THE PROBLEM:

When searching Google during operation “Protective Edge” for terms like “War in Gaza” or “#FreePalestine”, most of the content on the first page was anti-Israeli. Israeli content was clearly loosing the battle.

THE OPPORTUNITY:

Although there were over 30,000 daily search queries for conflict-relevant terms on Google in US, UK and Canada, only a fraction of these pages showed ads.
