Once in a while, we see something of such gross temerity that it must be flagged and brought to your attention. Such is the case with Act.il. Kudos to investigative reporter Josh Nathan-Kazis at the Jewish news publication The Forward for writing “Shadowy Israeli App Turns American Jews Into Foot Soldiers In Online War,” a story that brings to light an insidious Israeli-intelligence operation launched in the United States in June 2018. We highly recommended reading the article in full.

Act.il (Act-il.com in the U.S.) is a mobile app that serves as a platform for uniting, organizing, training and deploying international Hasbara.. The app users’ missions are covert, vary widely in scope and include both online and offline tactics.

There is a way the Internet community can help thwart this covert operation: Sign up to be a Act.il volunteer, get access to its “mission” list and then alert the public that a source is under attack by covert #hasbara and israeli intel operatives. – Article
