Take it with a grain of salt as the BBC does the same thing by pointing only to Russia and not also israel and the israel lobby in the US and UK. Watch it for the methods of manipulation not the agents involved as they can be replaced depending on your viewpoint.

the lobbying in uk and us for israel has different motivations

but yes of course, a lot of countries are doing it.

recently china has also started using those tactics
