Justifying Genocide – Israel Allocates $150 Million to Propaganda Efforts palestinechronicle.com
Israel has allocated an additional $150 million to its 2025 budget in an effort to reshape global opinion over its ongoing genocidal assault in Gaza, the Middle East Monitor (MEMO) has reported, citing the Knesset.
The 20-fold funding increase aims to boost Tel Aviv’s propaganda (known in Hebrew as Hasbara) and justification of its military assault on the besieged enclave, the report noted.
While at the same time, portraying the Palestinian struggle as “anti-Semitic” and as a form of “Nazi” terrorism aimed at eliminating Jews, the MEMO report added.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, commenting on the increase, said: “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 reportedly added.
According to Drop Site News, the additional funds mark “a staggering 20-fold increase in funding for ‘consciousness warfare’ activities compared to previous years.”
It said the propaganda campaigns would target American college campuses, social media platforms and the foreign press and would be “with American Jewish organizations and the Diaspora Affairs Ministry.”
