This should be looked at in light of the problems Israel faces. Israel is in serious danger of losing US support.[1][2] Outside of the US, there is very little support for what Israel is doing.[3] In the US, support is bought and paid for with political contributions. “If there was no lobby pushing Congress in a particular direction in a really forceful way, the position of the US Congress on the war in Gaza would be fundamentally different.”[4] The social media effort is only a small part of this.

I don't see it happening. Israel has some kind of connection to the US that overrides pretty much anything that Israel does. If you look at any presidential address, Israel's flag is there. I don't think that is just because Israel is our partner. Israel must have something pretty important that we depend on.
