Inside Hindu nationalist's social media hate campaign

Well worth a read - a feature on how Modi and the BJP are weaponizing social media to stir up ethno-nationalist conflict etc. Also, really fucking terrifying. The BJP has 150,000 people just devoted to WhatsApp and sending out viral content that is often misleading. It is a truly impressive (but also terrifying) propaganda operation with many facets and players.
 
Meanwhile, I think Israel doesn’t mind this sort of stuff because it lets their troops stay battle tested.

Maybe…but there are civilian hostages that have been taken into Gaza, this they do mind I would think. Anyway, seems to be an intelligence failure on the Israeli side?
