The Israeli government has enlisted an American media firm in a six-figure campaign aimed at influencing U.S. public opinion. Starboard LLC, a conservative media and marketing firm that advertises access to data on more than 25 million “verified conservatives,” signed a 120-day agreement with LDRS Group, an influencer marketing firm acting on behalf of the Israeli government, according to FARA filings. The $500,000 agreement, signed Oct. 13 and filed with the Justice Department on Oct. 28, outlines a campaign involving targeted messaging, public opinion polling and analysis designed to measure the effectiveness and variables of changing right-leaning Americans’ views on Israel.
