If you have spent any time on X (fka Twitter), you know that it is a cesspool of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, frequently neo-Nazi accounts that purport to be “America First” and “MAGA” and posting from the United States, frequently red states.
The X algorithms for the “For You” feed were unbearable.
But I and many others suspected that many, if not most, of these accounts, particularly the ones that purported to be “MAGA” were fakes.
It was part of the worldwide information war against Israel, the only successful war the people who now identify as Palestinians have ever fought. From false claims of Genocide and Famine to inflated casualty numbers, to concealing that Hamas fought from under, within, and around hospitals and schools, the goal was to turn people in the West — and particularly among younger conservatives — against Israel. The Tucker Carlsons of the podcast and influencer world fed off and amplified these social media narratives.
Now we know that it was all a massive foreign influence operation of fake MAGA accounts meant not to promote Trump, but to turn Americans against Jews and Israel and to sow chaos and division among actual Trump supporters.
If it’s happening on X, it’s happening elsewhere on social media.

There are too many examples to list, but here are some X posts that aggregate the fakers or reveal particularly egregious examples.
Here’s the warning X gives of use of a VPN.
Not surprisingly, there were lots of fake accounts reporting on supposed atrocities in Gaza.
And a lot of pro-Fuentes foreign Groyper accounts:
Accounts are being taken down or reconfigured once exposed:
