Yes. It is known and documented (on video) that soldiers are employed to do exactly this. You can find this with a web search.

It's wild to me that more people don't know about Unit 8200. Israel is up there with Russia, USA and China when it comes to state-sanctioned cyber attack capabilities.

There was a time when technology was considered communal progress, exciting and uplifting, in my days people (home computing enthousiast) getting together at a community center, for example C64 and Amiga gatherings in the Hague in the Netherlands, talking about what games, software you had packed or unpacked on the limited disk space you had, hardware modifications, LAN parties, shareware, mod trackers, group demo's et cetera.

It was really good as long as it lasted and better than anything social media. Excuse my rant I am old and getting depressed from 'techmology' news.

What I remember from those times though, is Isreal outright lying about the atrocities they were commiting in Gaza and the West Bank. They were so heavy handed with their message even back then. And those social media accounts that are trying to garner support for them now have the exact same flavor. Spotted the lies immediately after this conflict started.

Earlier also Lebanon. I met some wonderful people from Lebanon who came here as refugees to the Netherlands. At least they had means to escape. My father in law is Jewish and he doesn't like what has been going on since forever in Israel or the family he has there.

It honestly amazes me how they have managed to silence the people who dissent. It's that loud over the top rhetoric, it's an old practice and very annoying.

It is all a charade and they are all on it.

Only people who don't seem to understand this are the poorly educated plebs larping it as gospel.

System working as designed
