“Bridges Partners, a firm working for the 🇮🇱 Ministry of Foreign Affairs, sent invoices for its “Influencer Campaign” to Havas Media Group 🇩🇪 , an international media group working for Israel. The invoices detailed a sum of $900,000 (June-Nov), for a cohort of 14-18 influencers to create content.”

This should be a truly massive scandal in the Jewish world. Obviously, many of us knew and assumed this was occurring, but the proof is now out there and it needs to be called out.

We have US-based influencers pretending to speak for themselves but actually working directly for the Israeli govt.

Israel is paying influencers $7,000 per post

Netanyahu referred this week to a 'community' pushing out preferred messaging in US media — and boy are they making a princely sum
