What it claims

Israel is cast as an aggressive state that systematically violates international law and human rights to pursue a “Greater Israel” project. The campaign uses accusations of war crimes, torture, and illegal land grabs to undermine the state's legitimacy in the eyes of its citizens and the international community.

Target audience

The Israeli home frontThe protest movement & liberal audiencesArab citizens of Israel

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.

  • Israeli prison guards systematically use sexual violence against detainees to break their will.

Goal

To sow a sense of guilt and moral decay regarding their own state among Israelis, provoking internal division and emigration.

Techniques used

  • Loaded LanguageUse of terms like “tyrants”, “worst of oppressors”, and “Zionist project” to dehumanize the Israeli leadership.
  • Appeal to Fear / PrejudiceClaims about plans for a “Greater Israel” as a threat of endless war for the entire region.

The real grievance it exploits

The narrative exploits deep concerns within Israeli society regarding the moral standing of the IDF and the country's international isolation due to prolonged hostilities.

How to counter

  • Technique exposure: Note the use of emotionally charged accusations without evidence by Iranian outlets to create the image of a “pariah state”.
