    I've been seeing a lot of Saudi bots filling up my timeline lately to deflect blame for their Yemen slaughter onto their Shia victims— using identical copy-paste bot-factory strategy as this.

    Israel’s propaganda app is targeting at least 20 news sources across multiple continents to defend the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza that killed a pregnant mother and a toddler. Includes talking points for users to copy-and-paste into critical coverage.

    The very fact that residents of Sderot can consider evacuation, whereas Gazans have nowhere to go or hide, reveals the profound asymmetry in Israeli-Gaza “conflict.”

    If you are reading about today on Facebook, there is a good chance that the “top comments” have been approved and promoted by the Israeli government’s official app. Just an FYI.

    Israel’s propaganda app targets a article about crossing the Qalandiya checkpoint. The app promotes angry comments objecting to the use of the term “wall,” calls the article “lazy reporting,” & incorrectly suggesting that Hamas runs the West Bank

    Israel’s app has many daily missions that boost social media posts about Israeli culture, food, business, technology. This is about building positive perceptions of the country, in order to deflect criticism of the occupation, etc.

    Israeli government-linked propaganda app is working to drum up support for Israel's Eurovision winner. Israel uses culture to deflect criticism from its violations of Palestinian human rights.

    Israel’s anti-BDS app provides “suggested comments” in support of an upcoming football game between Northern Ireland and Israel; this includes targetting the Facebook event page, and leaving positive reviews for the Ireland Football Association.

    It also lies about the content of the video, which shows no such thing.

    Israel’s official propaganda app is promoting comments against on . Strangely, these comments claim there is NOT a history of anti-semitism in the Labour Party... blaming antisemitism solely on Corbyn’s “anti-Israel” statements?

    It only took two hours for to release a statement in favour of Israel’s indefensible separation wall (which the International Court of Justice has ruled to be illegal).

    It’s entirely possible that these videos etc violate the community guidelines of those websites, but there is something very uncomfortable about non-Arabic speakers getting Palestinian posts taken down based on translations by whoever is managing Israel’s anti-BDS app.
