Book excerpt: "This paper explores the divergent definitions of public diplomacy and focuses on analyzing the various contexts that have led to shaping the Israeli and Palestinian public media images, as two opposite sides. Palestinians and Israelis alike have always attempted to gain a positive public image by trying to refute each others' claims and in defending their respective historical narratives. However, a review of past history of coexistence between Arabs and Jews suggests that a just solution could potentially be achieved, if the two groups decided to reframe the conflict in a way that humanizes the similar needs that undergird the conflict and its tumultuous history. The first requirement is to enhance the image and ultimately, credibility and respect of Israelis in the Palestinian eyes, while simultaneously enhanching the Palestinian image, credibility and respect within the Israeli public. Both sides can then move forward in the effort to resolve the century-old conflict." -- abstract.
