Israel to spend $4.1M to influence Christians in US

[Bootless]

That's the shortened title for Israel to spend up to $4.1M to bolster support among Christians in western US, filings show

... Israel is bankrolling what organizers say will be the largest campaign of its kind to bolster support among evangelical churches, until recently seen as an unshakable base of support for the Jewish state.
 
Israel’s Foreign Ministry has hired an American firm to run the campaign, with plans to spend as much as $4.1 million on marketing aimed at Christians across the Western part of the country, according to newly filed federal disclosures.
 
The documents, filed last week under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, reveal that Show Faith by Works, LLC will execute what it bills as the “largest Christian Church Geofencing Campaign in U.S. history.” 
 
A newly formed company with a San Diego address, Show Faith by Works is run by Chad Schnitger, a prominent Christian conservative activist in California. 
...
 
The campaign adds a new prong to Israel’s U.S. communications blitz, complementing a $1.5 million-per-month contract for AI-driven social media activity with former Trump campaign strategist Brad Parscale and a contract with a firm called Bridge Partners to create an influencer network called the Esther Project. 
 
The PR blitz was anticipated after Israel’s Foreign Ministry was allocated $150 million in this year’s budget for public relations efforts.

I think this may tie into the newfangled notion of a Judeo-Christian religion. Total support for the foreign country known as Israel of course.

Here's an Armenian woman's take on it. Remember that Armenia was the first Christian nation. And Armenia was holocaust victim before European Jews were. Before there was a word genocide.

Judeo-Christian is actually a very interesting topic, if only it could be extracted from politics and family issues

Where does inspiration come from? What does it mean to breathe?

In Latin, spiritus is defined as “the intake of breath by a god,” literally an inspiration. In Hebrew, God’s holiest name, a name that shall not be uttered it is so holy, is a four-letter Tetragrammaton.....a habit we’d dubbed “Ask the Rabbi,” a more deferential version of Stump the Rabbi.....Here’s what dear Sam wrote in reply: “Yes, the breath of God breathed into Adam (from adamah—earth) is what animates us and is, thus, the Divine in us.

Whoa that had me surprised for a second, because the "Esther Project" is an initiative by America's own Heritage Foundation, not the state of Israel! Fortunately, there's a sister article to the one you linked that clears it up:

Newly filed records with the Department of Justice show that Israel’s government has quietly launched a two-track influence operation in the United States, blending big-budget political advertising with grassroots-style influencer campaigns.

The filings reveal that a firm called Bridges Partners LLC has been hired to manage an influencer network under a project code-named the “Esther Project.” It is unclear if there is any link to Project Esther, a plan to combat antisemitism published by the Heritage Foundation, an American right-wing think tank.

In its disclosure, required under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, Bridges said its work was intended to “assist with promoting cultural interchange between the United States and Israel” and specified that the engagement runs through a German division of the global PR firm Havas.

Attached documents show that the firm, owned by Israeli consultants Uri Steinberg and Yair Levi, was formed in June 2025 in Delaware and soon after received nearly $200,000 to recruit and coordinate U.S.-based social media influencers.

So there we are. It's "unclear".

Hey, you forgot this one, the funding by Israel of Bridges Partners, LLC:

What's that?

Israel Contracts New Firm To Train ChatGPT To Push Pro-Israel Narratives Toward Gen Z Audiences

Israel’s government has signed a $6 million contract with the American firm Clock Tower X LLC to generate media content designed to sway artificial intelligence GPT models like ChatGPT toward promoting pro-Israel narratives.

Under the contract, at least 80% of the firm’s output will target young audiences across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, podcasts, and other digital and broadcast platforms, assist in manipulating algorithms, and also manage “Artificial Intelligence frameworks” to make them more favorable toward the Israeli cause, with a target of at least 50 million impressions monthly, according to a Responsible Statecraft report revealed Monday.

The report further stated that Clock Tower X LLC will use the AI platform MarketBrew AI — a tool specializing in search engine optimization — to boost the ranking and visibility of pro-Israel narratives in search results on platforms such as Google and Bing.

The contract is part of an Israeli effort to control social media narratives in the U.S. and other countries.

Clock Tower plans to embed its pro-Israel messaging within Salem Media Network outlets — a conservative Christian media company with ties to Lara Trump and Donald Trump Jr.

Former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale, is a key figure in Israel’s latest deal. He heads Clock Tower while also serving as chief strategy officer at Salem Media Group.

Clock Tower’s contract provides little detail about the specific messaging it will advance for Israel. However, its filing under the Foreign Agents Registration Act states that the firm was engaged to “execute a nationwide campaign in the United States to combat anti-Semitism.” Its effort will focus on a segment of the American public that has significantly drifted away from supporting Israel.

Clock Tower is carrying out its work under Havas Media Network, a global media company contracted by Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the Israeli Government Advertising Agency.

Havas has brought on multiple U.S. firms for the project. Earlier this month, Sludge revealed that Havas hired the Democratic-linked PR firm SKDKnickerbocker on a $600,000 contract to operate a bot farm promoting pro-Israel narratives on social media.

Moreover, by June 2025, more than 1,400 veterans of Israeli intelligence are working roles within U.S. tech companies — with 900 alumni from Unit 8200 alone, drop site news revealed last August.

I wonder if once they've set up the structure of these operations, they can then fund them with all-American contribution sources like AIPAC does, to avoid having to detail the payouts in FARA disclosures. Someone should ask a financial lawyer, dark-money fuckery is a sophisticated practice. Note how things go first to a German PR firm, then a domestic LLC, then to actual contractors?

Business bits will be done as business does. I rate movements like this just has to be started and then the public does the rest, just look at the UFO debacle.

That is very true. The vast majority of Zionists in the US are not on Israel's payroll. They have their own "independent ideological reasons" for their support.

That is a very good catch! There are also many non-profit "objective" think-tank and investigative organizations that receive direct funding from Israel, such as ISGAP whom you cite, who received $1.3 million¹. Are they required to file FARA disclosures for that?
