Israel Allocates $730M to Propaganda Arm as Global Image Collapses

Israel is pouring close to $730 million into a global influence operation as it scrambles to recover from a severe collapse in international standing triggered by its military campaign in Gaza.

The budget, equivalent to approximately 2.35 billion shekels, will fund an aggressive multi-front effort targeting Western audiences through paid digital advertising, professional lobbying, social media influencer networks, and carefully coordinated messaging strategies across major platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and X.

Tel Aviv has dressed the initiative up as "public diplomacy." Observers with a longer memory recognise the machinery: a turbo-charged version of hasbara, the state-backed communications apparatus Israel has deployed for decades to shape foreign perception of its policies.

The timing is not accidental. Israel is navigating simultaneous pressure from international courts and human rights bodies, sustained mass protests across Western capitals, and an accelerating boycott movement that has found its deepest roots among younger demographics in the United States, Europe, and Australia, precisely the audiences this campaign is designed to win back.

What makes this moment different is where that sentiment lives. Support for Palestine has not just grown; it has embedded itself into the same digital platforms Israel now intends to flood with counter-messaging. TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube became organically hostile terrain. The $730 million is an attempt to buy it back.

In 1290 all Jews were driven out of England. In 1306 they were expelled from France. In 1430 exiled from Germany, followed by Spain and Portugal. Boycotted in Italy, and time after time tossed out of every major European city.

After the centuries of expulsions, in 1492, Muslims (The Ottoman Empire) opened their doors for the Jewish. in the late 17th and 18th centuries, as the Ottoman Empire became less stable, Jews were finally allowed back into England after 366 years of total banishment.

After 1848, hundreds of thousands of Jews left Central Europe to escape rising nationalism and "pogroms" (anti-Jewish riots).

After WWI, Britain took control of Palestine from the Ottomans. From 1917 to 1939, Muslims (Palestine) opened their doors for the Jewish as usual.

In 2026, some Western politicians lecturing us (Muslims) on how to live peacefully with Jews!

Read some history.

Israel is carrying out attacks more than 9/11 without accountability. This is very dangerous, whoever is backing them or arming in anyway should realize how this could be turned against them in future.
It’s better to put a stop to it now and force it to declare its borders for the right of existence to be realistic, otherwise it's a weapon to steal more land from genuine owners.
