“We have to fight back. How do we fight back? Our influencers. I think you should also talk to them if you have a chance, to that community, they are very important.”
This was the demand war-criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, made in a meeting dedicated to harnessing pro-Israel media energy on Friday last week.
Netanyahu alluded to a cohort of Israel’s influencers. being paid by Israel around $7,000 per post on social media such as Tik Tok and Instagram on behalf of Israel. US President Donald Trump is sponsoring a deal to concentrate US control of TikTok in the US and has brought on board several of his key allies, who are all rabid supporters of Israel.
Bridge Partners, a firm working for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, sent a series of invoices for its “Influencer Campaign” to Havas Media Group Germany, an international media group working for Israel.
The invoices detailed a sum of $900,000, starting in June and slated to end in November, for a cohort of 14-18 influencers to create content.
The document notes that the funding is for both “payments for influencers and production,” but does not provide a breakdown between the two.
When taking into account the administrative production costs through Sept. 16 — legal fees, banking fees, marketing fees, and other project services noted in a separate document — that leaves an estimated sum of $552,946 for the influencers between June and September of this year.
“Weapons change over time… the most important ones are on social media,” Netanyahu said, before quizzing the group on what’s the most important one that is being “purchased” right now.
One influencer guessed “bots.” Netanyahu corrected them: “TikTok.”
He added that the other key platform is X, stressing Elon Musk is “not an enemy” and must be engaged.
He urged the content creators to help secure support for the Israeli apartheid state.
As the opposition to the Israeli genocide grows across the globe, the Zionists are increasing spend on social media to try to halt the changing narrative.
Last week it was revealed Israel is also paying US President Donald Trump’s former advisor $6-million to create websites and content designed to train AI models like ChatGPT with pro-Israel messaging.
