Israel to fund tour for MAGA and pro-Trump influencers: Report (www.aljazeera.com)

Haaretz report says Israel plans to fly 16 social media influencers who support Trump’s MAGA and America First campaigns.

The influencers each have hundreds of thousands to millions of followers. They will be flown in to counter what the Israeli government sees as declining support for Israel among young Americans, the report said, without citing any date.

“With the rise of the America First movement and MAGA in American politics, it’s essential for Israel that the movement adopt a pro-Israel position,” Yacov Livne, senior deputy director of the Israeli Foreign Ministry’s Department of Public Diplomacy, was quoted as saying in the report.

“[While] older Republicans and American conservatives still hold pro-Israel views, positive perspectives towards Israel are falling across all younger age groups,” it said, according to the report.

The influencers will be pushed to share messaging that aligns with Israeli policy regarding the Palestinians. “We are working with influencers, sometimes with delegations of influencers,” an unnamed source from the ministry told Haaretz.

Israel365 promotes support for Israel, specifically among Christians, based on biblical principles. Its website says the group “stands unapologetically for the Jewish people’s God-given right to the entire Land of Israel”.

The organisation also rejects a two‑state solution as a “delusion” and describes its mission as defending “Western civilization against threats from both Progressive Left extremism and global jihad”.

People who think religion is real and should have a hand in politics… … … have no place in modern civilized democracy

It’s like when Hitler toured Italy. Or when Mussolini toured Germany. Either way, what the fuck.

Defending Western civilization against threats from both Progressive Left extremism and global jihad.

Ah yes, the infamous Marxist-Islamist menace.

It’s the everyone-else menace.

I don’t even engage with people who think that criticizing a government is the same as criticizing a religion.

If you think that using the word “genocide” to describe what’s happening in Palestine makes me antisemitic somehow, then fine. You’ve just told me that you don’t know what words mean. Fuck off and don’t talk to me.

You’re pro-semetic, since Palestinians are also from Semetic culture. Arabs are the largest ethnic group within it.

Israel is known for creating false flags to try to pull the US into conflicts along with them. I would not be surprised if some “Hamas” fighters attack the tour to try to enrage the maga group into pushing for more weapons to be sent

The USA-Israel couple is truly the most degenerate thing in the world. If only the rest of the world had the balls to ostracize them once and for all…

Just drop them off in the Gaza strip, preferably without a parachute.
