“Israel is spending wads of cash on public diplomacy in a desperate attempt to reverse waning American support for the country after it stands accused of genocide in Gaza and pushing the U.S. into the Iran war. Since Oct. 7, Israel has spent over a billion dollars on global ‘hasbara’ — television appearances, social media campaigns, chat-bot training, and other efforts to influence how people think about Israel. And this ‘public diplomacy’ budget more than quadrupled in the last year alone.” (07/30/26)
