Thanks Reinhold for the additional background info regarding the meaning of the
name hasbaratchik, I will pass this useful information on. By the way, the Jews
speak Yiddish which is the language of the deceiver and the original Hebrew was
paleo Hebrew more akin to our own letters.
Again, many thanks - Chris

Chris,
You posted this phrase: "Jew hasbaratchik Jon Rappoport"
My being unfamiliar with the term caused me to search for the meaning of
Hasbara.
I found this concise statement:
Hasbara is a form of propaganda aimed at an international audience, primarily,
but not exclusively, in western countries. It is meant to influence the
conversation in a way that positively portrays Israeli political moves and
policies, including actions undertaken by Israel in the past.
I found this useful explanation provided by the LIARS Pretending to be a
nation.

Hasbara: Why does the world fail to understand us?
A short discussion of the Israeli term used to describe the ongoing,
ever-growing, national propaganda effort

I have used the word “Hasbara” pretty freely recently, and so do more and more
people, without stopping to explain what it actually means. The use of this
term has been widespread in Israeli Hebrew for many years now, usually with a
positive meaning, though not always in a positive context – there is a
never-ending debate on “the failure of Hasabra” – yet I often wonder how many
people outside Israel actually know it, let alone understand what it stands
for. So here are a few words on Hasbara.
Hasbara is a form of propaganda aimed at an international audience, primarily,
but not exclusively, in western countries. It is meant to influence the
conversation in a way that positively portrays Israeli political moves and
policies, including actions undertaken by Israel in the past. Often, Hasbara
efforts includes a negative portrayal of the Arabs and especially of
Palestinians.
The Hebrew meaning of the word Hasbara (הסברה) is “explanation” (the term
“propaganda” has a different word in Hebrew – תעמולה). I believe that the
popular use of this term also reflects a widespread public notion that a better
effort of explaining Israel’s actions to the world will generate better
understandings of Israel’s policies, and more international support. A less
common use of the verb “to explain” (להסביר), which has to do with welcoming
someone, was used in the past by the Tourism Ministry in campaigns urging
Israelis to show a hospitable approach to tourists.
Hasbara represents only one side of propaganda, as it is mostly aimed at
foreign audience. The use of the Hebrew term Hasbara in a critical context,
rather than “propaganda” or “public diplomacy” (the title of the Wikipedia
entry <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_diplomacy_(Israel)> on the issue),
is necessary, because Hasbara efforts are wider and their goals much more
ambitious than any similar activities taken by all democracies and most
non-democracies. Hasbara targets political elites, opinion makers and the
public simultaneously; it includes traditional advocacy efforts as well as more
general appeals made through mass media, and it is carried out by government
agencies, non-governmental organizations, lobbying groups, private citizens,
students, journalists and bloggers.
The Israeli government encourages all citizens to actively engage in Hasbara.
Recently, it even distributed brochures with talking points to all Israelis
traveling abroad (a Hebrew web version of the campaign can be viewed here
<http://www.masbirim.gov.il/index.html> ). Israelis are asked to engage in
politically-oriented conversations with their hosts and contacts abroad. Rather
than discuss the Palestinian conflict, they are advised to cite Israeli
technological achievements, mention environmental policies and take pride in
notable cultural works. The West Bank is to be discussed
<http://www.masbirim.gov.il/i_recommend.html> – under its ancient Hebrew name,
Judea and Samaria – as a potential tourist marvel.
Until a few years ago, the main government agency carrying out Hasbara work was
the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs <http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA> , through
its Media and Hasbara department. Under Ehud Olmert’s government, and more so
under Netanyahu’s, there was a considerable increase in Hasbara efforts. Prime
Minister Netanyahu has launched for the first time a Hasbara Ministry
<http://www.hasbara.gov.il/Pages/Default.aspx> , headed by a government
minister (the current hasbara minister is Yuli Edelstein). The Hasbara Ministry
includes a situation room
<http://www.hasbara.gov.il/PublicDiplomacy/hadar/Pages/default.aspx> , which
operates in five languages; it has a new-media team that can reach, according
to the office’s web page, 100,000 volunteers on social media networks, as well
as many bloggers.
UPDATE: The Ministry of Hasbara is hiring
<http://twitter.com/#!/Israelgov/status/135695363641323521> ! “Advantage to
minorities and representatives of the gay community.” More details here
<http://www.hasbara.gov.il/Communication/DoverMessages/Pages/overboard.aspx> .
On top of the Hasbara Ministry, there is a Hasbara branch in the Prime
Minister’s Office (in charge of both local and international PR). The IDF
Spokesperson <http://idfspokesperson.com/> has an international arm with a new
media branch <http://idfspokesperson.com/about/our-platforms/> , which makes
Hasbara efforts and does not limit itself to providing information on army
activities. Other government agencies, such as the Ministry of Tourism or the
Ministry of Culture, also take part in ad-hoc Hasbara activities. There are
other agencies that have gradually moved into greater involvement in Hasbara –
perhaps the most notable is The Jewish Agency
<http://www.jafi.org.il/JewishAgency/English/Home/> , which used to serve as a
liaison to Jewish communities abroad, and now trains its envoys to American
campuses to engage in propaganda.
Under Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, the Foreign Ministry was instructed
to take a bigger role in the Hasbara effort (a popular rant against the foreign
ministry for many years was that it deals with peacemaking instead of advocacy,
and Lieberman has promised to solve that). I was contacted awhile ago by a
private agency that won a contract with the foreign ministry; they were looking
for professionals to play hostile journalists in simulations with Israeli
diplomats.
Much of the Hasbara work carried out outside official channels – but with heavy
official influence – is carried out through non-governmental organizations such
as Stand With Us <http://standwithus.com/> , The Israel Project
<http://www.theisraelproject.org/site/c.ewJXKcOUJlIaG/b.7711637/k.BEA8/Home.htm>
and more. These organizations produce resources – booklets
<http://standwithus.com/BOOKLETS/> , slideshows
<http://www.hasbara.com/v2pages/presentations.html> , flyers
<http://standwithus.com/FLYERS/> , maps, polls
<http://www.theisraelproject.org/site/c.ewJXKcOUJlIaG/b.7717029/k.C4B1/Polls/apps/nl/newsletter3.asp#.Tr-RST1QXMY>
and more – and spin news events in ways which are favorable to the Israeli
government. A lot of thought is put into influencing opinion-makers:
journalists and bloggers are flown on a regular basis to tours in Israel,
accompanied by government officials, while Israeli representatives – former
diplomats, journalists, soldiers and officers – are brought to give lectures at
campuses, think-tanks, conferences and other public events around the world.
Organizations also try to influence the grassroots level by granting Hasbara
fellowships <http://www.hasbarafellowships.org/> to international students in
Israel.
—————–
There is an interesting tension in Israel between the tremendous efforts put
into Hasbara – Israeli advocacy is probably the most widespread and ambitious
state-run propaganda effort in the world today – and a sense of “Hasbara
failure” in the Israeli public. Rants about the fact that Israel is
misunderstood and complaints about the incompetence of those dealing with
Hasbara are often heard in the popular media. In my opinion, “the failure of
Hasbara” is actually a failure of policy – especially, but not limited to, that
relating to the occupation and the control over the Palestinians.
Understanding this point could shed light on a self-defeating element in the
Hasbara battle: as Israel loses interest in finding a solution to the
Palestinian question that would meet the minimal moral standards of the Western
World – either “one man one vote” or complete Palestinian sovereignty over a
contiguous territorial unit – Hasbara efforts are just likely to draw more
attention to the ongoing Israeli failure to live up to the promise of its
talking points, and will shed more light on the ever-growing gap between the
model, picture-perfect democracy reflected in brochures
<http://standwithus.com/ONLINE_BOOKLETS/Israel%20Pocket%20Facts/> and the grim
reality on the ground.

