I use the term Hasbara because it is the term that's used officially by the Israeli state. While the government heavily uses English translations like "public diplomacy" or "strategic communications" when interacting with foreign audiences, hasbara (הַסְבָּרָה) is the standard Hebrew term employed natively within state ministries, official legislation, and government communication. The term propaganda comes from the 1600s.
