Israel Is Buying Google Ads to Discredit the UN's Top Gaza Aid Agency

It would be of interest to hear some thoughts from those currently involved in the ad-tech industry about the larger elephant in the room that sometimes is referred to as ‘using ad-tech to influence and alter human behavior and public sentiment’. .

* The above comment is not meant in any way shape or form to diminish, dismiss, distract or detract from the humanitarian outrages and human rights violations that have and are occurring in Gaza however in a (probably futile) wish to prevent a downward slide of "my side is right, your side is wrong" visceral response/tone of comments - perhaps it's time to reflect on the larger discussion around government/political 'nudge units' and the ways that both the public at large and your own opinions might be being steered in ways that border on the almost subliminal level.

Wasted money, the UNRWA is quite capable to do that themselves.

I think "ads" like this are more damaging then helping. True or not, it always seems to be propaganda.
