how social networks help in recruiting young diplomats?

It is already common knowledge that social media became a tool in recruitment process in the private sector.
I would like to bring to oyur attention our experiment with social media (forum in one of the most popular israel's websites TAPUZ ("orange") whan dealing with the candidates to the new cadet course that will start next year.
The forum started without our previous knowledge or involvement. We found it accidentally, but immediately started to engage with the candidates sharing information about the diplomatic service in general, about the selection process and encouraging them to contact us directly when the questions were too specific or private.
It's not that all the participants respected the rules of civilized dialogue... it is not that we could just give the candidates all the questions and aswers in the written test... But the responces were very positive and encouraging and most of them mentioned that we helped them to understand better the whole process and even make decision. Most of the information we provided on the forum exists on the ministry's website, but on forum the very delivery of the information and the specification of it to the individual cases made the whole difference.
Those of you who read hebrew can visit the forum:

Our experiment evgen got praise from local media for the "successful e-government availablity to the public"...

The tool is hihgly recommended for all diplomatic recruitments.

מקורות הווקיזם כאידיאולוגיה של האנטישמיות החדשה

דור ה-Z תומך בחמאס: מקורות הווקיזם כאידיאולוגיה של האנטישמיות החדשה באמריקה הטבח בעוטף עזה והמלחמה נגד ארגון החמאס הביאו להתפרצות חריגה בעוצמתה של שנאת ישראל ואנטישמיות בארצות הברית. בין המאפיינים החדשים והבולטים של התופעה: רמת העוינות הגבוהה כלפי ישראל, ריבוי תקריות אלימות נגד יהודים, השתתפות גבוהה במחאה של הדור הצעיר (דור המילניום ודור ה-Z) שחלקים גדולים ממנו מסרבים לראות בישראל קורבן של מעשי הזוועה ומצדיקים את פעולת החמאס. מקור תופעות אלה נמצא בזרמים אידיאולוגיים שפשטו בחברה האמריקאית בעשורים האחרונים ואשר מתבססים על תפיסות אידיאולוגיות רדיקליות בנושא אי-שוויון גזעי, מגדרי וחברתי, המושפעות מגישות פוסט-מודרניסטיות בעלות מאפיינים אנטי-ליברליים. למרות היותן שנויות במחלוקת, תפיסות אלה הונחלו במערכת החינוך הציבורית ובמערכת ההשכלה הגבוהה וכיום הן מעצבות את תודעת הדור הצעיר ומשפיעות על עמדתו כלפי הסכסוך הישראלי-פלסטיני ועל יחסו לקהילה היהודית בארה״ב. מאפייני המחאה האנטי-ישראלית התפרצות של עוינות ושנאה כלפי ישראל במרחב הציבורי האמריקאי החלה מייד אחרי הטבח של ה-7 באוקטובר. בדומה למחאה אנטי-י...

A new wave of Islamic terrorism in France and its impact on French politics and society

Image
In the last two months, France has been coping with a new wave of violence that originates from ongoing Islamic radicalization. The French government's response, which was hesitant and inconsistent, increased public anger and strengthened the far-right parties. Mass demonstrations by Hamas supporters turned into anti-Semitic violence, but the attempt to present a united front in the fight against anti-Semitism was met with an indecisive position of President Macron and the refusal of the Left to condemn Hamas. Internal considerations influence President Macron's position regarding the war in Gaza in his attempt to calm the Muslim immigrant neighborhoods and prevent escalation. The trends above create a new political dynamic that requires re-examination and policy adjustments ahead of future challenges. Since the beginning of October 2023, France has once again faced a wave of violent incidents against the background of Islamic radicalization in the country. On October 13, a you...

Hatred of Israel and the new antisemitism through the lens of ideological transformations in American society and the education system

Image
The massacre in Israel's South and the war against Hamas led to an extreme outbreak of hatred of Israel and antisemitism in many Western countries; the United States was no exception. Among the new and prominent characteristics of this phenomenon are the high level of hostility towards Israel, the number of violent incidents against Jews, and the high level of participation in the protests of the young generation (millennials and generation Z), large parts of which refuse to see Israel as a victim of atrocities and overtly justify the actions of Hamas. The source of these phenomena is found in ideological currents that have spread in American society in recent decades, based on radical ideological concepts on race, gender, and social inequality and influenced by a postmodernist anti-liberal approach. Despite their controversiality, these concepts were introduced into the public education and higher education systems; today, they shape the younger generation's mindset and influe...
