Ein Dienstagslächeln / … A Tuesday smile – Stella, oh, Stella

Viele kennen es, die Enkelkinder haben oft keine Lust, die Grosseltern zu sehen und sind generell mehr an ihrem Handy interessiert als an zwischenmenschlicher Kommunikation.

… Many know this: grandchildren often don’t feel like meeting the grandparents and are generally more interested in their mobile phones than in interpersonal communication.

Träumt der junge Mann oder nicht? 😉 Ich mag den extra Verwirrungsmoment am Ende.

… Is the young man dreaming or not? 😉 I like the extra confusing moment at the end.

Exclusive: Israeli documents show expansive government effort to shape US discourse around Gaza war | Israel | The Guardian

Haaretz and the New York Times recently revealed that Chikli’s ministry had tapped a public relations firm to secretly pressure American lawmakers. The firm used hundreds of fake accounts posting pro-Israel or anti-Muslim content on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook and Instagram. (The diaspora affairs ministry denied involvement in the campaign, which reportedly provided about $2m to an Israeli firm for the social media posts.)

But that effort is only one of many such campaigns coordinated by the ministry, which has received limited news coverage. The ministry of diaspora affairs and its partners compile weekly reports based on tips from pro-Israel US student groupssome of which receive funding from Israeli government sources.

For example, Hillel International, a co-founder of the Israel on Campus Coalition network and one of the largest Jewish campus groups in the world, has reported financial and strategic support from Mosaic United, a public benefit corporation backed by Chikli’s ministry. The longstanding partnership is now being utilized to shape the political debate over Israel’s war. In February, Hillel’s chief executive, Adam Lehman, appeared before the Knesset to discuss the strategic partnership with Mosaic and the ministry of diaspora affairs, which he said had already produced results.
