Video raising awareness for the release of the hostages at the Super Bowl game/the Ministry of Diaspora and the national information system
The national outreach set up ads to raise awareness for the release of the hostages on the biggest stage of all last night (Sunday) - the big Super Bowl, in which the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco Forty Niners.
All the smart TV customers of Paramount, the streaming company that broadcasts the Super Bowl, watched a video by the Ministry of Diaspora and the National Information Service, calling for the release of the hostages held by Hamas.
In addition, similar messages were placed on current affairs and content websites, alongside billboards in Washington and New York, to reach tens of millions of exposures in the United States.
This worthy campaign did not go smoothly online.
At the same time as the world's largest sporting event, the IDF completed a daring operation in Rafah, at the end of which the kidnapped Fernando Simon Merman and Louis Har were rescued from the hands of Hamas. Alongside this operation, the Israeli army carried out a series of attacks that resulted in at least 100 deaths, according to Hamas.
"They are bombing Rafah And at the same time they are doing propaganda in Super Bowl ads," tweeted Imran Siddiqui (49,000 followers on Twitter). The anti-Zionist body Jewish Voice for Peace added to it, with a series of tweets that read, among other things: "The timing of these atrocities is calculated.
While 100 million people watch the Super Bowl, the Israeli army drops a bomb a minute on the residents of Gaza.
The American public watches the Super Bowl, and the propaganda of millions of dollars funded by the Israeli government.
At the same time, the same government is bombing 1.3 million people in Rafah."
The American documentarian Rebecca Pierce (31 thousand followers on Twitter) added: "While we are watching the Super Bowl, bombs are falling."
The Palestinian-American poet Rami Kenazi (85 thousand followers on Twitter) added: "Israel's most brutal attacks in Gaza occur at Christmas time, the Super Bowl or any other moment when the fewest American eyes are open. Israel can only commit genocide with the support of the United States. It What Israel is doing with the weapons and the American tax money while the Super Bowl is entering the halftime show."
And that's not all.
On the website The Nation, which has been taking an anti-Israel line for a long time and called, among other things, to suspend Israel from the upcoming Olympics, journalist Dave Zairin published an extensive column in which he claimed, among other things: "The Super Bowl was a weapon of mass destruction. If there is justice, future generations will remember the game not because Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce or Taylor Swift, but the attacks against Palestinian civilians, funded by the United States, while more than 100 million Americans are captivated by the screen."
"While football players were fighting in Las Vegas, Israel caused death from the sky," Zairin added.
"CBS allowed the Israeli government to finance an advertisement, about which 10,000 people complained, because nowhere was it made clear that the Israeli government paid for it. This advertisement, along with the attack in Farih, look more like a military combination than a coincidence."
"The Super Bowl has already been used as an engine of war in the past," Zairin wrote, "You can't forget when Whitney Houston sang the national anthem in 1991, while fighter jets flew over her on their way to Operation Desert Storm. Now we have the 'Super Bowl Massacre', designed so we don't notice to the war crimes that the American taxpayers are funding. The attack on Rafah should be a bigger part of football history than the Taylor Swift pictures, Asher's performance, even Patrick Mahomes' ability at the end. Whether you are a football fan or not, this must not be forgotten."
