Israel spends millions on propaganda efforts in the US (like you I was first surprised when I first read that). I assumed that Israel does not need to spend a penny here given the roles of US Congress and media. Here is an example from the New York Times on how US media need to be paid by the Israeli government for their free propaganda services to Zionist colonization. This is the headline: "In Most Cases, Israel Thwarts Suicide Attacks Without a Shot." I kid you not. Imagine. This, on the other hand, is a list of Palestinians assassinated by Israeli occupation troops (and look at the method of assassination) without trial or due process.
