Fascinating insights on Israel’s influence operations in the US, costing millions. Particularly striking is how the contracts openly talk about the usage of bots to “flood the zone”

I want to hear where Van Jones gets his 'evidence' that Iran and Qatar are running a "disinformation campaign" about dead Gaza babies? If you're gonna make such big claims as a journalist you'd better bring receipts.

Senator Chris Van Hollen @vanhollen.senate.gov · 5d

I’m glad Van Jones apologized for his sick joking about dead kids in Gaza.

But the problem goes deeper: he spread Netanyahu propaganda that the mass killings of civilians in Gaza—including 20K+ kids—is Iranian fake news.

It’s not the students and young people who are fooled. It’s Van Jones.

I know it's not the point but it doesn't even look like the Admiralty Arch or Marble Arch for that matter. The fact there's wasn't even a March in that semi fictional area is the icing on the cake

Look what's in close proximity to Israel's illegal attack on Doha, at least 2 nurseries, 3 schools, 6 embassies, a petrol station, a public park. This all happened in the middle of the afternoon, when schools are ending and children engaging in extra curricular activities

1/3 Google and X are accepting thousands of dollars to run Youtube ads by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs that are whitewashing famine in Gaza. Between May and July alone they spent >$138 k targeting Germany alone. #GazaGenocide
