Zionist ‘israel’ Offers Influencers $7,000 Per Post in Propaganda Initiative: Report
The zionist cabinet is reportedly compensating social media influencers with payments of up to $7,000 for each post as part of a strategic online initiative designed to influence public opinion.
In a recent meeting focused on garnering pro-Israel media backing, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu highlighted the significance of leveraging Israel’s influencers. He stated, “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.”
Recent documents revealed by the online magazine Responsible Statecraft suggest that social media influencers may be receiving substantial payments, reportedly around $7,000 per post, to support the Israeli regime on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
Bridge Partners, an American company engaging with the Israeli foreign ministry, issued a series of invoices related to its “Influencer Campaign” to Havas Media Group Germany, an international media conglomerate affiliated with Israel.
Invoices outline a total expenditure of $900,000, scheduled from June to November, to enlist a group of 14-18 influencers for content creation.
According to a document submitted under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, the funding specified is allocated for both “payments for influencers and production.” However, the document does not detail how the funds are divided between these two purposes.
Considering the administrative production expenses up to September 16, an estimated amount of $552,946 remains allocated for influencers between June and September this year.
A company projected that the group was anticipated to generate between 75 and 90 posts within the specified period. This calculation indicates that at the lower range, the cost per post would be approximately $6,143. At the upper range, individual influencers might earn up to $7,372 for each post.
Bridge Partners characterizes its efforts as facilitating the enhancement of cultural exchange between the United States and Israel.
The company has recruited Nadav Shtrauchler, a former major who served in the spokesperson unit of Israel’s Ministry of Military Affairs.
The Bridge Partners initiative, known as the “Esther Project,” has raised questions regarding its potential links to a similarly named effort by the Heritage Foundation. The latter, “Project Esther,” is a campaign designed to combat anti-Semitism by labeling critics of Israel as part of a purported terrorist support network. However, any direct connection between the two campaigns remains uncertain.
Google has embarked on a $45 million advertising campaign in collaboration with Netanyahu’s office, aimed at disseminating pro-Israel messages that refute claims of famine in Gaza.
The initiative, which commenced in June, is being conducted via Google’s YouTube platform and its Display & Video 360 service.
