November 14, 2012.

It could be that this day will fade into the overwhelmed history of Web 2.0, or more

likely, the day will be marked for future generations as the first day that a military operation was

announced on Twitter (see fig. 1). Fig 1. Tweet sent from IDF on November 14, 2012.

As rockets rained over Gaza and southern Israel, a new format of war had begun—an

information war—with a new format of primary weaponry: social media. Over the following

seven days, Israel’s Defense Force (IDF) and Hamas’ military wing (Al-Qassam Brigades)

documented their conflict on various social media platforms, including Facebook, Tumblr,

YouTube, and most notably, Twitter. The digital discourse of their conflict stunned civilians and

the media alike, prompting many to question if social media, which previously had connotations

of community and connection, could be effectively employed as weapon of war. Could the

future of war be virtual? These direct inquiries aside, more subtle questions stem from this

discourse: does social media allow less powerful entities to gain more power, or even

legitimacy? How does the introduction of social media into diplomacy and military engagement

change our understanding of interstate relations and statehood? To have a clear picture of the

outputted discourses of the two sides, it’s integral to examine the Twitter feeds for both the IDF

and Al-Qassam Brigades. After conducting a cross-analysis of the two feeds in terms of content

and style, a more lucid understanding of intention and effect can be determined.

Digitizing Diplomacy

Before constructing an analysis of contemporary trends in social media, one must have a

clear comprehension of the historical context for contemporary thought. As social scientist Ithiel

de Sola Pool states, “of the four great instrumentalities available to nations for influencing the

world around them—diplomacy, armed forces, money, and information—the last is both the

most powerful and the least understood” (Dizard, 2001, p.1). At the origin of the digital age,

though scientists and engineers were quickly advancing their understanding of new technologies,

3

the governments were slow to partake in the digital revolution. “There is still resistance to

accepting the new digital realities by tradition-bound officials within the diplomatic community.

Old habits die slowly” (Dizard, 2001, p. 2), states Wilson Dizard. Although the culture of

diplomacy has been shifting to a more digital paradigm in recent years, at the origin of digital

diplomacy, many governments shared a sense of hesitance.

The shift away from this sentiment largely began in the 1990s, as the Internet gained

prominence as a new platform for public discourse. According to John Arquilla and David

Ronfeldt (1999) in The Emergence of Noopolitik, the Internet had begun to shift the global

balance of power. “National security experts have long based their calculations on the traditional

political, economic, and military dimensions of power. Now they see that a new field is

emerging: information strategy” (Arquilla & Ronfeldt, 1999, p. 1). Despite the influential power

of past technological innovations, such as photography, radio, and television, Arquilla and

Ronfeldt recognized that the Internet did not just complement diplomacy—it was changing it:

“The world is turning anew into a highly charged battleground of ideas; it is not just a world in

which material resources are the objects of protracted, often violent competition. In this

emerging world, the key to success will likely lie in managing informational capabilities and

resources skillfully—i.e., strategically” (Arquilla & Ronfeldt, 1999, p. 2). During this time,

perspectives were shifting and affecting the landscape of international affairs, with “the

intensification of the information revolution, with its implications that knowledge is power, that

power is diffusing to nonstate actors, and that global interconnectivity is generating a new fabric

for world order” (Arquilla & Ronfeldt, 1999, p. 28).

Former National Security Council and State Department official, Jamie Metzl, built upon

this perspective with his idea of network diplomacy. Instead of viewing technology as the sole

impetus for this shift, Metzl introduced another connected source: globalization. “Globalization

and the information revolution are empowering decentralized networks that challenge state-

centered hierarchies. These networks may be defined loosely as sets of interconnected

individuals who occupy analogous positions in institutional or social structures and create new

community relationships that build upon, democratize, and magnify existing social frameworks”

(Metzl, 2001, p. 77-78). For Metzl, the idea of the three-dimensional integrated network

triumphed over the antiquated top-down system of hierarchy. In essence, our intersociety and

interstate relations were beginning to mimic essential aspects of Internet architecture. In an

4

international sphere that had been dominated by ideas of containment1, the Internet and its effect

on society could not be contained. Metzl provided the recommendation that “governments must

change the way they do business to make their best voices heard in a networked world” (Metzl,

2001, p. 86). Metzl implies that in the reality of the digital world, voices and messages are in

competition, and often not only with other states. “While states and other large actors once had a

virtual monopoly on mass communications tools, any individual now has the power to

communicate via the Internet with an almost unlimited number of potential collaborators” (Metzl

2001, p. 78). Comparing with Max Weber’s definition of the state as, “the form of human

community that (successfully) lays claim to the monopoly of legitimate physical violence”

(Weber, 1994, p. 310-311), we could interpret that Metzl’s idea of statehood derives not only

from a monopoly of violence, but a monopoly of image and voice (i.e. communications) as well.

