Hasbara is a form of propaganda aimed at an international audience, primarily, but not exclusively, in western countries. It is meant to influence the conversation in a way that positively portrays Israeli political moves and policies, including actions undertaken by Israel in the past. Often, Hasbara efforts includes a negative portrayal of the Arabs and especially of Palestinians. X
Also from the same article:
Please tell me more about how discourse around sexuality/the precious “LGBTQ community” isn’t used as a tool to pinkwash Israeli war crimes and massacre of the Palestinian people. The propaganda machine is exclusively looking for people from the “gay community” and “minorities” to spread Zionist propaganda , as their identities can be instrumentalized. Also since “minorities” and the “gay community” appeals to a larger global liberalist world, this is a perfect tactic to deter attention away from Israeli’s war crimes. Absolutely disgusting.
