Israel has spent $2 million in a psyop campaign to drum up support for its war in Gaza, according to the New York Times. The campaign uses ChatGPT to targeted dozens of U.S. politicians and citizens in order to “foster support for its actions in the war with Gaza.”
The campaign is run by Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and managed by Stoic, a political marketing firm in Tel Aviv, according to NYT.
“At its peak, it used hundreds of fake accounts that posed as real Americans on X, Facebook and Instagram to post pro-Israel comments. The accounts focused on U.S. lawmakers, particularly ones who are Black and Democrats, such as Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the House minority leader from New York, and Senator Raphael Warnock of Georgia, with posts urging them to continue funding Israel’s military.”
This is foreign interference folks. It is not supposed to happen. We freak out when we think Russia may have done it but does anyone care to stop it if is done by Israel? Probably not because the U.S. does the exact same thing in Afghanistan, Syria, Iran and other places.