In Communication Power, Manuel Castells asserts that “because networks are global, the

state, which is the enforcer of power through the monopoly of violence, finds considerable limits

to its coercive capacity unless it engages itself in networking with other states (Castells, 2011, p.

15),” or in some cases, even non-state actors. “The ability to connect different networks and

restore some kind of boundary within which the state retains its capacity to intervene becomes

paramount to the reproduction of the domination institutionalized in the state. But the ability to

set up the connection is not necessarily in the hands of the state” (p.51). With the advent of

advanced information telecommunications technology, and specifically, the Internet, the State

can no longer enforce its boundaries online, and thus, as the digital personas of citizens evolve,

the State will face difficulties reproducing its power through institutionalization. The State may

have convinced the public of the physical tangibility of invisible borders, however, in the online

realm, borders are impossible to enforce, diminishing the State’s perceived power online.

Israeli Diplomacy: The Image Pivot

These ideas converge in the analysis of the context and current state of Israeli digital

diplomacy. “Recent researchers connect the Israeli international image with a question of Israeli

legitimacy to exist as state and consequently approach state’s image as a crucial factor for the

state’s survival” (Asmolov, 2010, p. 31). Because of the connection between Israel’s

international image and its legitimacy, many in the government and foreign ministry are

1 See Dizard (2001), pages 27-29, for an insightful description of George Kennan’s concept of “containment.”

beginning to view the effective use of digital diplomacy as integral to the state’s future. Similar

to other nations, Israel was hesitant to make the shift from traditional diplomacy to digital

diplomacy at first. Despite Israel’s booming tech sector, the government was slow to incorporate

web protocol into its daily operations.

However, the 2006 Lebanon War between Israel and Hezbollah changed this sentiment.

Although Israel may have succeeded with its military operation, it lost the information war. As

the Gulf War was the first 24-hour televised war owing to CNN, the Lebanon War was the first

24-hour streamed war as a result of Internet platforms. “Pictures of advancing or retreating

Israeli troops in southern Lebanon; homes and villages being destroyed during bombing runs; old

people wandering aimlessly through the debris, some tailed by children hugging tattered dolls…

all conveyed ‘live,’ as though the world had a front-row seat on the blood and gore of modern

warfare” (Kalb & Saivetz, 2007, p. 44). In analyzing the use of media in the Lebanon War,

Marvin Kalb and Carol Saivetz note the different media strategies of Hezbollah and Israel.

Hezbollah crafted their international image with precision, consciously “control[ling] media

access with a bookkeeper’s rigidity” (p. 53). Kalb and Saivetz describe how “foreign

correspondents were warned…that they could not wander off on their own or ask questions of

any of the residents. They could only take pictures of sites approved by their Hezbollah minders”

(p. 53). Through their media regulation, they greatly controlled their narrative. In contrast,

though Israel attempted to control the journalists and thus their international image, they could

not. “Newspapermen and anchormen found many ways to avoid Israeli censorship or

obstruction—and cover the war, which was their job” (Kalb & Saivetz, 2007, p. 54). Kalb and

Saivetz believe that one can conclude from this war that “a closed society can control the image

and the message that it wishes to convey to the rest of the world far more effectively than can an

open society, especially one engaged in an existential struggle for survival. An open society

becomes the victim of its own openness” (p. 44).

After the war, Israel created the Winograd Commission to investigate the challenges

faced by Israel during the campaign. The commission recommended that Israel “set up an

information/propaganda coordination body” (Shabi, 2009) to craft a more coherent and positive

international image of Israel. In response, the Israeli government initiated hasbara officially2

2 In the past, it had established the idea of hasbara, however, it was not formalized in the Prime Minister’s Office until after 2006 (see for older use of the concept: http://articles.latimes.com/1988-01-28/news/mn-39210_1_foreign-press)

(meaning “explanation” in Hebrew), the National Information Directorate based in the Prime

Minister’s office in order to coordinate public diplomacy3. By the beginning of Israel’s next

military campaign, the Directorate had already begun to restructure its information strategy.

“Fewer military officers; more women; tightly controlled messages; and ministers kept on a short

leash” (Pfeffer, 2009, p. 254), describes Israeli journalist Anshel Pfeffer of Israel’s media

strategy for the 2008-2009 Operation Cast Lead (also known as the Gaza War). As stated by

Aviv Shir-On, Israel’s Foreign Ministry Deputy Director-General for Public Affairs, “in the war

of the pictures we lose, so you need to correct, explain or balance it in other ways” (Shabi, 2009,

p. 254).

