As support erodes among younger Republicans, Israel has quietly poured millions into U.S. political marketing—geofencing church pews, hiring Trump-linked digital shops, recruiting influencers, and even trying to shape how AI chatbots answer Israel-Palestine questions.

As Gaza’s civilian death toll mounted, America’s flagship newsrooms tripped over their own rules—soft-pedaling language, delaying recognition of mass casualties, and narrowing Palestinian voices—while independent outlets and “third wave” platforms filled the gap.
