Students offered grants if they tweet pro-Israeli propaganda - Middle East - World - The Independent
CONFIRMED by Branden Roy. Israel pays people to spin government sound
bites on social media. Palestine may too, we just have not seen
evidence. I think this is bad for Israel's credibility in the discussion
of course because you can never tell authentic opinion from paid
commentary given his confirmed program. Given that this grant program
extends to seven Israeli universities I also think it is a shocking
political/propaganda intervention into academic freedom and the academic
purity of the college experience.
Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the scheme aimed to ‘strengthen Israeli public diplomacy’
