This whole Israeli ship blockade outrage, is the direct result of Israel flat out refusing to use any propaganda / public relations strategy.:madder:
The could have, to borrow a marketing term, established a narrative around the Karina A and the Francop ship.
But they didn't and now they have to pay dearly in world public opinion for this. That makes any reaction much more constrained diplomatically.
There need not be anything unethical about effectively using the best available PR / marketing practices to tell your side of the story.
In my opinion it is possible that Israel will lose because of this.
It also makes me wonder about the wisdom of supporting an ally that refuses to use perfectly ethical strategies to win. (The bad Israeli PR is making the US appear supporting the oppression of the Palestinians)
