Against the backdrop of accusations that it dragged Trump into war, and the loss of support among conservatives, the Zionist monster, tells us “Haaretz”, has hired another public relations firm and is paying three times as much as its original plan to influence the Internet. The cynical propaganda campaign is now aggressively attacking Iran, Qatar, and China.
This is in order to halt the plunge in its status among the conservative right. Haaretz has learned that the government will pay more than $40 million for an influence campaign intended for the Republican-Christian public, three times the original budget allocated to it. It brings to mind Goebbels’s propaganda. The campaign began at the end of last year, but now it is expanding and focusing its messages on an attempt to justify the war in Iran. Documents submitted to the US Department of Justice also show that the Zionist monster has entered into a new contract with a New York production company that will produce a pro-Israel “digital storytelling” campaign for it at a cost of about $1 million.
Haaretz revealed last November that Israel had signed agreements worth millions of dollars with American content and media companies to run pro-Israel campaigns aimed at a conservative Christian audience. This is in light of the sharp decline in support for Israel since the war in Gaza, even among the public which is traditionally considered pro-Israel. The main contract, worth $6 million, was signed with a public relations firm owned by Brad Prescale who managed Donald Trump’s digital election campaign in 2016 and 2020. In February, Haaretz exposed some of the products provided by Perscale’s company, centered on a network of propaganda sites with pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian content, designed in a way that was predicted to be neutral and factual. The main purpose of websites is to influence the answers provided by search engines and AI-based chats.
Since then, there has been a further deterioration in Israel’s standing on the American right. Polls conducted last March, at the height of the war with Iran, show that this trend is particularly strong among young Republicans. According to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, about 41% of Republicans and 57% of young Republicans (under the age of 50) have a negative opinion of Israel. Overall, about 60% of Americans now hold a negative opinion of Israel, compared to 53% last year and 42% in 2022. Americans’ trust in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is also deteriorating: Almost 60% of the American public does not trust Netanyahu’s decision-making in the international arena, compared to 52% last year and 42% in 2023.
Documents recently filed by Perscale’s company, under the Foreign Agents Act in the United States, show that its agreement with the Israeli government has been updated and expanded, so that from now on, the state will pay $4.5 million for the campaign every month, instead of $1.5 million, for a total of $40.5 million for “digital advertising” over the course of a year.
The company VJSA once again states that the goal of the campaign is to “combat anti-Semitism,” but as it became clear earlier this year, its preoccupation with anti-Semitism is completely marginal. During the war in Gaza, the campaigns focused mainly on establishing an anti-Palestinian narrative, while now the emphasis appears to have shifted to an attempt to justify the war in Iran. This is apparently in response to growing accusations in the United States, including among the American right, that Netanyahu and Israel have dragged Trump into an unjustified war.
An analysis conducted by Haaretz revealed that a new website was recently launched as part of the campaign that purports to “expose the truth about Iran,” and that at the same time, the existing websites have begun to attack Qatar and China more intensely.
The documents also show that Israel recently hired another company, a New York production company called PIRO, to carry out a pro-Israel “digital storytelling” campaign aimed at “influencing American public opinion.” PIRO was founded by Hollywood producer Daniel Rosenberg and advertising personality Tim Pfeiffer, and according to the contract with it, a large part of the campaign budget will be used to produce videos that will be distributed on social media to justify the war.
The new website, TheTruthAboutIran.com, continues the line of its predecessors and purports to provide readers with facts. The site portrays Iran as a direct threat to the United States, and appears to have been set up to try to justify the recent war. Polls show that a clear majority of Americans believe that their country should not have participated in the war. “Following the 12-day war in June 2025, Iran accelerated its nuclear program, moved facilities deep underground and used negotiations to buy time,” the website’s frontpage reads, even though the move to the underground took place more than a decade ago.
At the same time, the messages were sharpened on the other websites set up for the campaign. The Allyvia website, which focuses on the security alliance between the United States and Israel, has been supplemented with articles explaining that Trump was not dragged into the war by Netanyahu, but went to it to strengthen the United States’ standing in the global arena. Another article claims that the war contributed to the security of the citizens of the United States.
The anti-Iranian website is just one sign of what appears to be the new central mission of the influence campaign—drawing a global anti-Western axis of evil led by Iran, China, and Qatar. This propaganda which is billed as an “education and research platform,” has a long list of articles about how Qatar is expanding its grip on the United States. This is according to a report by a pro-Israel American think tank called the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD)) it is alleged that Qatar is pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into the United States, particularly universities, and is using economic ties to buy political influence; that Qatar has “bought” the International Criminal Court and that MAGA member Tucker Carlson, who leads the conservative right’s opposition to the war on Iran, is himself connected to Qatar.
The current campaign links the Iranian-Qatari axis to China as a prominent player in the anti-Western axis. The new website exposes “the Iranian regime’s ties to Communist China,” and various articles on the website frame China’s investment in artificial intelligence tools in English as a hostile influence campaign, describing how fake accounts operating on behalf of Beijing are spreading anti-Semitism on social media. The message is repeated again and again that anti-Israel protest is part of a broader movement against U.S. hegemony, against capitalism, and against Western values. “For many Americans, it’s a matter of national security, economic competition, and the struggle for technological supremacy with China,” one website said.
This is a new line for Israel, which has so far preferred not to confront China. This is despite the fact that since October 7, researchers, including the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), have warned that China is acting against Israel on the cyber and influence front, as part of a strategic partnership with Russia and Iran.
Another pro-Israel influence website called Jewish Onliner, which was first exposed in Haaretz and is not connected to the Perscale campaign, also began publishing anti-China content during the war in Iran.
Alongside the attempt to influence the AI engines, the new documents show that Israel also invests in conventional advertising in the form of ads and banners. In one of them, Trump and Netanyahu are seen side by side with the inscription: “Israel and the United States want peace”
