Possible one of the most successful projects in American history, the Hasbara Project has influenced millions of Americans to support Israel through downplaying Israeli war crimes and demonizing the Palestinians. Starting in the 1980’s, the Hasbara Project’s mission statement was to “train foreign-service officers in communications by placing them with American companies”. In translation: Implementing Israel-sympathetic journalists into the heart of American media. (STORY)
in 1983 Israel created the Hasbara Project. Its purpose is to control the American media to ensure all stories reported are favorable to Israel to maintain American support.