How to spot a Hasbaratchik ---> More outrage at Hamas for blocking kids Israel
trip than Israel for denying movement & residency to millions
First order of business for Americans is to neutralize Jewish power in
Washington (i.e. expel Jews from the WH and Congress, fire the corrupt
politicians who have taken their bribes, and ban Jews from future participation
in U.S. politics).
Secondly, stop all aid to Israel. Track down the Zionist foot-soldiers
(hasbaratchiks) on American soil and expel them to any country that will have
them.
Thirdly, conduct a surprise surgical strike on the Dimona nuclear facility.
This should de-fang the Luciferian state, and encourage the Zionist psychopaths
to negotiate in good faith with their neighbors. This will also correct the
horrendous mistake the Western nations made in allowing Israel to acquire the
nuclear option.
Fourth: withdraw recognition of Israel as a Jews-only state. Insist on a
secular state in Palestine, with the Palestinian natives as equal participants
in governance. Jews should learn to live like other people live, earning their
own way through life, and stop living off of the labor of Gentiles--and trying
to lord it over them. This would be a golden opportunity for Jews to change how
they are viewed by the Gentile world: as perpetual trouble-makers and parasites.
Implementing all of the above will put an end, once and for all, to the
LucifericNew World Order enslavement program, designed to bring about the
Jewish Master-Slave Paradise, which Menachem Begin referred to in his June 8,
1982 speech to the Israeli Knesset:
"Our race is the Master Race. We are divine gods on this planet. We are as
different from the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared
to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races
are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior
races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The
masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves."
----quoted in an article titled 'Begin and the Beasts' by Israeli journalist,
Amnon Kapeliouk, American Statesman, June 25, 1982
Thanks, Menachem, for giving us a glimpse of what to expect from the Chosen
People as gratitude for all we have done for them, and given them, these past
100 years. Btw, those who love Israel so much, and consider it a paradise,
should pack up their bags and move there, if they are not to be viewed as
hypocrites and spongers.