In contrast to Israel’s media strategy in Lebanon, the IDF began to shift from being a

passive media subject to an active media actor, for example by creating its first YouTube account

with videos in Hebrew and in Arabic4, as well as “enlisting support from the blogosphere”

(Mayfield, 2011, p. 81). Additionally, as the journalists’ documentation was integral to fostering

international sympathy for the Lebanese during the Lebanon War, with Cast Lead, Israel barred

journalists from entering the Gaza Strip. By “limiting the access of international media to the

battlefield during Operation Cast Lead, the Israelis ensured no voice would refute Palestinian

claims of atrocities and civilian targeting” (Caldwell, Murphy & Menning, 2010, p. 45).

Although Israel’s social media strategy initially appeared to be having a positive effect on

its image, “Israel began to lose traction as the images of carnage and destruction began to

circulate out of Gaza, transmitted with particular intensity around the Arab world” (Zigelboim,

2009). As a result of the journalism “black out,” Hamas, through it’s military branch Al-Qassam

Brigades and its television network Al-Aqsa, shared multimedia of the military operation

through its website, which was rapidly disseminated throughout the world. As illustrated by both

the IDF’s and Hamas’ tactics, what has become important is “how many people perceive

themselves as a part of conflict and feel that the conflict is not something distant, but something

that has a linkage to them” (Asmolov, 2010, p. 25). Although Israel may have been successful

with their domestic public, with Cast Lead they continued to have trouble garnering international

sympathy and understanding. After Cast Lead, Israel’s IDF once again realized the need to

review and strengthen their social media strategy. 3 See interesting description of birth of formalized hasbara in “Learning to Leverage New Media” by William Caldwell, Dennis Murphy, Antopn Menning, page 43, from the publication Fires, September/October 2010. 4 See Al-Jazeera English Report on the program Listening Post, “Gaza’s Internet War,” posted 13 February 2009. http://youtu.be/WEEUhgxmX8I

Shortly after the operation, the Israeli government decided to invest more money into

their new media capabilities, designating a budget of $1.6 million for new social media projects5.

As part of their revitalized methodology, Israel conducted a “fact-finding trip” to Washington,

DC, “where they met with members of Obama and Clinton’s new media teams” (Stein, 2012, p.

896). Likely influenced by Clinton’s concept of 21st Century Statecraft, Israel has since greatly

integrated its Foreign Service offices into the global online community. Out of about 100 Israeli

embassies, over 40 of them have official Facebook fan pages. Israel is represented by over 115

country and embassy Twitter accounts. Israel holds 800-1000 online accounts on various Internet

platforms, according to Yoram Moran, Director of Israel’s Digital Diplomacy Department6. The

IDF alone holds Twitter accounts in five languages. With these Twitter accounts, the IDF will

sometimes respond to critics7, acknowledging the platform as a means of explanation, even if it

only allows 140 characters. Captain Eytan Buchman, the North American Head of the IDF

Spokesperson’s unit believes that this engagement is key to their social media strategy. “If we

have the time during the day and we see something that is clearly misguided, inaccurate, or

biased, we'll try to combat that. We'll try to engage the person, we'll tweet a reference to that

specific tweet and put it out” (Ungerleider, 2012). The IDF’s social media presence becomes

integral to crafting its domestic and international image.

Two months before the November 2012 conflict, the IDF initiated an Interactive Media

branch into its Public Information Office, run by Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich, consisting of “a

collection of 30 soldiers trained to craft the blog posts, infographics and status updates that

comprise Israel's media campaign” (Hollister, 2012). Commenting on the progress made by her

team of social media experts, Leibovich stated that she is “very proud.” She continues, “we still

have a lot more to learn and maybe other platforms to join, but I think in a relatively short time

it's very progressive” (Herrman, 2012).

Aside from the innovative nature of the IDF’s social media output, Leibovich maintains

two clear objectives for her social media team: “The goal is to reach as many audiences as

possible, and second, to convey our message, without the touch of an editor” (Herrman, 2012). It

is important to highlight the last element of her social media strategy, without the touch of an

editor. The tweets, posts, and infographics should appear organic and non-curated—in essence,

authentic. Further, in some cases, the perceived authenticity becomes more important than the

factual authenticity. What matters is the message and its ability to convince. As Buchman

concisely illustrates, “it's the battle for information” (Ungerleider, 2012), and the theatre is

public and interactive. On the IDF’s capability in this battle, he continues, “it's a battle that I

think, at this point, we are winning” (Underleider, 2012). However, how does one win the social

media war? Can it be won with impressive analytics, top follower counts, or retweets? And more

importantly, what real significance could social media have for actual warfare, and with that,

statehood?

