Anonymous Social Media Accounts Attacking Right-Wing Figures Linked to Moshe Redman

By ישי פרידמןUpdated 40 minutes ago
Translated & summarized from Now 14 by baba
The story · English

Anonymous social media accounts that launched campaigns against the Israeli right-wing, including politicians, rabbis, and journalists, began operating as early as October 8, 2023, the day after the Hamas attack. According to an investigation, these pages promoted thousands of political posts and content throughout the war, attacking the government, West Bank settlements, right-wing journalists, and companies that advertised on Channel 14.

The investigation links these anonymous pages to a company owned by Moshe Redman, a prominent figure in the "Kaplan movement" protests and a current Knesset candidate for the "Democrats" party. While the registered operator of the pages is Lilach Beit On, who holds a senior position in the "Brothers and Sisters in Arms" organization, the email address associated with the pages leads to MR D. Labs, a company founded and owned by Redman in 2023. Redman and other company associates reportedly recruited social media personnel for these online activities.

Among the messages promoted were claims that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, and Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei desired Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's continued rule. The content also suggested that the IDF's failure on October 7 was due to the West Bank settlement enterprise and sought to legitimize draft refusal by linking reservist officers who warned about the judicial reform to those who warned about the IDF's deteriorating condition. The pages later advocated for early elections and targeted right-wing figures during local authority elections, arguing that only new elections could end societal division.

Beyond political messaging, the accounts also targeted right-wing journalists, including Amit Segal, and campaigned against companies advertising on Channel 14, such as the CEO of Pelephone. The investigation claims these anonymous pages also amplified Redman's public activities, encouraging followers to listen to his speeches and views. The activity of these pages reportedly ceased in 2025 after the elimination of terror leaders and the failure of the early election campaign.

Lilach Beit On declined to comment, and a response from Moshe Redman had not been received at the time of reporting.
