Israel's Secret Anti-Iran Media Campaign | Tikun Olam |
The Times of London reported that amidst the national protests on the streets of Iran against the government, its officials were plotting an exit plan for Grand Ayatollah Khamenei. The anonymous intelligence sources for the piece claimed that, like Bashar al Assad, he would flee to Russia, or possibly China.
Similarly, an AI campaign disseminating fake news during Israel's June attack on Iran, boasted that the latter's officials were fleeing the country. It can be no coincidence that Sabti offered the same invented claims to the Times.

Corporate media outlets pump out Israeli messaging
Gabrielle Weiniger, author of this fanciful piece of journalism, does name one particular source, Beni Sabti. He is an Israeli-Iranian and ardent regime opponent. He's also a retired intelligence official who served in Unit 8200 and various national security posts.
The same day her story was published, 7th Eye, the Israeli media watchdog, published an expose about Sabti. An official contract revealed that he had been paid $30,000 for 50 hours of work per month and required:
Experience and in-depth familiarity with the Israeli narrative concerning the agenda, government messages and national propaganda [hasbara]. `This is a significant job...when...the announcer is the `face'...of the national information system and conveys the national messages in an accurate,
In order to protect itself from exposure of the scheme, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) [for decades source of Hasbara bots] used an unnamed group, which Sabti refused to name, as a conduit for payments to him. He also states that the payments did not come via government funding: thus shielding the entire operation from scrutiny, giving the PMO plausible deniability.
Among the most prominent of the Zionist stalking horses is the StopAntiSemitism Twitter account, which exploits a warped definition of anti-Semitism to tar these individuals as Jew haters. Canary Mission also researches and publishes damaging information regarding NGOs such as Jewish Voice for Peace, Students for Justice in Palestine, American Muslims for Palestine, and others. This includes feeding stories to sympathetic foreign journalists and identities of immigrant targets to ICE.
The DropSite News story offers numerous internal documents outlining the sophisticated and complex effort, directed mainly from Israel, and funded by both its government, foundations, and individual donors such as Adam Milstein. Among them, funds like the Impact Forum ($2-million in assets) support a network of 40 US Judeo-supremacist organizations. The Merona Leadership Foundation, also founded by Milstein, has $4-million in assets. Among the groups funded are:
Mother Jones catalogued a history of the pro-Israel blacklist and such intimidation campaigns.
The sophisticated organization of CM’s projects indicates a budget of millions or tens of millions, though it’s difficult to track, since much of this information is secret for obvious reasons. Its Israeli partner, Megamot Shalom, raised $1-million in its most recent reporting document. But CM raises funds via multiple vehicles, including the Central Fund of Israel, which itself has raised hundreds of millions for some of the most violent colonial settlements. Neither Israel nor CM wants the world to know the funding, donors or level of manipulation it employs in its propaganda efforts.
Trump’s invasion of Venezuela is a godsend for three global powers: Israel, Russia and China. Each of them now have a decisive precedent that will legitimize their own acts of piracy and aggression. Russia in Ukraine; China in Taiwan; and Israel throughout the Middle East.
Iran, in particular, must be brought to heel. After Venezuela, there will be no limit to Israeli attacks. Similar to the hundreds of air assaults on Iranian and Hezbollah assets in Syria under the Assad regime, Israel will now act at will. While these rapacious thugs will happily reap their rewards, the rest of the world will sink into chaos as the ties that bound us (international law and the rules-based order) collapse under the sheer weight of the corpses piled high.