Two Names, One Conflict: Pillar of Defense Meets Shale Stones

In the months leading up to the November Gaza Conflict, a gradual change in political

demeanor swept over domestic politicians in Gaza. In the past, the dominant political players,

who generally had resided as exiles in neighboring Arab countries, had represented the militant

vision of Gaza in comparison to the domestic regime8. However, the external representatives had

recently “undergone a dramatic transformation and its domestic wing ha[d] made a bold attempt

to assert its primacy” (Ibish, 2012) leading up to November 2012. In order to assert its power and

dominance over the former political elites abroad, Hamas had escalated its Qassam rocket attacks

on Israel, thus portraying itself to its people as the ultimate power and protector9.

On November 12th, after a month of intense rocket fire and moderate skirmishes at the

Gaza-Israel border, leaders of Hamas had signaled that they were willing to discuss the potential

for a ceasefire10. However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recalled his foreign

ambassadors for a high-level meeting, in what many believed was “an apparent move to pre-

empt international censure should Israel, whose 2008-2009 Gaza offensive exacted a high

civilian toll, again go in hard” (Balmer & al-Mughrabi, 2012)11. Netanyahu released a statement,

meant for international and domestic audiences alike: “the world needs to understand that Israel

has the right and duty to defend its citizens” (Ravid, Issacharoff, & Cohen, 2012).

As alluded to in Netanyahu’s remarks, a military operation was in the works. Two days

later at 16:00, the Israeli Air Force targeted the vehicle of Hamas Military Chief, Ahmed al-

Jabari, killing him in his car with an airstrike. In the past, Israel had announced its operations

through conventional outlets of media, such as press releases and televised announcements.

However, with the November 2012 conflict, a new military communications strategy had been

planned. Almost 30 minutes after the airstrike, the IDF announced the operation with two

adjacent tweets (see fig. 2 and fig. 3).

Fig. 2. Tweet sent from IDF on November 14, 2012.

Fig. 3. Tweet sent from IDF on November 14, 2012.

However, what surprised international diplomats and media was not necessarily the IDF’s

innovative use of Twitter; rather, Hamas’ military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades12, responded to the

action of the IDF on Twitter as well (see fig. 3).

Fig. 3. Tweet sent from IDF on November 14, 2012.

Eight minutes after its first tweet, Al-Qassam responded again, but this time the tweet

addressed the IDF directly, signaling a definitive shift in tone from Al-Qassam’s immediate

10

tweets, which generally provided updates and news on the conflict with Israel, but not typically

direct, menacing messages (see fig. 4).

Fig. 4. Tweet sent from IDF on November 14, 2012.

Though somewhat shocking in terms of the insinuation of potential violence, this tweet

had not been the first time that Al-Qassam had issued threatening language of this nature,

through formal press announcements or through its Twitter platform.13 Throughout 2012, Al-

Qassam had elevated its social media fluency through direct quotations such as this referring to

IDF operations14 as well as expanding its use of hashtags and shortened links.15 However, this

digital engagement between Al-Qassam and the IDF did represent the first time that the IDF had

developed a proactive rather than responsive social media campaign that simultaneously allowed

for an improvised adaptation to Al-Qassam’s social media presence.

From November 12 to November 21, the IDF and Al-Qassam continued to communicate

with direct and indirect messages, both to the public sphere and each other, attempting to control

a formal online narrative of the conflict. Notably, the two parties maintained significantly

different social media strategies throughout the operation. The approaches greatly differed in

respect to two elements: branding and interaction. Understanding these two elements provides a

deeper understanding of not only their individual media strategies, but more substantial questions

of statehood and legitimacy.

13 This message relating to Israel opening the “gates of hell” holds historical precedence. It had been used several times in the past by Palestinian officials and armed groups in response to antagonisms by the Israeli’s against Palestinian safety and sovereignty. In 2001, Saeb Erakat used this phrase in response to Ariel Sharon’s actions (see: http://archives.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/meast/08/14/mideast/). In 2004, in response to an assassination, Hamas’ military wing sent this message to, again, Ariel Sharon (http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/hamas-sharon-has-opened-the-gates-of-hell-1.117597). In 2009, a senior member of Al-Aqsa Martyr’s Brigade invoked this phrase (see http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3825301,00.html). 14 In the March 2012, during an escalation of the conflict between Gaza and Israel, Al-Qassam sent numerous tweets referring to the IDF’s operations, such as: “Al Qassam: ‘We will cut off the hands that attacked our leader Mr Abbas As-Sayed and the hands that attacking our detainees everyday,’ ” tweeted on March 28, 2012 at 9:50am. 15On April 13, 2011, Al-Qassam began to tweet shortened links, rather than the full links, using the online application, bitly (https://bitly.com/).

11

Branding

One important element to note is the difference between the “brand” created by Israel

versus that of Al-Qassam. In response to the November 2012 Gaza Conflict, Sacha Dratwa, the

IDF Director of New Media, stated “branding is a major part of social media; our efforts were

aimed at branding this conflict, the first time this has been done on social media” (Shamah,

2013). Dratwa emphasizes that creating a brand of the operation is integral to its success.

