Mobile Billboard Truck in NYC Screens Footage of Female Soldiers’ Kidnapping by Hamas
Edited by: TJVNews.com
In a poignant display of public diplomacy, the Consulate General of Israel in New York has launched a mobile billboard truck to traverse the city, screening footage of the kidnapping of female soldiers from Nahal Oz. This initiative, following a similar screening in Times Square two weeks ago, aims to bring widespread attention to the atrocities committed on October 7th and to counter the narratives propagated by Hamas and its supporters.
The initiative was unveiled in a launch ceremony at Times Square, where Ambassador Ofir Akunis, Consul General of Israel in New York, emphasized the importance of presenting the truth to the American public. “We will continue telling the truth about the atrocities of October 7th in any way we can,” Akunis stated. “This billboard truck’s screening of the terrible footage of the kidnapping of female soldiers is just one part of our relentless public diplomacy efforts to present the facts to the American public, in the face of incessant lies from Hamas and its supporters.”
The truck, emblazoned with the slogan “Let My People Go,” will navigate through Manhattan’s business districts, ensuring that the harrowing footage reaches a broad audience. The mobile screens will display the kidnapping of the female soldiers, accompanied by detailed descriptions of their fate and a strong call to action. The aim is to galvanize public support and to urge international efforts to pressure Hamas for the immediate and unconditional release of the hostages.
This initiative is part of Israel’s broader strategy to engage in public diplomacy and raise awareness about the crimes committed by Hamas. By bringing the footage directly to the streets of New York, the Consulate General seeks to cut through the misinformation and highlight the human suffering caused by the kidnappings. The move also aims to foster solidarity and support among the American public, encouraging them to join the call for justice and the release of the hostages.
The screening of the footage in Times Square two weeks ago had already become a media event, drawing significant attention and sparking discussions about the ongoing conflict and its humanitarian impact. The decision to extend this initiative with a mobile billboard truck underscores the Consulate General’s commitment to maintaining visibility and continuing to push for international intervention.
The footage, depicting the brutal reality of the kidnappings, serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing crisis. By leveraging high-traffic areas in Manhattan, the Consulate General aims to keep the issue at the forefront of public consciousness and to mobilize broader support for their cause.
The mobile billboard truck initiative by the Consulate General of Israel in New York represents a determined effort to shine a light on the atrocities committed by Hamas and to advocate for the immediate release of the kidnapped female soldiers. As the truck makes its way through Manhattan, it serves not only as a powerful tool for public diplomacy but also as a call to action for the international community to stand against terror and support the victims of these heinous acts. Through relentless efforts like these, the Consulate General hopes to bring justice and relief to those affected by the conflict.
