NYREADERS.COM - A political campaign advertisement from the Israel Government was aired during Super Bowl LVIII on Feb 11. The ads have become controversial due to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
The campaign titled “Bring All Dad Back Home” with ad copy “To all dads held in captivity by Hamas for over 120 days: we vow to bring you home.” The ad ends with the hashtag “bringalldadbackhome.”
"The ad that ran in the Super Bowl last night was incredibly disturbing," told CBS News Miami Nikki Morse, a member of the organization Jewish Voice for Peace South Florida.
"The ad is very disturbing because it celebrates fatherhood, as Palestinian fathers are being dehumanized, while they're losing their children, while they're rescuing people from under the rubbles," said Morse.
The world only knew that the U.S. has become the closest ally for Israel and funded military activities amid Israel war with Hamas. Referring to data from usafacts.org since WWII, the US has provided more foreign aid to Israel than to any other country. Total US assistance to Israel from 1946 to 2022 has achieved $317.9B.
What the world does not know is that American citizens have their own voice.
“This is actually disgusting. You’ll notice on the ad if you look at the bottom, it says, sponsored by the State of Israel. Excuse me, what? So, you have an ad that’s gonna be running on American television during one of the biggest events all year sponsored by a foreign government? The Ad is nothing but propaganda. Of course there won’t be ads run on behalf of the Palestinians, the ones that are starving to death”, said @iamblakeley on Tik Tok and Instagram. The video has been liked and shared by hundreds of thousands people on social media.
“Israel spent $7 million on a Super Bowl at halftime to just let that sink for a second, spreading their propaganda. And then you have Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift, that just sums up the dystopian world that we live in. ..... I just don’t see how the likes of Hollywood and the media can really whip up a frenzy and a circus that are gonna take our eyes and attention and our heart’s away from what’s really happening in Palestine, “said @andrew_dxb1 on his post on Tik Tok.
