Israel is executing an online influence campaign using hundreds of fake social media accounts to advance “Israeli interests” among progressive western audiences, including US lawmakers, Haaretz reported on 19 March, citing an investigation by Israeli media watchdog group Fake Reporter.

    As The Cradle has reported previously, Israel provided no evidence for its claims, which were part of a campaign to compel western nations to cut funding to the agency [UNRWA].

    This is not true, the “evidence” was a couple of pictures on twitter with weapons covered by a tarp that said UNRWA. The source of the pictures was IDF, which are not only serial liars but stand to directly gain from the abolition of UNRWA. Imo falsifying evidence is worse than having no evidence because it pretty much disproves the claim.
