Associating an independent politically motivated group with an ethnic state as a whole is a common means of disseminating racist views. Israel is no more involved in act.il than the U.S. is involved with Alex Jones, and it's worth pointing that out because otherwise people might think that this operation has some kind of official endorsement by the Israeli government.

"people might think that this operation has some kind of official endorsement by the Israeli government."

Because it does. https://archive.is/ERHPN#selection-2055.97-2055.288 https://www.mintpressnews.com/israels-teen-troll-army-hasbar...

You are right about anti-semitic tropes, and it's a serious accusation, but if it's happening it's a problem. Not that official endorsement should be the standard to follow. Crowdsourcing a troll army for positive coverage is deceptive, regardless of whether support is official or shadier.

Your first source says that Shin Bet and the army DON'T request help from act.il.

Your second source has nothing to do with act.il

Read it again. The CEO said they do and then walked it back. I specifically said that because the walkback was not credible. But if that's your only reply, I'll take it you concede there is government endorsement from the Strategic Affairs Ministry whose campaign this is addressing and in the form of expertise from the intelligence officers working on it.

The second link is also about a crowdsourced online influence program affiliated with the Israeli government. I never restricted my concern to just one program. Care to claim Hasbara is not affiliated either?

Given that your misleading post has been flagged and removed, I'll consider this matter satisfactorily resolved.

Have a nice day.

And yet you couldn't defend your claim. "No affiliation to Israeli Government" -> "You're wrong" List involved ministries -> "Wrong about what?" -> "Wrong about no government affiliation" -> (Crickets).

Maybe flagging reasonable comments is what winning looks like to you. Given your defence of an organization crowdsourcing coverage manipulation that's not so surprising. But it is how you know you're on the wrong side. I'm embarrassed for you.

My claims are backed up and available for anyone to interpret for themselves. Your unsuccessful attempt to suppress them is also revealing.
