The Department of Homeland Security's Facebook account recently posted a recruiting notice for ICE under the banner "WE'LL HAVE OUR HOME AGAIN"-the title of a white-nationalist anthem by the Pine Tree Riots ("By blood or sweat, we'll get there yet"). The Department of Labor recently posted a video montage referencing American battle scenes under the tagline "One Homeland. One People. One Heritage. Remember who you are, American"-a slogan close to the Nazi-era Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer.

Google entered a $45 million advertising contract with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office in late June to promote government messages about Gaza, according to government documents obtained by Drop Site News. The six-month campaign uses YouTube and Google's Display & Video 360 platform to distribute videos denying famine in Gaza, according to the report. One Foreign Ministry video declaring, "There is food in Gaza. Any other claim is a lie," garnered over 6 million views, largely through paid promotion. Government contracts describe the campaign as "hasbara," a Hebrew term for public relations or propaganda, according to Drop Site News.
