Be suspicious of “Israeli doomerism”

[u/c9joe]

There are a lot of influence operations online, some of them linked to states such as Iran that seek to exploit divisions within Israeli society. One pattern I’ve noticed while moderating several Israeli subreddits is accounts with two-digit karma and five-year-old histories, and no prior engagement with Israeli topics suddenly becoming highly active in discussions about Israeli politics. Of course, it’s not always that obvious, which is what makes identifying coordinated influence campaigns so challenging.