Beginning with the naming of the operation, the difference in tone between the IDF’s “brand”

versus Al-Qassam’s brand is evident.

On the first day of the conflict, the IDF brands the operation Pillar of Defense, also

known from the Hebrew-translated phrase Pillar of Cloud. Branding the operation as defensive

relates to Netanyahu’s declaration of Israel’s “right and duty to defend its citizens.” The Hebrew

version derives from a biblical reference16. Additionally, this name contrasts greatly with the

other recent operation, Cast Lead, of which the name gives an impression of aggression, evoking

a cold and inhuman image, despite its origin from a classic Israeli poem about a dreidel17. The

IDF’s branding attempts to re-image the Israeli military as a non-provocative force of protection,

contrasting its international image during Cast Lead of a destructive force of aggression. It is

interesting to note the use of two names—one name for the domestic audience and one for the

international audience. The domestic brand of the operation, as a biblical reference from Exodus,

gives the appearance of sanctifying the operation, whereas the international brand provides an

appearance of security (not antagonism).

On the other hand, on the first day of the conflict, Al-Qassam had not yet produced a

name for the conflict, as it appears that the IDF’s Twitter declaration as well as the IDF’s actions

may have taken Al-Qassam by surprise18. However, they did begin to brand their response by

their fifth tweet (three hours after the IDF’s declaration), using their established19, influential

hashtag, #GazaUnderAttack. Only on the second day did Al-Qassam brand their rebuttal to the

operation with a reciprocal name, Shale Stones, which like the Israeli title, derives from a

16 See Exodus 20:13. 17 As Operation Cast Lead began on the seventh night of Chanukah, the operation was named as a literary reference to a famous Israeli poem by Poet H.N. Bialik that refers to a cast lead dreidel, the spinning top that is an emblematic game of Chanukah (see http://www.neshamah.net/for-hanuka-by-hn-bialik). 18 Upon inspection of analytics of Tweet source (see: https://twitter.com/AlqassamBrigade), the first eight tweets, over the first three hours of the Twitter response from Al-Qassam) came from mobile upload, rather than computer (“web”). 19 #GazaUnderAttack has been used by the Al-Qassam Brigades Twitter account for the past two years.

12

religious reference20. Like Israel, the religious connotation of the name Shale Stones evokes an

impression of sanctification. However, within its Twitter feed, the brand relied on its hashtag,

rather than its self-declared name.

Similar to Al-Qassam, despite the new name of Israel’s operation, Israel often reverted

back to its preexistent hashtag, #IsraelUnderFire, which is closely worded to that of Al-Qassam.

Both established hashtags invoke the impression that each party is somehow a victim, rather than

a perpetrator. As the point of hashtags is not just for the sake of creation, but also for publicity,

when the hashtag is referenced on the twitter accounts of others, this repetition enables the third

party individual to feel important in sharing a perceived injustice. However, the hashtags of the

IDF campaign and the Al Qassam campaign contrasted in popularity on twitter. In Fig. 5, the

Hashtag                                          Twitter  References  #GazaUnderAttack   290,143  #ShaleStones   950  #PillarofDefense   31,615  #IsraelUnderFire   57,846  Fig.  5.  Twitter  References  Between  November  13-­‐22,  201221  

number of references of each hashtag between November 13 and November 22 is listed.

#GazaUnderAttack garnered more than double of all the references of #PillarofDefense and

#IsraelUnderFire combined.

However, in reviewing the analytics, it is also necessary to assess each account’s follower

count. As of April 23, 2013, the IDF had 213,637 followers, and it is estimated that over 50,000

began to follow the IDF during the November 2012 campaign. On the other hand, Al-Qassam

currently has about 41,000, and gained about 10,000 through this campaign. 22 However,

reviewing the follower account alone does not necessarily reveal branding success, as revealed in

the popularity of hashtags. The difficulty of drawing assumptions or clear correlations from the

Twitter analytics is evident with these two opposing sets of data. However, drawing upon the

branding through both hashtags and followers, one can conclude that both of the parties garnered

support through their media campaigns.

20 From the Quran, 105th chapter, Sūrat al-Fīl. 21 Source: Topsy, from http://topsy.com/ 22 See “Israel, Hamas, fight Gaza conflict online” by Jessica Stahl for Voice of America, published November 16, 2012: http://www.voanews.com/content/idf-hamas-fight-on-twitter-facebook/1547488.html

13

Another important aspect of branding includes the imagery that is tweeted in twitpics or

links. The IDF’s Spokesperson’s Office created a visual infographic campaign to correlate to the

daily tweets. Two important examples of these infographics are exhibited in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7.

