People in other parts of the thread say it's Israel. (Which certainly is "aligned with US interests abroad", as the powerful see it anyway). I think it is ridiculous conspiracism, right now anything anyone doesn't like they think Israel is behind it.
The crazy rise of conspiracism in our society in general, combined with Israel really is doing some nasty stuff (but not controlling everything you don't like), combined with the latent antisemitism in most conspiracism.
And I say this as a strong supporter of and activist on Palestinian rights and liberation. Free Palestine. (But there is no reasonable reason to think Israel is behind an IA hack. Or the fact that your mail came late, or anything else except what they're actually doing which is bad enough. Call your senators and tell them to vote for Bernie's JRD resolutions).
- tdeck 2y agoThere are so many well documented awful things IL has done that most people don't know about (many still haven't even heard of the Sde Teiman video) that folks could be spreading the word about instead. It's a shame to see this kind of conspiracy mindset from at least some people who probably mean well. There is no harm in waiting a little bit for facts to emerge.
