US to fund $150m increased Israeli propaganda spending to fight anti-genocide movement

The Israeli regime has announced additional spending of $150 million – a 2000% increase – on its “hasbara” (pro-Israel propaganda) efforts in 2025. The funding will mainly be targeted at US universities – and will be paid for by the US government from public funds.

Israel has shredded its own international reputation through its mass slaughter of Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, its endless war crimes including the use of starvation as a weapon and the targeting of hospitals, medical staff, first responders, aid workers and journalists and its habitual lies about them – and has largely neutralised the effectiveness of its traditional accusations of antisemitism in response to any criticism.

The announcement means the US government is using its own citizens money to pay for the rogue terror state to disinform, brainwash and smear them.
