Anyone who follows the space closely has known about this for at least the last year. It was quite common for these accounts to make slip-ups that revealed their country of origin and to subsequently be doxxed by ideological enemies or rival influencers (they all want to be the leader and they all absolutely hate each other).

Almost all of these accounts are operating out of India or Israel. The Indians are usually in it for the money (though there’s probably some Israeli outsourcing going on there, too), whereas the Israelis were riding off 2010s Islamophobia to prime American Evangelicals for their activities in Gaza.



Indians pretend to be Israelis because they don't like Muslims who they see as similar to Pakistanis.


Where are all these Israeli accounts? That just seems to be your weird personal bias. Weird, because you can just confirm it for yourself now!


> Weird, because you can just confirm it for yourself now!

That is exactly what is happening and what is being reported on. The thing you attribute to "weird personal bias" is being widely exposed.

We should probably examine your weird personal bias. Weird, because you could just read the article!


> Where are all these Israeli accounts?

The Department of Homeland Security, for one.

Edit: Link removed as I was disinformed by a /pol/ PsyOp.


That is a doctored image according to both DHS and X's head of product. What kind of information bubble are you in?
