hasbarist

Individual(s) paid/incentivized to push propaganda as part of a broad effort to minimize "Israeli" crimes by focusing on strategic distractions using carefully crafted language/talking points aimed at influencing international perception in favor of "Israel", even if making "Israel" the lesser of two evils. Talking points can include (but are not limited to) attempts to focus on migrants, Islam, Indians, African-Americans, etc, to make Israel seem like less of an issue.

Hasbarists can be anyone from world leaders and politicians, celebrities, youtubers, musicians, actors, and even ordinary civilians. Within the last few years, Israel has outsourced their hasbara to indians to help on places like Twitter/X, youtube, reddit, discord, news websites comments, or anywhere that free speech exists to "control the narrative".

Look at all these hasbarists working tirelessly to convince people that the zionist state isnt ethnically cleansing.

hasbarat 

A member of the Israeli internet propaganda unit HASBARA. A hasbarat is typically mistaken for a run-of-the-mill "troll" due to their constant efforts at derailing any productive discussion and their penchant for starting flame wars.

But, they differ from regular trolls in that they have an actual objective and it's to redirect discussion away from any criticism of Israel and any topics that may result in negative attention for Israel. Their tactics are crude and know no bounds. But, they are professionals, as difficult as that is to believe, they are on the clock and being paid by the hour for their trolling. Most are "college students" and IDF reservists working out of their boiler rooms in Israel. They operate according to a manual called "The Hasbara Handbook" which can be found online. Watch as they frantically attempt to change the subject once you out them as hasbarats, at that point they know the gig is up....and they'll probably come back at you with a different screen name.

You're no troll, you're a hasbarat! How much do you make an hour trying to control public discussion online, Hasbarat?
