I just noticed that there are quite a few users on Reddit from r/WorldNews who are defending Israel unequivocally and when I checked some of the users they seemed to be engaging on topics only about Israel/Palestine and they seem to be extremely active, so I have checked the Internet and there are even some older BBC article and Reddit posts discussing exactly this issue: https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-23695896

There are. In the first week of the attacks, the Israel Times had a blog post about Act 2 of the war. Here's the blog post: https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/our-role-in-act-2-of-the-war/

My country's news outlet even has a section that informs us about the disinformation campaigns going on on both sides and addressing/correcting what's probably the truth.

Edit: they're on Lemmy too.

The link says nothing about bots.

You are making this sound more mysterious than it is.

The benign terminology in this blog article is: “act 2” is the ground offensive, the “act 1” was Hamas’ attacks on Oct 7. There’s also no mention of “act 3”.

Did you read the article? It's suggesting Israeli citizens step into conversations and defend Israel. No need for bots, there are people to do it.

I did, and it says things, but not the things that the original commenter said, nor implied. But apparently calling out misinformation is not welcome here.

They didn't say anything about bots? Not sure what you're trying to call out.
