Omri is at the Nefesh b’Nefesh blogger’s conference I couldn’t get to due to tiny little things like closing on my new home. He’s liveblogging it.
18:51 – Bibi asserts that the Israeli government needs better public diplomacy – and that this can be done in part through a reasonably written daily blog. This is true. He also asserts that pro-Israel advocates can counter smears and fabrications with “just the truth” and that facts will defeat smears even if they remain “un-embellished.” This is false.
And the earlier liveblogging:
18:03 – Some woman just told Judith and I to “shush.” Despite my strong urging, Judith refuses to “yank that nobody’s hair and scream ‘do you know who I am'” Oh well.
Yes, Omri does tend to egg people on like that. He wouldn’t stop talking at my bat mitzvah about how one of my friends was a witch.
There’s a live webcast. Go look. Bibi’s speaking now.
