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 In a meeting dedicated to harnessing pro-Israel media energy on Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu alluded to a cohort of Israel’s influencers. “We have to fight back. How do we fight back? Our influencers. I think you should also talk to them if you have a chance, to that community, they are very important.”

Actually, it can.

Israelis are highly productive.

They spend around 6% of GDP on defense.

A minority of IDF funding comes from the U.S.

For example, I have a neighbor who proposes via a yard sign that we not sell bombs to Israel. I assure you that if accurate JDAMS are not available to kill only an identified terrorist, the IDF will use indigenous and less accurate 155mm artillery to kill that terrorist. The collateral damage will be higher, and Israel will not let up no matter the funding situation.

Folks need to understand the fundamental nature of Jews and Judaism. Those hostages are lives of infinite value to Israel. They will expend absolutely any amount of money and lives trying to retrieve them. If it takes the whole country marching into gaza with sharpened sticks to go get them, they will. US funding one way or the other does not change Israel’s stance or behavior.

I disagree with Israel on the infinite value of hostages’ lives. But I understand it. They are a democracy and are in the midst of implementing their fundamental nature.

[Uncle Miltie]

So the Jews of Israel are evil in your opinion.

Good to know.

[ChuckHam]

I don’t have a problem with Israel doing this because every country and most multi-nationals do this every day. It’s hypocrisy to just single out Israel for this practice.

Charlie Kirks letter to Netanyahu.

[Romulus]

Overwhelming support because of the millions of Christian zionists who’ve been suckered into dispensationalist nuttery. So Israel’s access to the US treasury is in no danger.

[woodbutcher1963]

Who?

Please feel free to list the FR handles.

I only know the Zeepers and the Vax Shills.

Maybe I just don’t pay close enough attention.
I am literally trying to “make a living” as I type this.
Meaning I am trying to buy and sell truckloads and rail car loads of lumber while I type this to you.

“This post is sponsored by Pfizer or Ukraine or Russia or Israel.”

This post is sponsored by nobody.

Will somebody please sponsor this starving poster?

Lol.

[LuxAerterna]

So how much is Qatar paying for Tucker Carlson?

[roving]

With all the hate I see for Israel, I wonder who’s paying those people.

No thanks. But reading the article, "these influencers are likely being paid...."

Going to the linked PDF and reading it, there seem to be lots of different amounts NOT going to "influencers." The assumptions in the article seem naive. Some details....

Looks like a lot many intermediaries pocketing some nice change, not the individuals at the bottom of the game.

And the DC address looks like someone is working out of a small apartment.

I’ll take an all expense paid trip to Israel!

[Bob434]

A willingness to annoy the bejeebers out of youtube viewers with asinine blogger videos on a daily basis. The more annoying, the more popular it is with the self loathing liberals apparently

“Ok, this is my breakfast bowl, which i use it every morning. I fill it 1/2 full with cherrios, add a little almond milk, and top it with strawberries. Count along with me how many spoonfuls it takes me to fninsh the bowl. Next, ill show how i prepare my coffee, and reveal how many times i stir in a counter-clockwise manner to mix the sugar and almond milk... so stick around “

Influencer!

All people, including Jewish people, within the State of Israel, have a god given right to live in peace free from terrorist acts. They should not invade, or take land, from other people UNLESS they are attacked. When attacked, they have a right to protect themselves, their territories, religious freedom, and have a right to take territory from the enemies that attack them.

Keep the money, just spend it on common sense message.

[faithhopecharity]

I obviously support Israel’s legitimate rights to her land and for her people to dwell in peace without either the Fakestrinian terrorist attacks or the Fakestinian false narrative garbage, etc.
And I post responses to a good number of the online lies about them. Absent truth, we’re condemned to live in darkness.

There are many, many other people around the world who share all or many of these concerns. So many (at least outside of those antisemitic communists, Nazis, and bought-off corrupt politicians so prominent in the mass media)... so many that Jerusalem certainly doesn’t need to hire “influencers.” Therefore, this report appears to just be more “fake news.” But, if Jerusalem is hiring some such PR types — fine and dandy! (I’d certainly apply for one of these jobs except that I prefer to donate my feeble efforts to the cause...)

There is still a danger that all the Qatari and Saudi (and the likes of Soroz) $$$$ promoting terrorists or the terrorist false narrative can mislead some good, well-meaning people into supporting the likes of “Palestinian” Hamas/Muslim Brotherhood, PLO/Abbas/PA/Fatah, Hezballah, Al Qaida, Iran, ISIS, and all the other evil, destructive forces at work in the world today. You can’t escape their false “messaging”— it prevades much of the mass media, Hollywood, and other leftist media and centers of influence in society. In USA, Canada, UK, and several European countries too... must cost zillions of dineros....

(Not to mention the pre-planned, staged “spontaneous demonstrations” like on some college campuses (where people should know better....)

It is one of the most well-financed and pervasive propaganda campaigns in recent memory. To whatever extent a few internet postings can counter this mass-media brainwashing campaign, all the better. No payment required... smiles smiles

Surely it would be cheaper to just stop killing children.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Where’s my check?????????????

[Petrosius]

How about a fuller reading to give context tho those verses:

I ask, then, has God rejected his people? Of course not!a For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel? “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have torn down your altars, and I alone am left, and they are seeking my life.” But what is God’s response to him? “I have left for myself seven thousand men who have not knelt to Baal.” So also at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. But if by grace, it is no longer because of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace. What then? What Israel was seeking it did not attain, but the elect attained it; the rest were hardened, as it is written:

God gave them a spirit of deep sleep,
eyes that should not see
and ears that should not hear,
down to this very day.

And David says:

Let their table become a snare and a trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them;
let their eyes grow dim so that they may not see,
and keep their backs bent forever.

Hence I ask, did they stumble so as to fall? Of course not! But through their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make them jealous. Now if their transgression is enrichment for the world, and if their diminished number is enrichment for the Gentiles, how much more their full number. Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I glory in my ministry in order to make my race jealous and thus save some of them. For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? If the firstfruits are holy, so is the whole batch of dough; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in their place and have come to share in the rich root of the olive tree, do not boast against the branches. If you do boast, consider that you do not support the root; the root supports you. Indeed you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” That is so. They were broken off because of unbelief, but you are there because of faith. So do not become haughty, but stand in awe. For if God did not spare the natural branches, [perhaps] he will not spare you either. See, then, the kindness and severity of God: severity toward those who fell, but God’s kindness to you, provided you remain in his kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off. And they also, if they do not remain in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated one, how much more will they who belong to it by nature be grafted back into their own olive tree.
(Romans 11:1-24)

Thus the Jews were cut off because of their unbelief but God did not abandon them. They will be grafted back on when they accept Jesus Christ. The promises are not just for being Jewish.

[Petrosius]

Read Romans. The Jews no longer have a separate covenant. There is only one covenant in Jesus Christ.

[Uncle Miltie]

I’ve got a few documented on my About page and in my tagline.

I actually think they are independent anti-Semites, not paid my Qatar. But you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference by reading their posts.

[Uncle Miltie]

Whatever that means.

I don’t follow intra-Christian philosophical rivalry any.
