An Israeli media outlet said this week that Israel is spending a record amount to reverse its slump among American conservatives.
Haaretz reported June 18 that the Israeli government is spending $40.5 million to persuade Christian Republicans. This is three times the campaign’s original budget as the Israelis aim to regain popularity among their most ardent supporters, Americans.

According to Haaretz, a public relations contract was signed in November 2025 and is now being developed with a new story to justify the conflict with Iran.
According to Justice Department filings, Israel has signed a $1 million contract with a New York production company to create a pro-Israel digital narrative campaign, Haaretz reported.
Netanyahu reportedly met with President Trump in the White House Situation Room on February 11, two weeks before the war, and convinced him that Iran’s government could be overthrown in days or weeks. Tehran’s conservative government remains in power after nearly four months of conflict. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Trump have admitted that attacking Iran was done to help Israel, not to benefit the US. Even this is doubtful.
Despite spending taxpayers tens of billions, the war failed to fulfill its goals. The war has cost US consumers and taxpayers $132 billion, according to Moody’s Analytics.

Israeli daily Haaretz published this:
Haaretz reported in November that Israel had partnered with American media and content companies to promote Israel to Christian conservatives. Following the Gaza conflict, support for Israel has declined, even among pro-Israel groups. Brad Parscale’s PR agency, which supervised US President Donald Trump’s 2016 and 2020 digital election campaigns, secured the $6 million contract. Haaretz revealed the firm’s products in February, including a network of balanced and realistic pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian propaganda sites. These sites tried to influence search engines and AI chatbots. Since then, Israel’s American right posture has deteriorated. This trend is particularly pronounced among young Republicans, according to March polls during the Iran war. According to Pew Research Center, 41% of Republicans and 57% of young Republicans (under 50) dislike Israel. More than 60% of Americans dislike Israel, up from 53% last year and 42% in 2022. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is losing American trust. Netanyahu’s international policies are distrusted by 60% of Americans, up from 52% last year and 42% in 2023.
Parscale’s arrangement with the Israeli government has been amended and enlarged to pay $4.5 million per month instead of $1.5 million, totaling $40.5 million for “digital advertising” every year. The new agreement says the campaign’s objective is “combating antisemitism,” but during the Gaza crisis, its webpages focused on an anti-Palestinian narrative; today, they seem to be legitimizing the Iranian war. This is likely a response to right-wing US accusations that Netanyahu and Israel lured Trump into an illegitimate war. A new site, “to expose the truth about Iran,” launched as part of the effort, while the PR firm’s existing sites began targeting Qatar and China more fiercely, Haaretz reported. They also show that Israel engaged Piro, a New York production company, to run a pro-Israel “digital storytelling” campaign to “influence American public opinion.” Movie producer Daniel Rosenberg and advertising executive Tim Piper founded Piro, which offers an AI-discoverable Narrative Operating System.
Contracts assign a large percentage of the campaign budget to “talent” and social media videos. Parscale’s company’s TheTruthAboutIran.com claims to present facts like the prior site. Despite studies showing that a majority of Americans oppose the military assault, the website portrays Iran as a direct threat to the US and appears to have justified the recent battle. According to the site’s homepage, Iran intensified its nuclear development, moved facilities underground, and utilized diplomacy to buy time after the 12-day war in June 2025, even though the underground shift occurred almost a decade before. Other campaign sites concentrated their messaging. Trump went to war to boost America’s global standing, not because Netanyahu forced him to, according to Allyvia, a US-Israel defense alliance website. According to another analysis, the conflict increased US citizen security. The complete story is here.
This post makes you wonder how many conservative news sites have sided with Israel. I’m more skeptical of conservative media after the war than a year ago. You can criticize your own government, but pro-Israel press is financially rewarded and criticizing Israel is called “antisemitic.” Any foreign nation can be criticized, save one. The Nazis are the only regime on Earth that cannot be criticized without involving the worst of history. I believe this false narrative and purposeful strategy to limit intelligent discourse on the matter is beginning to backfire on the globalist elite who have promoted it for decades. I think such twisted thinkers have a mental illness created by decades of religious and political brainwashing, and they will now be subjected to even greater mind control. Ask God to free these brains from the pro-war forces that have ruled American foreign policy.
