DESCRIPTION:Voices from the Holy Land Online Film Salon: "Marketing the Occupation: 
 Part 3 - The Social Media Battleground in a Time of War"\n\nIsrael and 
 pro-Israel advocacy groups have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on 
 social media messaging to build “Brand Israel” and sway U.S. public 
 opinion. Such campaigns have influenced elections, inserted falsehoods into 
 news cycles, and intimidated decision-makers into funding weapons for 
 Israel. But there is resistance. \n\nFor example, Wikipedia has deemed the 
 Anti-Defamation League (ADL) “a generally unreliable source” on the war 
 in Gaza. Students assert their First Amendment rights, protesting on 
 campuses, advocating for boycotts, and sharing news directly from Gaza. 
 What are the dimensions of this social media battle for the “hearts and 
 minds" of the American public?\n\nWatch the film at your convenience before 
 the event. Then join us with your thoughts and questions for our speakers 
 at the Q&A Discussion with:\n \n- Omar Zahzah – Assistant Professor, AMED 
 Studies, San Francisco State University \n- Katie Halper – Host, “The 
 Katie Halper Show” (WBAI) and Co-Host, “Useful Idiots” \n- Bryce 
 Greene – FAIR Student Organizer, Indiana University Bloomington \n\nOur 
 moderator will be Maya Berry, Executive Director of the Arab American 
 Institute.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2024/12/22/18871657.php