Both these two figures incorporate many aspects of contemporary graphic design, advertising,

and gaming culture. From the punchy colors, stylized fonts, and abbreviated text, these graphics

appear to simulate viral advertisements, rather than sincere informational tools for understanding

the conflict better. These graphics would seem more appropriate for a Facebook wall, rather than

on a diplomat’s desk, generating a somewhat fun and playful impression, despite the underlying

themes of war, death, and destruction.

At first, Al-Qassam’s media campaign included photographs of wounded civilians and

casualties, contrasting the viral infographics from the IDF. However, by November 15, 2012, Al-

Qassam

Fig.  6.  Tweeted  November  14,  18:06,  with  the  tweet            Fig.  7.  Tweeted  November  14,  19:21,  with  the  tweet,              “More  than  12,000  rockets  hit  Israel  in  the  past  12                    “Ahmed  Jabari:  Eliminated.”                  years,  RT  if  you  think  #Israel  has  the  right  to  defend                  itself.”    

posted a mocking replication of the IDF posters (see Fig. 8). In using a similar layout, color

scheme, and textual style and format, Al-Qassam directly references the graphics of the IDF,

however, using an iconic image of a child who had died in a bombing the day before as the

background. By creating this poster and tweeting with hashtags such as #HumanRights and

#Amnesty, Al-Qassam shines light on the gravity of the humanitarian situation, in contrast to the

14

IDF’s concurrent tweet with its Al-Jabari infographic, “Eliminated,” which gives an impression

of crudeness, rather than sensitivity.

                                                 Fig.  8.  Tweeted  on  November  15,  23:00,  with  the  tweet,  

         “#Israel’s  most  inhuman  army  kills  #Gaza  civilians,  kids,                women  and  elders  Gaza  Victims  in  Numbers  #HumanRights                #Amnesty.”    

The IDF attempted to create a campaign to craft and control the narrative of the 2012

November Gaza Conflict. Concurrently, Al-Qassam, in response, used similar multimedia and

social media tools to create a campaign reflecting its own attempt to control the narrative, as well

as being indirectly reflective of the IDF’s media strategy. Notably, both groups were trying to

gather followers, create viral messaging, but also emphasize their own version of the narrative as

authentic over the other. This is most apparent within observations of their interactivity with

each other, whether direct or indirect.

Interaction

From the first day of the conflict, the tweets between the IDF and Al-Qassam began to

directly reference each other, even using Twitter’s @ function, implying a direct response. Four

hours after the announcement of the operation, the IDF announced through Twitter that they

“recommend that no Hamas operatives, whether low level or senior leaders, show their faces

15

above ground in the days ahead.” Upon a review of the IDF’s recent tweet history23, this message

stands out as beholding a more direct and threatening tone. Within the context of the situation,

the understated threat is that of death or assassination, as it is juxtaposed on the IDF’s timeline

with tweets declaring the assassination of Al-Jabari. About 45 minutes later, Al-Qassam

responded with a rephrasing of their previous response, “@idfspokesperson Our blessed hands

will reach your leaders and soldiers wherever they are (You Opened Hell Gates on Yourselves).”

Fig. 9. Tweet sent from IDF on November 14, 2012.

This response (fig. 9) marks the first time that Al-Qassam directly (using @) tweeted at

the IDF, in the conflict and within its recent history24. In the past, Al-Qassam had principally

used its Twitter account to release updates on the conflict with Israel, provide links to videos

expressing Al-Qassam’s political views, and announce rocket and mortar launches. However,

during the 2012 November Conflict, Al-Qassam began to use its account as not only a platform

for announcements, but also as an interactive platform of exchange. Although the IDF did not

directly tweet back at Al-Qassam utilizing the @ symbol, they provided other allusions to an

exchange.

The IDF often attempted to correct the statements made on Al-Qassam’s Twitter account

to the IDF’s own followers, with the awareness that many of the followers of the IDF could be

following the media, messages, or even tweets from Al-Qassam. For example, when Al-Qassam

23 Since January 20, 2012. 24 Since March 22, 2011.

claimed that it had shot down a “warplane25,” the IDF negated Al-Qassam’s claim on its twitter

account (see fig. 10).

Fig. 10. Tweet sent from IDF on November 14, 2012.

During the operation, the IDF would provide a daily attempt to refute (see fig. 10 and fig.

11 as two examples) the claims of Al-Qassam related to rocket counts, mortality rate, and

military actions through tweets, infographics, videos, and links to IDF blog posts. With previous

operations, the IDF had learned the importance of not only controlling the narrative from one’s

own perspective, but also how necessary it is to rewrite the narratives of others through tactics of

illuminating “disinformation.”

Fig. 11. Tweet sent from IDF on November 14, 2012. However, unlike the IDF, Al-Qassam responded directly to the IDF’s Twitter attempts to

reduce their reputation for informational accuracy, and thus legitimacy.

