| This
was one of the most difficult Public Relations campaigns Leyden
was ever involved in. Being up against the Israeli government to
put pressure on the PLO, the Syrian and Iranian governments produced
limited success. The picture and story below was seen in newspapers
and TV stations worldwide. Below, as a direct result of the media
campaign, the Baumel family receives one half of their son's dogtag
given to Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin by PLO Chairman Yassar Arafat.
Leyden was responsible for the campaign's slogan "In The
Spirit of Peace - Release Our Boys". Below, Leyden was
responsible for coordinating this news conference outside the PM's
Office. In fact, it's Joel Leyden's hand holding up the background
poster for which Admon Advertising and Leyden designed. Whenever
their is a campaign as sensitive as the one below, it is in the
government's interest to end it by quietly creating dissension among
it's members. They were successful - the campaign weakened and these
Israeli families continue to wait for their son's (MIA's) release
and return to Israel. |
