    I have also seen this image but the question is what did they try to accomplish? If anything cesspools like 4chan have radicalized guys to the far right and increase antisemitism.

      Whether people like or not, 4Chan has had a huge influence on internet culture, and thus culture as a whole. What you are really describing is just /POL or /B. 4Chan had a news, books, tech boards that nothing to do why what you are thinking.

      As content, terms and memes down current into the normie internet. From all types of content. For example, the term “Slop” which I see now used as way to describe soulless, current media content is now being used by many YT content creators /, which came from 4Chan, specifically the term goyslop which is noe years old. I mean there are dozens if not hundreds of other examples. The concept of Bronnies started as a joke on 4Chan that spun out of control.

      Israel’s psyops on 4chan could be to indirectly manipulate and to demoralise English speaking countries by poisoning the well. It is almost as if Israel literally does every single stereotype they claim they do not do, and will call everyone antisemitic over it. I am almost certain the push the BBC meme as to create racial tensions. It is just a devide and conquer geopolitical move. Other countries do it, too.

      There’s this weird phenomenon where Zionism and antisemitism have a ton of overlap on the far right. White Christian nationalism has end times beliefs that rely on Israel existing as a nation in full control of the entire original “Holy Land,” but such beliefs don’t necessarily require the Jewish people to be thriving or treated as equals.

      I guess it’s possible that Israeli intelligence and leadership behind such an operation, if there is any legitimacy to the idea this was a Mossad operation, could’ve decided that the odd hate crime carried out against Jews by mentally ill lone wolves stochastic terrorists would not only be a comparatively small price to pay in the furtherance of their goals, but even serve to galvanise the broader populace in support of Israel. And that outcome is actually what we’re seeing in reality - we see that a large number of moderates and even some progressives have hopped on board the “any criticism of Israel is antisemitism” train.

      I’m not saying I believe this theory, but it definitely seems plausible.
