It is no secret that Hollywood has always been pro-Israeli. From casting Israeli actors to blacklisting pro-Palestine ones. But propaganda runs deeper. Some of our favorite shows have a pattern of subtly mentioning “Israel” in a positive, noble light.
The goal is to legitimize the Israeli occupation as an offeror of peace, adventure, and fun, rather than exposing the reality of its systematic crimes.
This is not a coincidence; this is how the United States and the Israeli regime colonize and abuse the cultural realm.
From NCIS to lighthearted sitcoms, “Israel” keeps showing up in ways that have nothing to do with the plot. Mossad agents are framed as heroes, and Kibbutz life is sold as adventurous, while Palestinian characters are written only as villains.
This is not random; it’s cultural propaganda, designed to normalize occupation, erase Palestine, and market apartheid as something glamorous.
This is about how “Israel” launders its image through the very shows and media we consume every day.
