Emerging story

Israel’s Strategic Affairs Ministry released in October 2020, its periodic report on the manipulation of social-media networks to delegitimize Israel.

The report, named “Manipulating Social Media,” claimed there are 250 suspicious Twitter accounts—170 of which were found to have carried out “inauthentic activities” with the aim of stirring anti-Israel sentiment online and manipulating the discourse against Israel.





 4IL tweeted the handles of dozens of accounts it claimed were “anti-Israel bots and trolls who try to steer public opinion.”



On the other hand, Palestinian accounts claimed their Twitter accounts were suddenly suspended.
