Influencers Document Israel's Post-Conflict Impact, Shift Media Strategy

In the aftermath of the October 7 attacks, Israel's Foreign Ministry has revamped its public diplomacy by engaging social media influencers to reach younger audiences who consume news differently. This shift aims to combat rising antisemitism and present an authentic perspective on Israel's situation. Influencers recently toured areas affected by the attacks, witnessing the destruction and sharing personal stories to foster understanding. Meanwhile, British influencer Oli London, who changed his views on Israel after the attacks, has been vocal about his experiences and aims to highlight the plight of hostages overlooked by mainstream media. Additionally, a discussion on the intersection of Black and Jewish identities highlights the racism faced by Black Jews and efforts to bridge these communities. The Jewish community is also grappling with issues of antisemitism and the impact of recent events on American Jewry.
