This week on the podcast, we’re talking about a sensitive subject, but after seeing
Ido Aharoni speak at the Harvard Club recently, it felt like the right time to have a difficult conversation.
Ido is a 25-year veteran of Israel’s Foreign service. He is a public diplomacy specialist,
founder of the Brand Israel Program and a well-known nation branding practitioner.
Today’s conversation is not a history lesson on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Instead, here’s what you’ll learn in today’s episode:
- How black and white thinking has led to a dramatic increase in anti-semitism around the world
- The simple marketing principles used on social media with ill intent that have helped spread misinformation and hate speech
- How information overload exhausts our brains and makes us more susceptible to that misinformation
