Take @RawanBDS, that pretends to be a Palestinian woman, but her profile pic is of model taken from stock footage. “Rawan” also never eat or sleep, since she’s RTing non-stop anti-Israel propaganda, day and night.

Another one. @jjQ8xaTr30SpzCk has already been restricted by Twitter for “unusual activity”. Why? They’re constantly tweeting same tweets and hashtags for alleged “war crimes”, day and night.

Now look at @SaraPal15 @PalYara @Ayesha_Halaby @Sara_BDS4 @miraPalestine1 and the DOZENS of other accounts like them. All look the same? Well, they’re also miraculously tweeting the same stuff. Over and over. At the same time.

How do we know? Well, when a Twitter account never takes a break from tweeting, doesn’t have normal sleeping hours etc, he is suspicious of inauthentic behavior. Like @Allahkibandi5, who tweeted 55K in 5 months, 370 tweets (and more) every day.

The goal is clear: spreading disinformation and manipulate you, the common Twitter users who make this platform so great. With 30 tweets per hour. Like @arafiah250597, that was already suspended this morning.

2-month examination found at least 21% of ICC &/or sovereignty posts from inauthentic accounts, had 180 greater engagement rates than real users.This is why Minister @FarkashOrit sent a letter to Twitter this morning, urging the platform to take action.
