What it claims

The Israeli Prime Minister is portrayed as an isolated figure, despised globally and accused of betraying his own people. The campaign uses statements from foreign politicians and manipulative videos to convince Israelis of the inevitability of an international tribunal and a total loss of state legitimacy.

Target audience

Examples (paraphrased)

We paraphrase rather than quote: propaganda's exact wording is built to spread, so we carry the claim and not the craft. Each example cites the post it came from.

  • The Mayor of New York has promised to personally arrest Netanyahu and hand him over to The Hague if he dares to attend the UN General Assembly.

  • Netanyahu is using despicable AI videos to mock Gadi Eisenkot, whose son died in Gaza, by showing him preferring to embrace Arab politicians.

Goal

To deepen internal divisions in Israel and demoralise society by fostering a sense of total international isolation and the “toxicity” of their own government.

Techniques used

  • Appeal to Fear / PrejudiceStoking fear regarding the arrest of the Prime Minister in New York and his transfer to the International Criminal Court.
  • Name Calling or LabelingUsing labels like “war criminal” and accusations of “crimes against humanity” to delegitimise the state leader.

The real grievance it exploits

Real concerns among Israelis regarding the deterioration of the country's international image, the threat of sanctions, and the deep political divide over the government's accountability for events following October 7.

How to counter

  • Technique exposure: Note the use of marginal foreign voices or statements taken out of context to create the illusion of a “global verdict”. This is a classic method of psychological pressure aimed at making Israelis feel abandoned by the world.
