alleged breaches of humanitarian norms to violations of specific treaties and conventions, the state’s policies and actions have ignited global debates.
Cultural Propaganda
Israel’s government openly acknowledges its use of cultural initiatives to promote its image and divert attention from its apartheid policies. Former Israeli Foreign Ministry official Nissim Ben-Sheetrit admitted, “We see culture as a propaganda tool of the first rank, and do not differentiate between propaganda and culture.” This strategy, known as the “Brand Israel” campaign, seeks to present Israel as a beacon of civilization and culture while masking its oppressive actions against Palestinians.
