No one is doing it as much as Israel does, Russia's influence campaigns are well documented, often weak, lack the "forcefulness" you see when it comes to Israel.

The thing is that messaging from Russia, China, Arab countries ... have to be very subtle else it's visible and immediately gets called out.

Israel on the other hand sees itself as part of the collective west and think they have the right to be as laud as they want and everyone has to listen.

it's fundamentally about who's talking and who's the audience.

for example Israel does run lots of influence campaigns in Arabic as well, but they're also more quite and more understanding that it's not their main audience.

Frankly speaking? It is because the people making people's influence operations the topic of conversation (at the national level) tend to be propagandists themselves. They aren't all that interested in a philosophical discourse trying to get people to make decisions in their own best interest or uncover the truth. They have a narrative and a job to do pushing it and they're perfectly happy to let temporary allies talk without interruption.

There's an interesting debate about whether that is helpful or not; the experience of democracy tends to be that your more at risk of getting high on your own supply when it comes to propaganda more than that an opponent is a risk.

You are implying conspiracy. It doesn’t track.

Israelis, and their supporters, love to boast of Israel’s technical prowess and world leading capability in many areas.

Most people do this and Israelis are no different. However in Israel’s case there is evidence of its ability to build, hack and exploit technology at a very high level. The attacks on centrifuges and pagers being prime examples.

Yet when reports of these capabilities being used for influence appear suddenly Israel is being unfairly picked on? It doesn’t make sense.

Israel is very open about its use of propaganda. From AIPAC to “hasbra” to funding film and tv projects pushing particular viewpoints.

Russia and China do not have anything like the power to work like this Israel does. There is no Russian or Chinese AIPAC equivalent.
