Since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs has unleashed a slew of bot users on social media websites to spread Israeli propaganda, often targeting Black U.S. lawmakers’ posts, The New York Times reported Wednesday, citing documents and Israeli officials. The ministry paid $2 million to Stoic, a political advocacy firm, to launch the campaign, the Times reported. Stoic created fake news sites such as ‘UnFold Magazine’ and ‘Non-Agenda’ which were populated with rewritten articles from other publications that affirmed the Israeli narrative on the war in Gaza.
FakeReporter, a site that reports bot accounts spreading propaganda, originally identified the influx of accounts spreading stories from these sites, among other fake sites promoting racist and fictitious stories, across X, Instagram and Facebook in April.
The campaign also targeted primarily Black and Democratic lawmakers with spam posts from fake accounts promoting Israeli propaganda, according to the Times. The accounts also used ChatGPT to write posts with identical phrases popping up on many of the accounts. Both ChatGPT and Meta confirmed the Times’ and FakeReporter’s investigation.

PURE LIBEL
yes, these are bots that capture REAL stories as written in other publications and place them next to feeds of anti-israel propaganda so that people can see the other perspective.
“often targeting black congresspeople” is a twist on the truth, it targets ANYONE who is spreading anti-israel messaging, to correct the record.
The real question is, how come it is so often Black officials who are spreading these anti-Israel messages?!
EXCUSE WHATS WRONG
May the NY Times building collapse with all of its employees inside.
Spare the janitors.
We_Jews are opposing the Democratic Party because they support literal blood libels! We have every reason to be vicious towards you on Social Media.
