ISRAEL ALLOCATES $150M TO SWAY GLOBAL OPINION OVER GAZA GENOCIDE

Sat 04 January 2025:

Israel has allocated an additional $150 million to its 2025 propaganda budget in an effort to reshape global opinion over its genocide in Gaza, according to the Knesset.

The 20-fold funding increase aims to boost Tel Aviv’s narrative and justification of its war against the besieged enclave while portraying the Palestinian struggle as “anti-Semitic” and as a form of “Nazi” terrorism aimed at eliminating Jews and to promote Islamophobia in European countries in an effort to paint the Palestinian struggle as no different from Daesh. The aim of such action is to end sympathy or support for the Palestinian cause and justify the genocide being orchestrated in Gaza.

Commenting on the increase, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar claimed “Israeli propaganda efforts and the war of consciousness have not received the critical and life-saving resources and tools they require for decades.”

“I am determined to make a change. Every shekel allocated to this cause is an investment, not an expense, and it will strengthen Israel and its standing in the world,” he added.

It is estimated that Israel has killed more than 300,000 Palestinian in the Gaza Strip alone since October 2023 with a further 835 killed in the occupied West Bank, including east Jerusalem in that time.
