NEW: Former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale has registered as a foreign agent for Israel to create pro-Israel content to target Gen Z audiences, according to The Hill. The contract for Parscale's Clocktower X LLC is worth $6 million. Israel wants Parscale to "help game algorithms" and target Gen... Z audiences, "across platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, podcasts, and other relevant digital and broadcast outlets," according to Responsible Statecraft. Israel wants the social media campaigns to hit a minimum of 50 million impressions per month. "Clock Tower will create new websites to influence how AI GPT models such as ChatGPT, which are trained on vast amounts of data from every corner of the internet, frame topics and respond to them — all on behalf of Israel," Responsible Statecraft reported. The contract says that Parscale's "Agency shall provide strategic communications, planning, and media services in support of Client’s engagement by the State of Israel to develop and execute a nationwide campaign in the United States to combat antisemitism." Clocktower X LLC will be primarily corresponding with chief of staff at Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Eran Shayovich. The revelation comes after Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said on camera that Israel needs to use social media as a "weapon." Insane.show more

People who become propaganda agents for foreign countries need to have their citizenship revoked.

Parscale is one of the best at what he does, too. This is a big deal.

He is one of many, I guarantee it. We are an occupied nation.

Still can't believe this is real.

Anyone who takes money—either directly or indirectly—from a foreign nation to sway public opinion in the US is a traitor. And if I find out which “influencers” are being funded to spew foreign propaganda on behalf of ANY nation, you WILL be called out. Think twice before taking money from Parscale.

HAMAS has used social media and gotten caught making staged videos to form public opinion, so this is the natural response.

Hamas comparatively has very minimal influence online.

Their fake “starvation” and “dead people” videos are pushed by the pro-Palestine cult. I guess someone publicly registered to knowingly promote “pro-Israel content to combat antisemitism” isn’t the scary thing to me that others seem to think it is.

@CollinRugg Why would anyone have a problem putting out positive social media on Israel when the entire world including all overseas media, CNN, MSN, the UN, ICC, et al are vehemently demonizing the only democracy in the Middle East?

@KevinMNelsonUSA @CollinRugg It’s not about whether it’s a democracy or not, it’s about them committing horrific crimes against humanity. Israel wants to cover up the truth of their atrocities; the decent people of the world want to call it out.

@frierdo60 @CollinRugg Atrocities are what happened 10.7 Israel’s response marks the end of the perpetual cycle of atrocities inflicted by their neighbor.

@frierdo60 @CollinRugg You are so painfully uninformed it should be criminal. You have the audacity to call yourself ‘pro-life’ while cheering the mass slaughter of innocent children. You are no Christian.

@frierdo60 @CollinRugg So should I cheer for HAMAS killing people instead of Israel finally destroying this threat that has sought war for centuries? I picked a side, as have you. Let’s stick to the 20th-21st century if it makes you feel better

Stop blowing people up and maybe you don’t need to drop 6 million for people to like you.

The polling supports your statement.

2 years late after Qatar poured billions into social media to demonize israel among the GenZ. At least Israel waking up to the PR war against Ham@s terrorists which is insanity.

Americans are waking up.

Gen Z -

We need social media posts, especially on X where it’s the town hall, to have a tag if they are being paid by someone to promote or influence. Politics will change. Should be illegal to post otherwise if paid

This is kind of exactly what Charlie Kirk advocated for in his letter to Israel. I think that other countries like Qatar, China, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE also hire U.S. firms for PR and social media to shape how Americans see them. It’s pretty common under FARA rules for transparency.

And we just welcomed Netanyahu to the white house just yesterday. When is America going to wake up

With all the anti Israel activism I see every minute on X and other platforms, this sounds like the right move for Israel. I have no doubt Qatar, Palestine, Saudi Arabia et al have tons of registered foreign agents working overtime. Now start the hate.

Wow this is so crazy, Qatar has poured billions into universities and social media to influence anti-Israel sentiment and now Israel wants to counter that narrative. Oh so so terrible. This is crazy.

Exactly why is he it insane? You have all foreign governments doing the same exact thing, including America. Israel is just trying to counter the conspiracies that are spreading like wild fire on social media. Which are led by Qatar and antisemites like Candace and Tucker

Countries creating propaganda to market themselves is nothing new. America does it. A lot. Marketing makes the world go round.

Lol. Every influencer parscale communicates with should be labeled as an israeli agent. I propose putting a yellow star by their names instead of a blue check. @elonmusk

> $6 million. 😂😂😂 You can't make this number up. You just can't. Follow @Classicist9999

🚨 The FBI conducted a raid in Portland, where an illegal immigrant was arrested for pointing lasers at military helicopters. Investigations revealed he was living with three other illegals. All four are now in ICE custody and awaiting deportation proceedings."

Israeli govt spending 6 million to brain wash Americans. How is this legal?

50 Million impressions a month? For $6 Million? Hold my beer.

What better way to destroy whatever positive perception is left. Six million is quite cheap, considering they will be parroting talking points, not what they actually believe. Anyone who partakes in this propaganda campaign should be shamed forever.

Bad take. What’s “insane” about this? Sounds like they’re enacting the suggestions that Charlie Kirk sent to Netanyahu in the form of a long letter, since Israel is clearly losing the global PR battle. Israel wasn’t making any effort at all. (Mistake) Better late than never.

When they say 6 million dollars. They mean 6 million American tax payer dollars to have our nation propogandized. 😐

Why is this insane? Do you not realize that’s what our enemies have done to us? Why wasn’t it insane when they did it?

His citizenship should be revoked

@DavidNY182 Why is this insane? Charlie kirk wrote Bibi a 7 page weapon pleading with him to do this. To hire a pr firm to counter the bad pr the left is throwing at israel. He asked bibi to target gen z and other young people who r becoming indoctrinated with antisemitic lies in real time

This is exactly what Charlie Kirk suggested to Netanyahu. Why are you so shocked? How much money and influence has Qatar had over social media? American universities? His company is private, correct? So what if he worked in gov't before. The double standard here is laughable. The west is in an information war for our survival. This is necessary.

So Israel hired this guy, Trump's former campaign manager, who eventually went insane... as a foreign agent for the state of Israel, to recruit American Gen Z Influencers willing to “change the narrative” for Israel.
