The Israeli government, its affiliates, AIPAC, JACPAC, and an army of 40,000 online trolls craft a multi-layered strategy to dehumanize Palestinians and discredit American progressives. Alongside its destruction and ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank, Israel wages a relentless digital war aimed at silencing the Palestinian narrative and progressive voices in the US. Israel deploys disinformation campaigns to discredit Palestinians, erode empathy for them, delegitimize their claims, and justify its genocidal attacks. Online, Israeli trolls convicingly write and act like Americans, but their interests and values are Israeli first, not American.

President Donald Trump's lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over his leaked tax returns was filed for an "improper purpose," a judge said Monday in a scathing decision that recommended attorney sanctions and disciplinary action.
