      Did you mean to link two stories that detail how Israel debunks fabricated anti-Israel propaganda?

      Because you just linked two stories that detail how Israel debunks fabricated anti-Israel propaganda.

      [Israel] won’t leave negative stories out there online without a response, and we will spread positive messages. …We are putting public diplomacy in the hands of the public. (Linked from your first source)

      Around 180 students [are] looking out for false anti-Israel coverage and explaining facts (from the Second Source that you linked)

      I guess take my upvote for your support of honest reporting on anti-Israel propaganda.

      • Are you really that naive?

        The propaganda entities are of course saying that they are just “debunking” and reactes to “false coverage”. Their job is to spread propaganda, not to do fact checking.

        If you struggle seeing this just reread and replace Israel with China:

        China won’t leave negative stories out there online without a response, and we will spread positive messages. …We are putting public diplomacy in the hands of the public.

        Around 180 students [are] looking out for false anti-China coverage and explaining facts

        Would you really believe this to be the real objective and not to just spread propaganda and drown out criticism? If it was just for facts they wouldn’t need that, as there is enough of neutral or slightly positive towards Israel media outlets all around the world that provide reasonable coverage of Israel. But when you bomb hospitals and schools there is only so much factual positive coverage possible.
