Manage the conflict and keep on thriving until the enemy had enough wanting your destruction

Israel is the most maligned country in the world. It is the only country another UN member state vows to destroy from the UN speaker's podium. People think that Israel is all about the conflict with the Arabs, which is not so. Israel can help herself by rebranding what she is all about and what she has to offer the world, which the world in fact wants.

There is indeed a desperate need for the state of Israel to reverse the tide flowing against it in the war of ideas, gain international support and strengthen her standing with every possible human being.

Israel needs to begin telling the world that it is not defined by the conflict and the trouble it has from the neighbors; Israel is much more than its problems. No place is perfect, including Israel; the same way people do not judge other places they visit, Israel needs not to be judged by it imperfections, rather its perfections and there are many.

International relations revolve a great deal around priorities. It is best to be attractive than right.
