This is a timeline of a sophisticated, well-funded and deliberately opaque influence operation conducted by Israel and its allies within the US to target conservatives. Polling data shows Israel has permanently lost the American left and they are losing the American right, particularly young conservatives. Israel's campaign seeks to recast criticism of a foreign nation's policy as a form of bigotry, weaponize faith, and co-opt American institutions, all while systematically evading the laws designed to protect the American public from such foreign propaganda.
Laying the Legal and Ideological Groundwork2018: Years before the public-facing campaign would begin, the groundwork was being laid in the shadows. The Israeli Knesset, anticipating a need for more deniable channels of influence,
sought legal advice from US attorneys specializing in the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA). Their goal was not compliance, but circumvention; to learn how to funnel money and directives without the transparent label of "foreign agent."
11/2023: Amichai Chikli, Israel's Minister of Diaspora Affairs,
briefed Knesset lawmakers on the growing problem of anti-war protests among young Americans, particularly on elite university campuses. Chikli's solution was to go on the offensive. He launched a targeted push to counter critics, a blueprint that would define the next two years:
- to boost online support for Israel,
- target advocacy for Palestinians,
- crush student protests to divest from Israel on U.S. college campuses, and
- to codify the IHRA definition of antisemitism into U.S. law at every level of government.
9/18/2024: In response to the growing criticism and opposition to Israel within the American right, the
Conference of Christian Presidents for Israel (CCPI) was founded by Tony Perkins (Family Research Council), Michele Bachmann (former US House Rep), Luke Moon (Gen Zion & the Philos Project), and Mario Bramnick (Latino Coalition for Israel). Patterned explicitly after the long-established Jewish "Conference of Presidents," its mission is to cement Christian Zionist support as an unshakable pillar of US policy,
with a specific focus on supporting Israeli annexation of the occupied West Bank.
10/7/2024: The ideological justification for silencing critics of Israel is provided by The Heritage Foundation's "
Project Esther." This document, which derives its data from Israeli-funded and managed NGOs like Canary Mission, NCRI, ISGAP, and the ADL, creates a roadmap for
redefining political criticism of Israel as antisemitism, and ultimately, as a form of terrorism to be criminalized. While this roadmap was initially used on student protesters, it would also be used to silence conservatives (
Netanyahu's Woke-Reich isn't just an insult).
12/2024: The Israeli Knesset puts significant financial muscle behind the effort,
approving a massive $150 million budget for "hasbara", a euphemism for state-sponsored propaganda targeting the U.S. and the West. This funding stream would become the lifeblood of the influence machine.
Seizing the American Apparatus1/7/2025: ADL's Jonathan Greenblatt travels to the Israeli Knesset to introduce the concept of the "
8th Front War on Information in America," formalizing the idea that
American public discourse is a battlefield to be dominated.
1/29/2025: The influence campaign scores a major victory. President Donald Trump signed
Executive Order 14188, building on a 2019 order that adopted the IHRA definition of antisemitism.
This order effectively codifies into US policy certain bible references and criticism of Israel as antisemitism and directs the full force of the federal government to use this definition to combat so-called "hate." 2/5/2025: In a move of profound significance, yet little known, newly appointed Attorney General
Pam Bondi, on her first day, disbands the Foreign Influence Task Force, the very DOJ office responsible for enforcing FARA.
The change specifically limits DOJ prosecutors from criminally charging those involved in public-relations work and policy advocacy on behalf of foreign businesses and nonprofits. This deliberate incapacitation of the enforcement mechanism
gave a green light to foreign influence operatives, ensuring that the Knesset's 2018 plan to skirt FARA could proceed with minimal risk of prosecution.
2/7/2025: The fusion of state and faith is cemented with the appointment of fervent Christian Zionist Paula White-Cain as White House Faith Leader, placing a key Israel ideological ally in a position of high-level influence.
Mobilizing the Messengers: Faith and Influencers4/11/2025: Paula White-Cain interviews Benjamin Netanyahu on Daystar TV, a Christian Zionist network that broadcasts from Israel. During the interview, she proclaims that Christians must visit Israel to go to heaven, a stark example of theological blackmail being deployed for political ends.
7/20/2025: The Israeli Foreign Ministry announces a program to send
550 U.S. Influencers on fully paid trips to Israel by year's end, with the goal of creating a cadre of sympathetic social media voices.
7/28/2025:
Daystar TV hosts a conference in Israel, featuring Paula White-Cain, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Sarah Netanyahu. Publicity videos were produced by
The Meaning Channel, run by Israeli-American dual citizen, Nav Jacobi. Netanyahu announces Israel's "8th Front War on Information in America," to combat the "lies" and White-Cain reiterates her divine ultimatum: "God will only bless those who bless Israel." The event is sponsored by the Israel Ministry of Tourism, Israel Foreign Ministry, Shomron Regional Council, and the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
7/30/2025: Two days later, Show Faith by Works, LLC, a mysterious marketing entity linked to Chad Schnitger (who is connected to Ralph Reed, Faith & Freedom Coalition & CCPI),
registered in California.
