Former Israeli intelligence officer Ella Kenan was seen at a recent pro-Israel conference saying she runs an online influence operation that works with "communities of over sixty thousand people around the world that make our content viral" to manipulate public discourse and "serve the narrative" of Israel.

I've been assured that this never happens and that it's antisemitic to say it does, but okay sure. Let's move on.
