Comment is Free on The Israel Project’s Hasbara ‘Fictionary’
I’ve been writing a serial critique of Frank Luntz’s 2009 Language “Fictionary” written for The Israel Projects hasbara efforts on behalf of the Israeli Occupation. Comment is Free just published my own account of the project. It was written after I’d read Douglas Bloomfield’s critique of the document, but before I’d had a chance to delve deeper into it when the full handbook became available at the Newsweeek site. But my piece is still useful as an introduction to the worst aspects of Luntz’s puerile hasbara handbook.
