I think it's a saturation campaign. It looks like anti-Israeli disinformation went out instantly across all the left-leaning social media networks and gaming social networks. I'm sure there are more I don't know about.
Those are the same networks that pushed anti-Hillary Clinton disinformation and pro-Brexit disinformation.
This time, there's an effort to convince Black and Indigenous Americans to sympathize with Palestinians and view Israelis as aggressive colonists.
I saw an OP on DU with a video equating the Irish Troubles with Palestinians.
These are all misrepresentations of a complicated situation. It's a global attempt to create an evil "bad guy" (using age-old antisemitic tropes) and oppressed, innocent "good guys." The situation is far more complicated than that - but there's a coordinated PR effort misrepresenting it.
I think the goal is to create chaos and wound democracy worldwide, including influencing the 2024 U.S. election.
