This week the Forward Observers discuss a must-read article, “ISIS Has a Message. Do We?” The author, Daily Beast’s Jamie Dettmer, joins the show to discuss this troubling point:

“Denouncing murder and enslavement should be an easy task, but for Western governments determined to counter the narrative of the militants of the self-styled Islamic State, it is proving much trickier than they thought.”

How is it possible ISIS has more effective marketing than the forces of freedom in The West? Dettmer discusses the marketing and social media tools that ISIS is using effectively and why The West’s message is ineffective (and kind of nonexistent).

Then Rebecca talks with the Washington Free Beacon’s Aaron MacLean about his recent trip to Israel, the future of Israel, and an election on the horizon that could increase international turmoil.
