        i thought the popular consensus was the opposite – russian/chinese bots pushing unpopular narratives.

          I don’t think disliking Israel is exactly an ‘unpopular narrative’ (I dislike this turn of newspaperman newspeak) especially in places outside of international-community-1international-community-2 where the consequences of US-sponsored meddling are the everyday reality. And if you don’t think Israel has a cyber warfare capability noted for making many tech startup founders like those of Waze and Wix, or that the American Internet, the baseline for all of this, was a Cold War military-intelligence project, I don’t know what to tell you. This sort of revolving door special relationship is much scarier than the RuZZian/Chinese/Iranian hackers boogeyman that western media pulls out every time they do half as much as we do. Think the Kash Patel photos incident.