Fig. 12. Tweet sent from IDF on November 14, 2012.

While refuting the claims of the IDF, Al-Qassam also accused the IDF of unjustly killing

civilians in Gaza. For the IDF, a response that refers to “unjustly killing civilians” echoes many

25 Though the Al-Qassam Twitter account reported a warplane, the images portrayed an object more closely resembling a drone.

17

of the reports that derived from Operation Cast Lead, from the press and human rights groups,

when not only Al-Qassam and Hamas, but also many international sources asserted that civilians

had died unjustly, rather than just targeted members of Hamas or Al-Qassam. In conclusion, the

interaction between the IDF and Al-Qassam distinctly portrays two parties attempting to use new

media to control not only their personal narrative, but also the narrative of the other. Additionally,

their interaction shows a great attention toward maintaining authenticity. During the November

2012 Conflict, drawing from both branding and interaction, the relationship between the IDF and

Al-Qassam reveals that both groups placed more emphasis on media strategy as it applies to

social media, than in past militaristic operations and campaigns.

Media Response

The responses of the media to the social media strategies of the IDF and Al-Qassam were

varied. Jon Mitchell (2012) called the strategy, “propaganda, pure and simple” and accused the

IDF of “gamifying” the conflict26. TechCruch asserted, “The strategy is a transparent attempt at

controlling the conversation with a one-sided perspective (a.k.a propaganda),” although they

viewed that “the strategy appears to be working27” (Ferenstein, 2012). On Slate, Fruzsina

Eördögh states “It seems that building its propaganda machine according to the whims of the

Western Internet culture has come back to bite the IDF28.” Although many news and media

outlets at first appeared stunned, if not a little impressed, by the IDF’s social media presence,

within days, when images of the actual conflict began to appear in tweets, the juxtaposition of

the real and virtual operations brought Israel’s media-savvy campaign into a new light. The clean,

composed, and perfected viral media that stemmed from the IDF’s feed began to be interpreted

as insensitive, and somewhat authentic. “The odd tone of the writing has taken some people

aback and left the IDF open to mockery and charges of insensitivity regarding a very sensitive

subject,” writes Dashiell Bennett for the Atlantic Wire. Despite the IDF’s attention toward

reducing the authenticity of Al-Qassam Brigades and thus reducing the legitimacy of Hamas and

Gaza as a whole, the tone of their social media strategy provoked a seemingly unplanned and

unwanted response.

Of Winners and Losers

Despite the barrage of criticism that stemmed from American media, several questions

remain. Does the criticism indicate a loss for the IDF? Does the abundance of followers for the

IDF indicate a loss for Al-Qassam? Based on a study29 by Tomer Simon, a researcher at the

Department of Emergency Medicine and PREPARED Center for Emergency Response Research

at Ben Gurion University. Analyzing the hashtags used by both sides (as well as the responses

received), Simon concluded that Israel received greater criticism from the international online

audience than did Hamas. Simon determined that “the perception dominating the online

discourse was that the IDF had embarked on an unjustified attack30”. Despite the organized and

stylized proliferation of messages from the IDF, the international audience shifted their favor

away from the IDF.

Simon believes that this shift in favor is the opposite of what the IDF wants in order to

declare success. “Image shaping, establishing morale, creating a narrative of victory and

overcoming adversity on the home front is essential to this” (Ashkenazi, 2013). For Israel, a

country whose existence is challenged by many other states, image, morale, and narrative control

are deeply integral to national unity. As with the CNN-effect, due to the social media, “the public

opinion shifts according to, and following, media portrayals” (Kogen & Price, 2011, p. 110).

However, more specifically, with social media, public favor sways not necessarily with Twitter

or Facebook portrayals, but with the group that has the most perceived authenticity.

According to Manuel Castells, with the proliferation of computer-mediated

communication (CMC), the nation state no longer has the ability to control the narrative. He

believes that “for the years to come, nation-states will be struggling to control information” and

that that “it is a lost battle” (Castells, 2009, p. 321). The nation-state’s diminishing capacity to

manage the proliferation of information will culminate in the “decentralization of power, further

29 Per Researcher Tomer Simon at Ben Gurion University, the research is under review at this moment for publication and thus the specific data cannot be revealed. However, for a general understanding of the implications of his study, see: http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/hamas-defeated-idf-in-virtual-warfare-during-gaza-conflict-study-shows.premium-1.491677 30 See “Hamas defeated IDF in virtual warfare during Gaza conflict, study shows” by Eli Ashkenazi, published on January 3, 2013: http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/hamas-defeated-idf-in-virtual-warfare-during-gaza-conflict-study-shows.premium-1.491677

19

delegitimizing its protective and representative role” (Castells, 2009, p. 339). With new networks

of communication, even a platform as seemingly trivial as Twitter could lead to some losses of

legitimacy, domestic or international. In the eyes of Castells, as uncontrollable information

networks chip away at the supremacy of established regimes, the definition of statehood begins

is challenged as “the very concept of sovereignty…implies that it is not possible to lose

sovereignty” (Castells, 2009, p. 257). The power that once remained limited in the hands of a

few is beginning to spread to other groups and states that are gaining a voice through media. As

Joseph Nye states, “the information revolution is providing inexpensive means of

communication and organization that allow groups once restricted to local and national police to

become global in scope” (Nye, 2005, 477-47931).

