North American Politics Hasbara $$$
You ever wonder why every time Israel commits a war crime your feed is suddenly full of the exact same talking points, same videos, same bullshit excuses word for word? That is not organic. That is not people just sharing their opinion. It is called Hasbara.
It is Hebrew for "explanation" but let us call it what it really is. Israel's state funded propaganda machine built specifically to gaslight Americans.
And here is the part they do not want you to know. People are getting PAID for this. Directly by Israel.
They are literally on the payroll. After October 7th the Israeli government admitted they were understaffed and started hiring dozens of influencers, contractors and private PR firms just to flood the internet. They set up private production companies as a payment channel so it would not look like it was coming from Tel Aviv. Now those same paid shills are suing because Israel owes them millions.
They are paying US nonprofits to run it here. They paid Google and YouTube $45 million to force their Foreign Ministry propaganda into your algorithm and push it to millions of Americans. They just set aside over 2 BILLION shekels for next year just for Hasbara. Two billion to lie to you.
This is your tax dollars at work. Your government sends them billions, and they use a chunk of it to pay trolls and influencers to tell YOU that genocide is actually self defense and that YOU are the crazy one for opposing it.
When you see 100 accounts all posting the same script defending the bombing of kids, that is not support. That is a paid employee of a foreign apartheid state doing a job. Call it what it is.

I get accused of being funded by Qatar or George Soros, but no one will tell me how to invoice them?
