In 2007 [[Elias Buchwald]], ran a four-day training session for 17 high-level Israeli spokespersons from government agencies and consulates. The session was organized by [[5W Public Relations]], the American Jewish Congress and the Israeli Foreign Ministry. "We want Americans to relate to Israel emotionally, not just impersonally," Buchwald said. "The point should be ‘Israel has what you like' by using warm, evocative and colorful language." Reporter Gary Rosenblatt summarised Buchwald's advice as "keep it short, make it direct, and no matter what the question, know beforehand what message you want to get across and stick with it."
