Israel has launched a multi-million-dollar campaign to influence how artificial intelligence systems respond about Gaza, reportedly using hundreds of articles and websites designed to promote Israeli narratives.<\/p>\n

The campaign includes content portraying Palestinian journalists as linked to armed groups and questioning the killing of five-year-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab.<\/p>\n

With nearly fifty million dollars invested, the operation aims to shape AI-generated answers and influence the information millions of users receive about Israel\u2019s genocidal war on Gaza.<\/p>\n

According to a report by Drop Site News<\/a>, \u201cSince October, former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale has been quietly overseeing an operation posting hundreds of blog posts on behalf of Israel. One\u00a0article<\/a>, titled \u201cThe Reality Behind Gaza\u2019s \u2018Journalists\u2019: Terror Ties, Propaganda, and the Laws of War,\u201d asserts that a majority of journalists in Gaza were linked to terrorist organizations. Another\u00a0casts<\/a>\u00a0doubt on the killing of Hind Rajab, a five-year-old Palestinian girl killed by the Israeli military in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe key intended audience of these sites is not concerned Americans, it\u2019s not even humans\u2014most of the sites average a few hundred unique visitors each month. Instead, Parscale and his firm, Clock Tower X, created them as part of a $46.5 million contract with the Israeli government to try and influence artificial intelligence-powered chatbots, tools like Claude or ChatGPT.<\/p>\n

\u201cParscale has made his goal of influencing artificial intelligence\u2014often referred to as \u2018LLM poisoning\u2019\u2014explicit. In his initial\u00a0agreement<\/a>\u00a0with Israel, Parscale said that he would deploy \u201cwebsites and content to deliver GPT framing results on GPT conversations\u201d as part of the contract. More recently, his team even\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0Axios they are \u201cseeing success\u201d at getting popular AI systems to incorporate information from their sites, though they declined to provide data.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it is working, according to disinformation experts who reviewed a Drop Site analysis of chatbot queries and training data, meaning\u00a0tens of millions<\/a>\u00a0of Americans who use chatbots are increasingly likely to receive answers manipulated by Parscale on behalf of the Israeli government.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Drop Site asked Perplexity \u2018Is it beneficial for the US to enhance military cooperation with Israel?\u2019 the chatbot responded with a one-word answer: \u201cYes.\u201d The top source listed was\u00a0Allyvia.org, a Parscale-created website\u00a0<\/a>dedicated to promoting the U.S.-Israel military relationship. Microsoft Copilot similarly cited Parscale\u2019s websites.<\/p>\n

\u201cAllyvia is one of 10 different websites created by Clock Tower X, a boutique digital influence company owned by Parscale. Each website is dedicated to promoting a different Israeli narrative.\u00a0FactSignal.org<\/a>, for instance, fashions itself as fact-checking website tackling anti-Israel information, containing articles\u00a0discrediting<\/a>\u00a0slain journalists as Hamas terrorists and\u00a0rejecting<\/a>\u00a0the notion that Israel\u2019s military actions in Gaza constitute a genocide.\u00a0Paxpoint.org<\/a>, meanwhile, promotes the narrative that Israel is a nation of peace.\u201d<\/p>\n
