What it isA map of the apparatus, by someone else
Section 03 of the essay names the mechanism in words: a count inflated by a contested definition, a story told in the grammar of a conspiracy, walk-backs, and tools that drift from gunmen to protest. This chart draws the mechanism as an organisation. At the centre is a ministry and its advertising agency. Around it are the firms that invoice it, the directory of tools it hands to supporters, the groups that directory lists, and the platforms where the posts end up.
It is not our drawing. The chart’s own legend separates what is filed from what is only listed or name-matched, and that discipline made it checkable. So it was checked. Every edge below was traced to a document that was actually opened on 17 October 2026: a Foreign Agents Registration Act filing, an Israeli procurement notice, an IRS return, the Ministry’s directory page, or the party’s own site. Where only a press report exists, the row says so. Where nothing was found, the row says that.
The network, provenSeventy-one edges, and one the chart never drew
The edge the chart does not draw is the one that closes the loop. The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs runs a public directory called Iron Web. Its Facts and Research section lists Allyvia, PaxPoint, FactSignal, Justorium, Innovascope, Econora, Cognitura, Culturavia and CompassionPulse. Each of those sites carries, in its own footer, the sentence “This material is distributed by Clock Tower X LLC on behalf of the State of Israel.” Clock Tower X’s FARA statement lists the same nine as websites it operates for its principal, and books $15,000,000 received from Havas Media Germany for the work. The same directory lists Hanover Institute and IsraelFact, which carry Piro’s footer naming Havas and LaPam.
So the state’s directory recommends, as research, websites the state’s contractor is paid to write. The chart draws the sites on the left and the directory on the right and never joins them. The Ministry’s own page does.
The money is exact. Every dollar figure on the orange and purple boxes matches a FARA document to the cent: the $15,000,000 Clock Tower X received in six payments from Havas Media Germany, the eight supplier totals that account for $13,061,802.50 of it, SKDK’s $150,000, Davis Media’s $8,000 order, Piro’s two work orders summing to $1,000,000. The filings also show what the chart stops short of: Havas work orders for Clock Tower X of $4,500,000 a month from April through December 2026.
Where the chart overreaches. The €50m option is real but it is LaPam’s 2023 media-buying option for the Ministry of Tourism, expired March 2024; the Foreign Ministry’s own agreement with Havas is named in a filing and valued nowhere. The chatbot test that found the campaign sites being cited covered Perplexity, Copilot and Gemini; Grok, on the chart, was never tested. Israel Tech Guard is not on the directory. Reddit, VK and Gab have no documented placement. The $65,000 under CyberWell is not a state grant; it is the sum of UJA-Federation of New York’s last two years of grants to CyberWell on its IRS returns, and Israel’s open budget shows no ministry money to CyberWell at all. The author byline the chart puts on eight sites is on nine.
Why it lives on this file. The essay’s opening section quotes CyberWell as a monitor of the moment “antisemitism” and “false flag” fused into one word. The Ministry’s directory lists CyberWell under Technological Tools, four entries from Words of Iron. The instrument that counts the alarm and the apparatus that spreads the word share a page, and the page is the government’s.
The ledgerEvery edge, and what the record says
Tap a state to filter. Filed is a government filing or procurement record. Listed is the Ministry directory page. Stated is the party’s own statement. Reported is press only. Differs means the source was found and the chart misreads it. Not located means it was looked for and not found.

The key, transcribedWhat the colours mean
- GovernmentIsrael’s ad agency LaPam, which buys the campaign, the Foreign Ministry, and the Diaspora Ministry, which runs the Iron Web directory.
- The contractorsThe ad and PR firms paid to run the campaign abroad: Havas, named in LaPam’s procurement, and the US firms whose FARA filings show the work.
- Campaign websitesSites built for the campaign: those in Clock Tower X’s FARA filing or run by it; Hanover and IsraelFact, which name Piro; and one author name on eight of them.
- Clock Tower X’s suppliersThe vendors Clock Tower X reports paying in its FARA statement for work on the campaign.
- The Ministry’s directoryThe Diaspora Ministry’s Iron Web directory, a list of pro-Israel tools and groups for supporters to use, and the listed ones examined most closely here.
- Words of Iron and its toolsThe Words of Iron app, which gives supporters ready-made posts to spread; the groups and companies that claim it, Akooda’s buyer, and the extensions and apps built around it.
- Directory listingsGroups, tools and official state sites the directory lists for supporters to use. A listing is not a contract.
