Zaki has been running some tournaments in Jerusalem festuring Arabs and Jews competing peacefully in Tavla. And it proves you are right—pretty good headlines.

How to measure how much headlines like this help grow the game is impossible, but no question it can’t hurt.

What I have found out from my travels and meeting backgammon players all over the world is that no matter what our governments think of eachother, the people in every country (at least backgammon players) have no prejudices except one:

We all resent the Japanese players for being so smart.

Now to your idea specifically, I think most would consider it a waste of time and effort to organize. We might get more publicity if we stage a big fight.
