According to the New York Times, the campaign was undertaken by Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs with the intent to gain support from the U.S. public and lawmakers.

    Yes. It is known and documented (on video) that soldiers are employed to do exactly this. You can find this with a web search.

      It’s wild to me that more people don’t know about Unit 8200. Israel is up there with Russia, USA and China when it comes to state-sanctioned cyber attack capabilities.
