Employing ad hominem in lieu of a reasonable response to criticism, Reverend Stephen Sizer, founder and organizer of this weeks Christ at the Checkpoint Conference, labels all critics of the conference as Habarafia. Note: a good definition of hasbara is this: Public diplomacy in Israel (also hasbara) (Hebrew: הַסְבָּרָה hasbará, explaining) refers to public relations efforts to disseminate abroad positive information about Israel.[1][2] The term is used by the Israeli government and its supporters to describe efforts to explain government policies and promote Israel in the face of negative press, and to counter what they see as delegitimisation of Israel around the world. Hasbara means explanation, and is also a euphemism for propaganda. ~ Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_diplomacy_(Israel)
