An investigation by The Guardian reveals that the Israeli government has been actively working to influence U.S. discourse on the Gaza war and related issues. Documents show that Israel has relaunched a controversial entity to shape U.S. social media content, pass legislation equating criticism of Israel with illegal discrimination, and monitor pro-Palestinian activists on college campuses. The efforts include significant financial investments, with at least $8.6 million spent to shape U.S. and European discourse. The campaign, led by Voices of Israel envisioned as a 'PR commando unit,' also aims to redefine antisemitism in U.S. law and has targeted U.S. universities, media companies, and legislative bodies since October 7, with the involvement of former Israeli officials and participation of American politicians.
