La filiale allemande du groupe Havas (contrôlé par Bolloré) a reçu près d'un million de dollars d'une firme israélienne proche du régime Netanyahu pour diffuser de la propagande en soutien au génocide.
"Bridge Partners, a firm working for the Israeli Foreign Ministry, sent a series of invoices for its “Influencer Campaign” to Havas Media Group Germany. The invoices detailed a sum of $900,000, starting in June and slated to end in November, for a cohort of 14-18 influencers to create content."
Israel is paying influencers $7,000 per post
Netanyahu referred this week to a 'community' pushing out preferred messaging in US media — and boy are they making a princely sum

Israel’s allies will try to focus the debate on EU subsidies -worth only €32 M
Why?
Because EU impact lies in suspending its trade chapter on preferential market access: it would mean taxes + quotas on 30% of isr exports

What is happening in Gaza has shaken the conscience of the world.
Man-made famine can never be a weapon of war. This must stop.
EU aid to Gaza far outweighs that of any other partner.
But of course, Europe needs to do more.

Israel’s top allies are slowly but surely turning their backs, urging sanctions, suspending trade deals, freezing bilateral cooperation.
It only took a genocide, 230 journalists and 18 000 kids killed in Gaza to apply EU treaties.
Now up to Germany to support or to continue blocking the #EUCouncil
