In 2026, Israel’s government budgeted $730 million to keep itself the victim in the American mind. A year earlier the budget was $150 million. Israel’s own budget book calls the money “campaigns to change global public opinion.”Anyone paid by a foreign government to influence Americans must register with the US Justice Department. Within one month in 2025, four American companies registered as working for Israel. Every one of them was paid from one advertising office in Frankfurt, Germany, hired by the Israeli government.In California, a political consultant was paid to put ads in front of churchgoers. In Washington, D.C., a two-man firm was paid to hire influencers. In Virginia, a firm was paid to run ads on X. In Ohio, the man who ran Donald Trump’s first re-election campaign was paid to make videos aimed at young Americans.By the end of March 2026 the four had received more than $27 million of Israel’s money. About one dollar in ten went to the church plan in California. More than half went to the videos in Ohio. Frankfurt has since ordered $4.5 million a month more from Ohio, April through October 2026.Four companies. One office in Frankfurt. One buyer: the government of Israel.One of the plan’s stated objectives, in its own words: “Combat low American Evangelical Christian approval of the Nation of Israel.” Young Americans are turning away from Israel, and the plan was built to follow them into the pew with one message: the people being bombed are the danger, and the people bombing them are under attack. Once that holds, the weapons keep shipping, the veto keeps falling, and the cover never lifts. That is what the money is for.Sources: FARA registrations 7553, 7649, 7652, 7653 and 2026 supplementals (US DOJ); Israel Foreign Ministry budget proposals 2025 and 2026; UN veto dataset; OCHA; Costs of War; Pew.
