Exclusive: Google Helped Israel Spread War Propaganda to 45 Million Europeans
(www.mintpressnews.com)
Helped? As in, they're not doing it anymore? Color me skeptical. But I'm going to read the article now.
edit: Ok it's about the specific latest waves of videos justifying the attack on Iran. As if Israel hasn't been engaging in Russian-style disinformation for decades. With the help of big G and others.
In clear breach of Google’s policies, these ads justify and lionize the attack as a necessary defense of Western civilization, and claim that Israel is carrying out “one of the largest humanitarian missions in the world” in Gaza.
That's so diametrically opposed to the truth, it's cynical. I hope Google gets what it deserves for allowing that. Not to speak of Israel.
“Iran’s ballistic missile program isn’t just a threat to Israel, it is a threat to Europe and the Western world,” another, seen by 1.5 million viewers in just three weeks, claims. “Iran is developing missiles with ranges of approximately 4000 km. That places Europe within the regime’s striking distance,” it adds, as graphics show virtually the entire continent turning blood red, signifying a nuclear attack. “This isn’t tomorrow’s threat. It is today’s reality. The threat posed by the Iranian regime must be stopped. Israel does what must be done.”
And this is so vastly exaggerated, it's fearmongering. It's "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction" all over again. And even if, why would they want to attack Europe? It makes no sense. We're not the enemy.
