American business leaders and billionaires set up a Whatsapp group to shape public opinion on Israel's war in Gaza and urged New York City's mayor to use police to disperse a pro-Palestinian protest at Columbia University.

The contents of the Whatsapp group were reported by the Washington Post on Thursday. The group was set up on 12 October, days after Hamas's surprise attack on southern Israel, to "change the narrative" on Israel, including by conveying "the atrocities committed by Hamas... to all Americans".

Among the business leaders in the group were the CEO of Starbucks, Howard Schultz, Dell CEO and founder Michael Dell, and Joshua Kushner, a financier and brother to Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.

The contents of the chat were supplied to the Washington Post by unnamed people with direct access to it. Last month, members of the chat, including billionaire Len Blavatnik, held a Zoom call with New York City Mayor Eric Adams, at a time when a pro-Palestinian encampment was taking place at Columbia University in the city.

Some members of the chat offered to pay for private investigators to help police during the protests.

According to the Washington Post, a member of the group wrote on the chat that such an offer had been accepted by Adams. New York's police denied using private investigators to manage the protests.

The Whatsapp group had over 100 members, and was titled "Israel Current Events". It was set up by real estate tycoon Barry Sternlicht, who was not directly a member of the chat but participated through a staffer.

The staffer said in October that the group's mission was to help "win the war" of public opinion in the US, while Israel worked to "win the physical war".

Finished filing my taxes and posted 'I wanna stab a billionaire and run away to become a nineteenth century pirate' on facebook and they warned me that my post might violate their policy. Oh... I also mentioned that Israel was committing a US funded genocide. Damn, it was probably that and not the stabby pirate part.

The Tech Bro Fascist Playbook

Buy the police, grey shirts, grey shirt parades, apartheid, “tech Zionism”

I respect the wishes of Palestinian activists and hope it’s not them doing this rather but loud non-Palestinians with good intentions, to them I have just one ask: stop asking for elon musk’s attention on Gaza or Palestine in general.

He is a racist. A white supremacist. An antisemite that allows neo nazis to roam on the social media platform he’s running into the ground. He actively tries to silence Palestinian voices while amplifying racist, Islamophobic, genocidal rhetoric. He does not care about the lives of Palestinians or any oppressed people under occupation because their oppression is what makes him and his friends wealthy. He’s not the kind of person we want on our team

I kinda see why people are demanding he visit Gaza to see the destruction first hand but I have a sneaking suspicion that a man who grew up in apartheid South Africa in a family that owned a blood emerald mine won’t see suffering Palestinians as people but instead see their demolished houses as a real estate opportunity.

The ultra rich don’t fix problems, they create them, philanthropy is a scam. Gaza does not need dickheads like elon musk using their power and influence to encourage others to make exploitative decisions that ultimately lead to more ethnic cleansing.

STOP ASKING HIM FOR SHIT