7/31/2025: The following day,
the CCPI holds a private meeting to counter the "woke-right defamation of Israel," targeting influencers like Theo Von, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Marjorie Taylor-Greene, and Steve Bannon. Attendees include:
- Ralph Reed, Faith & Freedom Coalition
- Luke Moon, Gen Zion & the Philos Project
- Mario Bramnick, self pro-claimed Apostle, Latino Coalition for Israel
- Tony Perkins, Family Research Council
- Jewish Network Syndicate (JNS)
- Yehuda Kaploun, is an Israeli-American Chabad rabbi, nominated in 2025 by U.S. President Donald Trump to be the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism
- Representatives from the Israeli government
- Yair Netanyahu (Benjamin Netanyahu's son)
8/4/2025: Billionaire
Bill Ackman hosts a meeting in the Hamptons to discuss support for Israel with influencers including Charlie Kirk, Seth Dillon, CJ Pearson, Xaviaer DuRousseous, Emily Saves America, Lou Holly,
Kristan Whann, and UK attorney Natasha Hausdorff as well as others. Reports allege it was
a high-pressure "intervention" to bring Kirk and others into line, with Hausdorff seen screaming at Kirk.
8/10/2025: The influencer payoff begins.
Israel365 takes a group of U.S. influencers, including Xaviaer DuRousseous, Emily Saves America, Jeremy Abramson, Cam Higby, Brooke Goldstein, Jayne Zirkle, Eitan Fischberger, and Fabian Garcia, on a paid trip to Israel.
They meet with U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee and Israeli officials, subsequently flooding their social media with pro-Israel content.
The Catalyst and the Corporate Veil9/10/2025: The assassination of Charlie Kirk, a prominent pro-Israel Christian youth leader, acts as a violent catalyst. It exposes the deep fissures over Israel within the American right and triggers a wave of suspicion and blame.
9/26/2025 - 9/28/2025: In the wake of the crisis,
the influence apparatus moves to formalize and obscure its operations. Two entities finally register under FARA, but in a way that hides the source of their funds and allows them to operate under the umbrella of Pam Bondi's February 5th directive which limits DOJ prosecutors from criminally charging those involved in
public-relations work and policy advocacy on behalf of foreign businesses and nonprofits.
- Bridges Partners, LLC, owned by Israelis Yair Levi & Uri Steinberg (a former Israeli Ministry of Tourism official), registered as an agent for Israel's "Esther Project" influencer campaign. For services from July 2025 through December 2025, it received $900,000 from Havas Media, a German affiliate acting as a financial cut-out for the Israeli Foreign Ministry to pay online influencers to post about Israel. Posts are generated and provided to influencers by Israel social media teams.
- Show Faith by Works, LLC, the entity linked to Chad Schnitger and Ralph Reed (Faith & Freedom Coalition & CCPI), also registered. Its task is to use geo-fencing and data harvesting to target 4 States and millions of church goers and Christian university students with pro-Israel propaganda. It received $3,258,961, also funneled through Havas Media. FARA documents show many Christian church leaders stand to profit from this campaign.
9/28/2025: While the corporate fronts are established, Luke Moon of CCPI, Gen Zion and the Philos Project (funded by Zionist billionaire, Paul Singer) organizes a
meeting between Benjamin Netanyahu and a new batch of U.S. influencers, including Miriam Malnik-Ezagui, Emily Austin, Ben Soffer, Cam Higby, and many others, to discuss how they can fight Israel's "8th Front War on Information in America."
Simultaneously, on 9/28, the Israeli lobby funded propaganda outlet, Jewish Network Syndicate (JNS) hosted a conference in New York titled "
Confronting Terror and Defending Israel: JNS Visionary Leadership Assembly". Meeting attendees included members of CCPI and the topic of discussion was supporting and implementing Israel's 8th Front War on Information in America as a private and government partnership. Speakers included:
- Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel Prime Minister
- Mark Levin - Fox News Commentator
- Leo Terrell - DOJ, Antisemitism Task Force
- Martin Marx - Special Assistant to President Trump & White House Director of Jewish Engagement
- Ofir Akunis - Consul General of Israel in New York
- Danny Danon - Israel UN Ambassador
- Shaun Maguire - American venture capitalist and political activist
Conclusion: The Investment in Perception10/1/2025: The Israeli
Knesset approves an additional $40 million for the Foreign Ministry's hasbara budget,
$24 million for global influence campaigns and $16 million to finance more international delegations. This timeline reveals not a series of coincidences, but a
coherent, multi-pronged strategy. It is
a campaign that leverages faith, fear, and finance to manipulate American public opinion and policy, operating through a network of political operatives, influencers, and shell companies, all designed to serve the interests of a foreign nation at the expense of open, democratic discourse in the United States.
Way to go!
