By Forward Staff June 24, 2024

The Forward did not publish articles on international reaction to Israel at a French defense conference or about U.S. Democrats and leftist Israelis trying to divide Americans and Israel.  The posts, which have circulated on social media via bot accounts, are fakes that appear to be part of a broader disinformation campaign linked to Russia.

The Forward did not produce these articles. The original article regarding the French defense conference was removed but may still be circulating on social media. The second article, dated June 25, may still be live.

If you have any information about these articles or other fakes, please alert [email protected].
