Russia and China are “manipulating” public opinion in Britain by promoting online pro-Palestinian influencers in an effort to stoke division, Whitehall sources believe.
Senior Government figures fear rogue states are promoting polarising online narratives about the Israel-Hamas conflict using an army of fake social media accounts.
Analysis of some of the leading pro-Palestinian social media influencers in the UK, who have ballooned in popularity in the wake of the Oct 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, has revealed that many of their followers are fake.
Experts said such a boost from fake profiles would disproportionately amplify pro-Palestinian voices – the more bots that engage with them and promote them, the more platform algorithms are likely to ensure that other social media users see them. Security services are also understood to be concerned about the threat of disinformation about the war in Gaza circulating online, as well as the possibility of hostile state involvement.
A Government source said: “It’s clear that foreign states are engaged in trying to manipulate public opinion by skewing the way we interact online. They hope to destabilise and undermine our institutions.
“It’s the role of the defending democracy taskforce to work across Government and the security services to understand and combat those threats.”

As if MI5/6 doesn’t do the same thing.
It’s no surprise that Russia is siding with the rapists and murderers of Jewish men, women, and children.
So what? Take any leashes off Israel and let the IDF finish the job once and for all. Then no more pro-Pali anything to be concerned about.
US manipulating Europeans by claiming Ukraine is a free market democracy and Russia blew up the Nordstream pipeline.
A world of Bravo Sierra the propaganda all aimed at inciting us against Russia and China.
Blah blah blah. UK has turned into one of the most stupid whiney countries in the world.
Maybe they better take away that free speech stuff and all will be well. /sarc
Lot of communist anti-US people post here.
You should watch this.
Good ol’ Code Pink is involved.

US tech mogul millionaire Neville “Roy” Singham has a lot of ties to the CCP. He’s also a major funder of the Pro Palestine protests popping up on US campuses. Coincidence?

Yep, it wasn't so bright an idea for the UK to allow all the Radical Muslim "Refugee" Migrants into the UK figuring they'd vote Liberal Socialist GloboHomo.
Turns out they intended to vote Terrorist and Caliphate, and can be "influenced" to do so.
The Joke's on you, UK and MI6.
People can make up their own minds
It’s probably more about fostering dissent and instability in the west than anything else.
Blah blah blah. UK has turned into one of the most stupid whiney countries in the world.

UK has mostly turned into an Islamist hell hole. It’s rich to listen to their story that Russia and China are pro-palestine. State sponsored misinformation is the name of the game today and if people just swallow the tripe, they will become dumber and dumber.
Russia and China are both very active in openly suppressing speech they disagree with and promoting the official line.
It is where Biden is hurriedly working to take us in the USA.
1984 is arriving a little late.
Castreau agrees.
We'll find out in November.
Apartheid had to go. It was a failed system. A few million Afrikaners were not going to rule 50 million Africans in the 21st Century. It was not sustainable.
Israel is a viable nation state with a Jewish majority. But their strategic outlook is not too promising. They need to take a page from North Korea's playbook and follow juche or self-reliance.
Israel needs to develop their own defense industry so they won't be dependent on U.S. for their military needs.
Seems to me that the Neocons, led by Biden, are doing more manipulating of public opinion on Gaza than Russia/China - after all, Russia and China are not THREATENING Israel, as the Neocons are doing.
