Israel is ramping up its military actions against Lebanon, forcing thousands to flee their homes and resulting in over 600 deaths. Along with airstrikes and land invasion preparations, Israel is using psychological tactics to manufacture consent for all-out war. This includes terrifying plans for ethnic cleansing in North Gaza, supported across the Israeli political spectrum. Online Zionist influencers play a key role in promoting Israel’s narrative, with government spokespeople delivering soundbites on TV and extensive messaging on social media. The genocide in Gaza has made their job more challenging. Israeli author and influencer Hen Mazzig, professor Saree Makdisi, associate editor Tamara Nassar, and host Matt Lieb discuss the impact of online hasbarists in shaping public opinion. This troubling escalation in the Israel-Lebanon conflict must be closely monitored as the region braces for potential further violence.
