It's the Local Papers, Stupid

Ira Rifkin argues that Israel's supporters must take the fight to smaller, local papers, and not limit their efforts to major US dailies:

In short, the Arab Lobby regards papers such as The Capital as important in its propaganda campaign to win over grassroots American public opinion - which is why it is incumbent upon Israel's supporters to take local media just as seriously.
Think globally but act locally. Bogus anti-Israel claims must be contested, no matter how seemingly inconsequential the platform. Israel's narrative must be voiced - again and again and again, if necessary - so that public opinion is not molded by Israel's enemies alone.

Read it all.
