I just noticed that there are quite a few users on Reddit from r/WorldNews who are defending Israel unequivocally and when I checked some of the users they seemed to be engaging on topics only about Israel/Palestine and they seem to be extremely active, so I have checked the Internet and there are even some older BBC article and Reddit posts discussing exactly this issue: https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-23695896

    I remember back when r/conspiracy blamed everything to the left of the John Birch Society on Mossad, because they liked exchanging “Jewish” with “Israeli” to look less like raging anti-semites.

    But in reality… Mossad does exist. Duh. Foreign intelligence and propaganda campaigns are universal.

      Yeah the thing about Mossad is that they’re on par with the CIA in ambition and skill and unfortunately they also happen to be Jewish. One side is going to look at them because CIA-like, the other is going to look at them because Jewish.

      Frankly I think they’re probably trying to influence things some, but from what I hear they’re more of the assassin type. I think a lot of people have a lot of interest in the United States heavily funding Israel and ignoring Ukraine. And the people who benefit from us not throwing massive amounts of weapons at Israel tend to suck at influencing us in these ways
