🪳|This is how Israel maintains its image as a "victim" in the eyes of the American public, a strategy that is neither accidental nor haphazard, but carefully planned and funded.

For 2026, the Israeli government has budgeted $730 million for a campaign to "shift global public opinion." In 2025, the budget stood at $150 million. The specific purpose of these funds is explicitly outlined in Israel's own budget documents.

📋 How it works

Under U.S. law, anyone hired by a foreign government to influence American public opinion must register with the U.S. Department of Justice. In a single month in 2025, four U.S. companies registered to work for Israel. Each was hired by an advertising office based in Frankfurt, Germany...an office itself contracted by the Israeli government.

Among the firms hired was one specializing in political communication consulting and outreach to church communities.

They executed a series of operations across the United States:

· California: A political consulting firm was hired to place advertisements targeting churchgoers.
· Washington, D.C.: A two-person firm was hired to recruit social media influencers.
· Virginia: A company was hired to run advertisements on X (formerly Twitter).
· Ohio: A former campaign manager for Donald Trump’s re-election bid was hired to produce videos targeting young Americans.

By the end of March 2026, these four companies had received over $27 million in Israeli funding, with more than half going to the video production project in Ohio. The Frankfurt-based entity continued to coordinate the effort, authorizing additional monthly payments of $4.5 million to the Ohio firm through October 2026.

🎯 The Goal: Stemming the shift in young Americans' views on Israel

The plan’s objective is clear: to "halt the decline in support for Israel among American Evangelical Christians." As young Americans increasingly distance themselves from Israel, the initiative aims to leverage church platforms to reframe the "bomber" as a "victim," thereby shoring up public support for continued U.S. military aid.  As long as this narrative can be successfully crafted portraying the targets of the bombing as the "dangerous" party and the bombers as the ones "under attack" then the supply of weapons will continue, diplomatic cover will remain intact, and that layer of "moral shielding" will never be stripped away. This is the true purpose of that money.

📝 Players: The Israeli government, an advertising agency in Frankfurt, and four U.S. firms.
· Target: U.S. public opinion.
· Ultimate Goal: Maintaining unconditional support for Israel.

This is not a grassroots movement. It is a government-led media campaign with a budget of $730 million, designed to influence U.S. public opinion.
