He argues that platforms like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) allow highly visual, emotionally charged anti-Israel narratives to spread faster than official government messaging.The Propaganda War: He openly admitted that ["we’ve not done well on the propaganda war"](1.1.6, 1.3.7). This realization has sparked a major shift in how Israel approaches public relations, with Netanyahu calling social media [the "most important weapon" to secure Israel's base in the U.S.](1.3.3, 1.3.8)Targeting Platforms & Influencers: Because he views these platforms as battlefields, Netanyahu has taken direct action to counteract the shift. He held [high-profile briefings with conservative American influencers](1.3.3, 1.3.6) to rally online support, heavily favored [the U.S. acquisition or changing of hands of TikTok](1.3.3, 1.3.6), and has publicly emphasized the need to work closely with [Elon Musk on X to ensure a favorable narrative environment](1.3.3, 1.3.6).Generational and Bipartisan Shifts: Netanyahu's concerns are validated by public polling data. Recent data from the Pew Research Center indicates that about 60% of U.S. adults hold an unfavorable view of Israel, with that number skyrocketing to roughly 70% among younger Americans aged 18 to 49.By launching programs like the NIS 200 million Diaspora education plan, Netanyahu is actively trying to bypass traditional media and social algorithms, attempting to instill foundational pro-Israel literacy in young Americans before they are exposed to hostile language online.
