Israel has spent over $1bn on propaganda since it began Gaza genocide

Israel has spent more than a billion US dollars on ‘hasbara’ — foreign influence — campaigns since 7 October 2023, according to new analysis by the Quincy Institute. The figure is calculated from US ‘foreign agent’ registration and represents direct spending by the colony. Indirect spending through pro-Israel groups and billionaires is not included.

Now, even analysts from the ethno-state believe the reputational damage is done. No amount of propaganda can save them. Crying wolf carries consequences Since 7 October, Israel has aggressively amplified its victimisation narrative, asking for condemnation of Hamas and spreading misinformation across news channels. Therein lies the rub… the Israelis, so convinced by their own narrative which casts them (the aggressors) as the victims, had the gall to publicly…
