Google’s $45 Million Contract With Netanyahu’s Office to Spread Israeli #Propaganda

Israel’s advertising bureau, which reports to the prime minister’s office, has embarked on a mass advertising and public messaging effort to conceal the hunger crisis. The push includes a high-dollar spending spree on paid advertising, yielding tens of millions for #Google, #YouTube, #X, #Meta, and other tech platforms.

“There is food in Gaza. Any other claim is a lie,” asserted a propaganda video published by the #Israel foreign ministry to Google’s YouTube video platform and viewed more than 6 million times. Much of the video’s reach results from an ad placed during an ongoing and previously unreported $45M advertising campaign initiated between Google and Netanyahu’s office in June.

At least 367 Palestinians, including 131 children, have died as a result of hunger and malnutrition since the war began.
