How Israel uses pop culture to normalise occupation

Follow us on our Malay and English WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Tiktok and Youtube channels.

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 normalise 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.
