Netanyahu's government has been spending millions of dollars on propaganda to influence America's religious hard right. Public support for Israel is sharply declining and antisemitism is on the rise. Understanding political power, media narratives, and religious extremism is now more important than ever.

In this special livestream, cult expert Dr. Steven Hassan, author of the Cult of Trump is joined by award-winning journalist and Columbia University professor Anne Nelson to discuss her recent Washington Spectator investigation into the Israeli government's outreach to US Evangelical and Christian nationalist movements. Nelson's reporting examines how propaganda like influences campaigns, messaging strategies, and emotionally charged tactics have been used to secure loyalty to Netanyahu from segments of the American Christian right, especially among those aligned with Donald Trump. Dr. Hassan has previously analyzed Netanyahu's authoritarian tactics in The Cult of Trump, but Nelson's new report provides critical insider that demands wider public recognition and conversation.

Anne Nelson is a former Director of the Committee to Protect Journalists, a Livingston Award-winning reporter, and the author of multiple books which examine long-term power networks, propaganda, and resistance movements. She currently teaches at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA). Together, Hassan and Nelson will explore how Christian dominionism, the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), and spiritually manipulative tactics are shaping political alliances between foreign governments and U.S. religious movements and why these influence strategies matter for democracy worldwide.

During this important discussion, we’ll break down:

Influence and propaganda targeting U.S. evangelicals
The role of Christian dominionism and the NAR in shaping public perceptions
How political power, religion, and media intersect
Why these alliances have global consequences

1. It's all interfaith kumbaya until the Rapture.

3. I'm sure Netanyahu's government is well aware that Rapture theology is 100% BS,

thereby enabling them to manipulate the fundies for their own ends, while allowing the fundies to believe they’re the ones doing the manipulating.

2. Just goes to show that these people don't tie intelligence and common sense to their support of these

warped institutions. A wake-up call needs to be sent from our democratic leaders, who also should be putting together various factions in vastly overwhelming any republicans running for govt over the next couple of decades, especially when you consider the damages that they have cost our Country imposing their warped beliefs.
