Israel Built Gaza Sites For AI. Then We Found Them

Right, so Israel's propaganda operation told everyone to check their facts about Gaza, and, unsurprisingly, checking those facts leads you right back to Israel's own state-funded propaganda. It’s like handing the burglar the keys to the evidence room, then acting surprised when the trail ends at his own front door. Bibi the Burglar apparently.Because when investigators actually did what Bibi suggested, check those receipts, demand truth, they found themselves in a digital network of websites made not for people, but for search engines, web crawlers, and AI bots. Fill them with search-optimised nonsense, get them indexed, and when someone asks a chatbot about Gaza, one of those pages might show up as a 'source.' No secret back door into ChatGPT is needed. Just stock the shelves and hope the robot librarian picks your book of propaganda first. The trail led through Brad Parscale’s Clock Tower X, the US political-media outfit hired to do the work, then through Havas Media Germany, the intermediary named in the foreign-agent filing, and back to the State of Israel on whose behalf the campaign was being run. That matters because these were not random websites with a suspiciously familiar line. They were part of a documented state-backed operation.They said to follow the source. So people did.Bad advice, Bibi.
