* Assuming the comments came from Israelis/Jews. All the left and right-wing channels are infiltrated with Iranian agents(plenty of news on that topic in Haaretz/Walla). They are causing rift and radicalization in society.

That's a solvable tech problem to shut it down. Unfortunately, it's not a priority on a state level because everyone is doing it.




The cure for that is worse than the disease. And I think foreign agents manipulating public opinion abroad are vastly overestimated.

Propaganda is still very prevalent and the target group is rarely someone other than the domestic population, even in democracies.


Really?

Closest I've seen would be campaigns like this, https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/security-aviation/2024-0... .

Then there's the stuff by IDF soldiers on TikTok, and the stuff settlers put out.

I have the impression that the iranians don't need to do stuff like that.
