Robert Lansing Institute: Russia Targets the “Jewish Lobby” and Communities with Anti-Ukraine Disinformation

Robert Lansing Institute: Russia Targets the “Jewish Lobby” and Communities with Anti-Ukraine Disinformation. “A recent story about the alleged looting and attacks on Jewish community members in Zhytomyr in the wake of their attempts to leave the country for Israel was quickly debunked by the local Chabad chapter, but not before making the rounds on social media and in Jewish activist circles…. Fact checking by Chabad afterwards revealed that there were no multiple victims of alleged looting, attacks, and harassment. The entire scenario was a fabrication. But this is not the first time Russian propaganda machinery has targeted the Jewish community with fictitious accounts of Ukrainian street brutality or the government’s alleged failure to protect them.”
