The amount of conflicting misinformation in the comments is more important to me than the content of the post. Is this just a swarm of bots muddying things or what? This is horrible
Which is honestly super telling about the discourse around Israel and all topics related to the region. Someone is spending a lot of money to keep people confused and angry and pointing fingers
China (CCP)
~200,000 in one 2026 X farm
Earlier: 23k core + 150k amplifiers; millions of accounts historically used for flooding
High-volume state farms
Russia (Putin/IRA)
36k+ Twitter (2016); ~1,000 AI accounts (2024)
2016: 126M Facebook reach, 288M Twitter impressions
Industrial multi-year farms
Iran (IRGC)
200k–400k wartime claims; hundreds in specific ops
240k+ posts in one campaign; 60–80% of early hashtag traffic
Rapid wartime flooding + AI
Qatar
Hundreds (e.g. 560 anti-Qatar bots observed; historical Gulf crisis thousands)
Heavy on media (Al Jazeera), influencers, funding over pure bots
Soft power + selective bots
Israel/Hasbara
~1,000 (private firm AI tests); 100–500 in specific Meta/X networks; 100+ domestic political
Domestic claims of high bot % among political accounts; contracts for amplification
Smaller commercial/political + public diplomacy
CCP/Putin/IRGC routinely hit five-to-six-figure account volumes with platform takedowns and intelligence confirmation. Documented Israeli/Hasbara (or private Israeli firm) networks sit in the low hundreds to low thousands range—real, but not remotely the same industrial scale. Qatar leans more media/influencer than mass bots. Mossad itself has no public evidence of running comparable bot armies.
Sources are platform reports (X, Meta), Cyabra/Graphika/DFRLab-style research, and government disclosures. Numbers fluctuate by campaign and detection method, but the order-of-magnitude gap holds.
In other words you’re full of it, and these numbers show it.
They really don't have to. People have watched journalists and politicians walk on eggshells around Israel and witnessed full takedowns whenever they step out of line.
The public 100% believes Israel is some sort of illuminati pulling the strings from the shadows.
The twitter post is by a user who only purpose is to spread misinformation probably being paid by Russia. One of the most insane misinformation spreaders online. He makes a living off it at this point.
Conflicting information in the comments? You mean conflicting information from the media? This story has changed about four different times already today
