“My interest in the Israel-Palestine conflict was sparked in late 2010, early 2011, with Operation Cast Lead,” he related. “Operation Cast Lead, in the Irish media, was painted as an absolute genocide. Very black and white news reporting. So I wanted to go see for myself. I wanted to go and see, were the Israelis as nasty as they were being painted as being in the paper?

Larkin applied for funding from the Irish Arts Council and spent 8 weeks in Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Reality turned out to be completely different from what he imagined. The Jews, he decided, were not the bad guys in the conflict. When the film came out a year ago, he said, it was “jumped on” as being slanted toward Israel.

“Obviously I was employed by Mossad and getting all the Jew gold and I was completely in the pocket of the Israeli embassy,” he said sarcastically.

To promote the documentary, Larkin wrote an article about the film for an Irish newspaper. To his surprise, some of the reactions were supportive. “I mean, I expected all of the hate mail and the threats and the emails about dead children's blood on your hands and all this kind of thing I was getting every day, but what I didn't expect was the support from Irish people and it was really encouraging. The one thing that was disappointing was that all of the abuse and all of the hatred was very public, all of the support was very private.”

I find the whole story very heartening. The young man's willingness to learn, make a fair judgement based on actually visiting Israel for a non-trivial amount of time, and his subsequent film making and speaking tour. Very good PR too. This ought to be promoted subtly perhaps through social media.

Heartening as well was the positive response he received from the Irish community.

Here in the US Support for is Israel is strong among everyday people - but they aren't out there making news like the leftists.

Sir
This is obviosly a heartening story of success that turned into an efficient PR item in one of the countries where pro- Palestinian trends found a fertile ground
People ( at least not all of them) are not that stupid
This is why I say that this Forum's leading figures who possess huge and diversified PR potential should " go public" instead of just talking to one another
We ( I am proud to belong) shouldn't leave the monopoly on public opinion into the hands of a bunch of leftist liars contaminated with VIRUS PALESTINAE
Yours
