While mass protests, often led by Arab communities and far-left activists, dominate the headlines with anti-Israel rhetoric, a quieter but significant majority of Europeans still sympathize with Israel. Yet this majority is being ignored by the very leaders who should be representing them.

European politicians, facing pressure from vocal mobs and driven by political convenience, are increasingly embracing a Hamas-influenced narrative that paints Israel as the aggressor and terrorists as victims. This distortion of reality threatens not only Israel’s moral standing but the West’s own values of democracy and self-defense.

So, what should Israel do?

First, it must stop relying on silent goodwill. Israeli diplomacy needs to go on offense — not just defending itself, but actively exposing Hamas's brutality, the manipulation of European opinion, and the dangers of appeasing Islamist narratives.

Second, Israel must invest in direct public diplomacy — reaching European citizens through media, cultural engagement, and digital platforms, bypassing biased institutions and traditional outlets. The battle for public opinion is no longer won in parliaments, but in smartphones and on social media feeds.

Third, Israel must call out hypocrisy. Nations that claim to champion human rights while embracing Hamas apologists should be confronted publicly. Trade, defense cooperation, and political access should not come without accountability.

Finally, Israel should seek out and elevate its allies in Europe — governments, organizations, and individuals who still understand what’s at stake. Solidarity should be rewarded, not taken for granted.

Europe is still worth engaging — but only with clear eyes and sharper tools. The war of words is just as critical as the war on the ground.