Regardless of the actual “winner” of the November 2012 Conflict, after the operation,

Israel and the IDF both proudly asserted their success in both the military and the media

campaigns, believing that their own strategies had worked. On January 3, citing Simon’s study,

Al-Qassam declared that they had “defeated Israel in virtual warfare during Gaza conflict.”32

Additionally, they stated the “strong content coming out of Gaza during the war” was another

reason for their success. Despite the international criticism and the less popular hashtags, Israel

insisted that it had been victorious. Dratwa claims success because “this was the first time the

foreign media asked more questions about our Twitter activity than about our bombings in Gaza”

(Shamah, 2013). Dratwa’s statement reflects the IDF’s main concern, and thus also the main

indicator of triumph, of the conflict, attention. Ultimately, what both groups want to attain is the

attention of the public, and that, in itself, can be manipulated for engagement or distraction.

Nye asserts that with the proliferation of media and information, the concept of attention

becomes more important. “When people are overwhelmed with the volume of information

confronting them, they have difficulty discerning what to focus on. Attention rather than

information becomes the scarce resource, and those who can distinguish valuable information

from background clutter gain power (Nye, 2005, 1763-176533).” As information has become the

fuel that feeds the media fire, with social media, attention has become the currency. In essence,

what Dratwa alluded to with his claim of success that it wasn’t the Internet popularity that

garnered Israel a win, but rather that audiences had shifted their focus from the real war to the

20

media war. Reporters that ordinarily would have been critiquing the actions of the battlefield,

shifted their interest and thus their stories to those of the online spectrum.

In an interview34 with Gaza-based Palestinian journalist Mohammed Omer, Omer

emphasized that by focusing on the media-war rather than the actual events, journalists and the

public overlook the real battle at hand. “The real story is with the real voices countering the

Israeli Army,” he states. In contrast to Cast Lead, where the dominant story reported across the

world was devoted to documenting the plight of civilians and actualities of the combat, the Gaza

Conflict in November 2012 led the media and thus the public’s attention to a conversation about

Twitter, Facebook, and other online social platforms. For this conflict, Israel’s social media team

guided the narrative by absorbing the attention of the public away from the alternative narrative,

that of the real war. “I really believe we prevented a repeat of the Goldstone Report (which

accused Israel of deliberately targeting civilians in the wake of 2008-9’s Operation Cast Lead),

because a lot more people understand us now” (Shamah, 2013), Dratwa accentuates. Although it

is difficult to determine if social media allows people to understand conflict any better than

before, it does provide a new perspective on how the ownership of narrative is shifting due to

new media formats, and how social media strategies are being shaped as a result of this shift,

especially during times of conflict and war.

Conclusion

As diplomacy, politics, and military operations integrate more with social media, and

incorporate CMC into daily interactions, it becomes more necessary to integrate the analysis of

the online footprint of states and armies into the greater analyses of their actions. Because of

Israel’s innovative use of social media during its conflict with November 2012 Gaza Conflict,

the media strategy from the IDF and the interaction between the IDF and Al-Qassam becomes an

integral case study for comprehending the potential implications of social media on conflict and

diplomacy. Although difficult to determine the true victor of the social media battles between

Israel and Gaza, each party enacted contextually significant media strategies, which have the

potential to become new norm for social media diplomacy.

A rocket fired from #Gaza fell near a kindergarten in Ashkelon a few minutes ago. It's a good thing that school was canceled for the day. 603

18/11/2012 11:37:25 The following are a series of tweets about the IDF targeting of Hamas communications centers in Gaza last night. 89 18/11/2012 11:42:04

Site 1: Hamas comms center, which was in civilian building. IDF only targeted devices on roof & left Hamas offices on 8th floor untouched. 232

18/11/2012 11:44:19

Site 2: Hamas comms equipment on building where several international news orgs are located. Roof antenna hit - rest of building untargeted. 221

18/11/2012 12:14:13

This is what we mean by precision strikes in #Gaza. We targeted a specific point on the building. We did not target any other floors. 251

18/11/2012 12:17:15

If Hamas commanders in #Gaza can communicate with each other, then they can attack us. This is the capability that we targeted. 209
