Ministry of Strategic Affairs

Three things, and they're all on the record.

In 2020, a three-year investigation by Plus 972 magazine found that the Israeli Ministry of Strategic Affairs had paid the Post substantial sums to publish content against human rights movements, including anti-BDS material.

Same year, Writers reported that the Post, along with the Times of Israel, the Algemeiner and Arutz Sheva, had published op-eds written by people who didn't exist, with AI-generated headshots as part of a UAE-linked propaganda network.

And in 2023, during the Gaza War, the Post published and then retracted a claim that a dead five-month-old Palestinian baby was a doll.

You wouldn't need a budget line.

So the scale, the government press office, the public diplomacy division at the Ford Ministry, the Ministry of Strategic Affairs, which ran the 4IL and ACT-IL campaigns, and then a ring of NGOs that operate semi-independently but in alignment.

Stand with us, honest reporting, Chimera.

That's the institutional map.

And if Israel gave Mazik some kind of orders or paid him for his American political activities, then it would even be more likely that his work was covered by Farah.

So then they asked, did Mazik work for the Ministry of Strategic Affairs? The document acquired by the Ford, which has never been made public, details not just the total payments he received, but also breaks them into the individual deposit.

It shows that Mazik was paid by the Israeli government's ad agency.

known as the palm which translates a hebrew acronym however the deposits were requested by another entity which was late listed as prime minister's office mls with mls comprised of hebrew letters men lamed and samech a source of knowledge of israel israeli bureaucracy told forward that mls stood for ministry of strategic affairs The Ministry of Strategic Affairs, the Israeli government's primary body tasked with fighting the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against the Jewish state.

Its actions, including creating an official blacklist, banning Jewish supporters of BDS from entering Israel, have been controversial in some American Jewish communities.

Israel is supposed to stand for one principle above all else, which is that Jews are allowed to go to Israel.

Several other Jews who are too critical of Israel get banned, even though they're supposedly a right of return.

And these are the people with whom Han Mazik was doing paid propaganda work.

Then you have the Israeli funding entities from the embassy in Washington to the government itself to the Ministry of Diaspora, which is part of the government.

the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Strategic Affairs, the individual organizations within Israel that are providing funding to these organizations.

The records reveal Israeli entities that signed contracts with American companies and Israeli intermediaries to spread Israeli propaganda in the U.S. after the outbreak of the Gaza massacre following what they call the Consciousness War or Hasbara strategy.

Next, you've got the manipulation projects.

You mean to lie to people and create the illusion that there is mass support for something that there really isn't.

The app works by sending daily missions to registered users, including commenting on specific posts, reporting Palestinian content, or voting in online polls so the interaction appears spontaneous and natural while actually being centrally coordinated.

The app is linked to the Israeli Ministry of Strategic Affairs, MN Target, and the LDRS group representing an advanced model of turning ordinary citizens into digital soldiers working for government propaganda without many of them realizing it.

Yep.

And once it starts moving between multiple entities, it becomes much, much harder to track.

Then you have the Israeli funding entities, from the embassy in Washington to the government itself to the Ministry of Diaspora, which is part of the government, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Strategic Affairs, the individual organizations within Israel that are providing funding to these organizations.

The records reveal Israeli entities that signed contracts with American companies and Israeli intermediaries to spread Israeli propaganda in the US after the outbreak of the Gaza massacre, following what they call the consciousness war or Hasbara strategy.

Next, you've got the manipulation projects.

Again, you have all these different organizations, the Livingston Group, who we talked about, Bridges Partners and Daniel Edelman.

So please, again, I'm gonna link to this so that you can then go through this and look at who is Concert, an Israeli funding entity operating as a front for distributing government funds to organizations and companies executing propaganda campaigns for Israel abroad.

It appeared in FAR records and is linked to the Israeli mil- Ministry of Strategic Affairs before its dissolution, and the Israeli government funding groups like Salem Media Group, that's Parscale, and the Voices of Israel Foundation.

The Concert model represents a mechanism of laundering government funding.

And they organize with an organization called South African Friends of Israel, which is kind of like an umbrella organization for Zionist activism in South Africa.

And this works directly with the Israeli Ministry of Strategic Affairs.

And the fact that the Strategic Affairs Ministry is involved should tell you that the coordination for Christian Zionism is operating on the highest levels.

of Israeli government, not only in the legislative in the Knesset, but also in the executive through this ministry.

And the South African Friends of Israel, in particular, is very invested in operating within the Black South African population, which is historically more resistant to normalizing relations with Israel.
