Description

Dr Andreas Krieg , a senior lecturer at the School of Security Studies at King’s College London, said visits such as Murray’s were an unorthodox form of propaganda.

“This has become a strange phenomenon of ‘sightseeing’ of pro-Israel pundits whereby Israel regulates access strategically to the battlefield to distort coverage on the war in hashtag#Gaza and hashtag#Lebanon,” he said. “It shows how insecure Israel feels in terms of where its public diplomacy and strategic communication is going that it has to invite uncritical cheerleaders to amplify Israeli talking points.”
