Vision to Reality: The Reut Blog

In the past couple of weeks, several articles have been published which discuss Reut’s current project on identifying the threat of fundamental delegitimacy against Israel and creating a conceptual framework to deal with it.

Chief among these was a mention in a Newsweek article on Israeli PR. “”The recent assaults on the state’s legitimacy threaten to push Israel towards the status of a pariah state and therefore pose a real threat,” wrote Eran Shayshon of Tel Aviv’s Reut Institute. The Israeli think tank has published a study concluding that Israel’s hardest struggle may now come in a war of words. The battlefields, the study says, will be “hubs of delegitimization” based in such cities as London, Toronto, Brussels, and Madrid.

In addition, Reut has published an op-ed in the Jewish Chronicle as well as being mentioned in a feature in the Jerusalem Post on Hubs of Delegitimization and an article in the Jewish Chronicle discussing a panel at the Limmud UK Conference on delegitimacy.
