Israel Secretly Targets U.S. Lawmakers With Influence Campaign on Gaza War
Israel Secretly Targets U.S. Lawmakers With Influence Campaign on Gaza War - Lemmy.World
The operation focused on more than a dozen members of Congress, many of whom are Black and Democrats, according to an analysis by FakeReporter. Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., who is outspoken about his pro-Israel views, was targeted in addition to Jeffries and Warnock. Some of the fake accounts responded to posts by Torres on X by commenting on antisemitism on college campuses and in major U.S. cities. In response to a Dec. 8 post on X by Torres about fire safety, one fake account replied, “Hamas is perpetrating the conflict,” referring to the Islamic militant group. The post included a hashtag that said Jews were being persecuted. The campaign also created three fake news sites with names like Non-Agenda and UnFold Magazine, which stole and rewrote material from outlets including CNN and The Wall Street Journal to promote Israel’s stance during the war, according to FakeReporter’s analysis. Fake accounts on Reddit then linked to the articles on the so-called news sites to help promote them. The effort was sloppy. Profile pictures used in some accounts sometimes didn’t match the fictional personas they cultivated, and the language used in posts was stilted.

Russia’s Rosatom Fuels Putin’s War Machine - Lemmy.World
Moscow clearly believes that Rosatom will continue to get a free pass and is now using the company as a Trojan horse to circumvent Western sanctions. According to Rosatom Director-General Alexey Likhachev, the company’s military contracting has grown significantly. In January 2023, the Washington Post published information obtained by Ukrainian intelligence detailing Rosatom’s involvement in supplying the military industry with components, equipment, and raw materials, including aluminum oxide for rocket fuel, chemical compounds for aviation and rocketry, lithium-ion batteries for tanks and air defense systems, and 3D-printing technologies. Evidence strongly suggests that Rosatom is a full-fledged and growing partner of the Russian military machine.
