The 4chan Hack: American Cattle, Israeli Herders
Welcome back, today, we’re peeling back the layers of 4chan—the cesspool of anonymity that birthed Pepe, QAnon, and enough racism to make a klansman blush. But what if I told you the chaotic heart of /pol/ was never the organic rebellion it claimed to be? What if 4chan, the self-proclaimed bastion of free speech, was a meticulously orchestrated honeypot—a stage for Mossad’s hasbara agents to script global narratives, with American audiences lapping it up like obedient sheep, spoon-fed every thought even when it screws them over? Buckle up, anons, because the mask is coming off.
Let’s start with the bombshell. On April 15, 2025, a group called “Soyjak Party”—yes, really—claimed to have hacked 4chan, exposing a trove of data that sent /pol/ into a tailspin. Leaked moderator emails allegedly tied to .gov domains, and a staggering 22,674,560 posts—more than any other country—originating from Israel. That’s right, the Holy Land topped the charts, dwarfing the US at 14,352,747 posts. Canada, the UK, and Australia trailed behind, but the numbers don’t lie: Israel, a nation of 9 million, outposted the US, a nation of 330 million, by nearly 8 million. For context, that’s like if Liechtenstein out-tweeted the entire European Union. Statistically improbable doesn’t even begin to cover it. Posts on X lit up with reactions, some calling it a Hasbara infestation, while others scoffed, claiming it was just VPN trickery—classic /pol/ deflection.
Now, 4chan’s /pol/ has long been a breeding ground for extremist rhetoric—racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, you name it. Threads on /pol/ regularly peddle conspiracies about Jewish control of media, banking, and tech, often laced with slurs I won’t repeat here. But the irony runs thicker than a Tel Aviv summer. If Soyjak Party’s leak is legit—and I’m not saying it is, we’ll get to that—what does it mean that the epicenter of antisemitic memes was, allegedly, a Mossad operation? Let’s unpack this, and while we’re at it, let’s shine a light on the real victims: the American audiences so enthralled by these psyops they’ve forgotten how to think for themselves.
First, the Pepe memery. Pepe the Frog, born on 4chan’s /b/ board, started as an innocent comic character before /pol/ turned him into a hate symbol. By 2016, the Anti-Defamation League had Pepe on their radar, linking him to white supremacist groups. But what if Pepe’s radicalization wasn’t just organic anon chaos? What if it was a controlled burn? Hasbara, Israel’s public diplomacy machine, has a documented history of shaping narratives online. A 2018 Haaretz investigation revealed Israel’s use of AI-driven bot farms to flood social media with pro-Israel messaging, often under fake identities. If they can orchestrate that, what’s stopping them from steering 4chan’s meme culture to amplify division? Pepe becomes a hate symbol, the alt-right rallies around it, and the West fractures further—classic divide-and-conquer. And who eats it up? The American public, glued to their screens, parroting “Pepe good, Pepe based,” without a single original thought, oblivious to how these memes fuel a cycle of hate that keeps them distracted from their own crumbling democracy.
Then there’s QAnon. 4chan’s /pol/ was ground zero for Q’s cryptic drops, starting in 2017, spinning tales of a global cabal—often coded with antisemitic dogwhistles—eating babies and running the world. By 2021, the FBI labeled QAnon a domestic terror threat. But what if Q wasn’t a rogue anon, but a hasbara psyop? The Soyjak leak suggests Israeli dominance in post activity, and former Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky, in his 1990 book By Way of Deception, bragged about the agency’s ability to “script events” to manipulate public perception. X users have been buzzing, with some outright calling Q a Mossad operation, a narrative to radicalize the American right. Could QAnon have been a controlled narrative to keep Americans chasing phantom cabals while real geopolitical games played out? It’s not a stretch—Mossad’s history of psychological operations, like the Lavon Affair in the 1950s, shows they’re no strangers to false flags. And the American audience? They swallowed it whole, storming the Capitol in 2021, waving Q flags, all while their own healthcare system collapsed and their wages stagnated. Spoon-fed a conspiracy that hurt their own interests, they begged for seconds.
Now, let’s talk racism. 4chan’s /pol/ is a cesspit of slurs and stereotypes, from anti-Black tirades to Islamophobic manifestos. But if Israel was steering the ship, why amplify racism? Simple: Chaos is a weapon. A 2019 study by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue found that online hate speech on platforms like 4chan directly correlates with real-world violence—think Christchurch, think El Paso. If Mossad wanted to destabilize the West, what better way than to stoke racial tensions, pitting groups against each other while Israel’s own actions—like the 2025 Gaza escalations—fly under the radar? It’s a Machiavellian playbook: control the narrative, control the outcome. And Americans, oh, they’re all in—sharing /pol/ memes, chanting “build the wall,” or clutching pearls over “CRT in schools,” never once questioning who benefits from their division. They’re so enthralled by the Hasbara machine, they’ll cheer for policies that gut their own communities, all because a 4chan thread told them to.
But the American zombie-fication doesn’t stop there. During the Gaza war, Israel’s hasbara campaign went into overdrive, deploying AI tools and bot farms to spread disinformation, as reported by The Intercept. Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs even paid $2 million to a consulting firm to target American Congresspeople—especially Black Democrats—with fake accounts and misinformation. Meanwhile, Meta complied with 94% of Israeli takedown requests, silencing pro-Palestinian voices while Americans nodded along, thinking, “Israel’s the good guy, right?” Never mind the 15 Palestinian paramedics killed and buried in a mass grave by the IDF in March 2025, a war crime brushed off with a flimsy “mistaken identity” excuse. Americans didn’t blink—they were too busy retweeting hasbara talking points, their critical thinking outsourced to a foreign intelligence op.
But here’s where it gets murkier. The Soyjak Party hack isn’t verified. No independent outlet has confirmed the data’s authenticity, and 4chan’s own mods—those who didn’t go dark—called it a “glowie op” to discredit the site. For the uninitiated, “glowie” is 4chan slang for intelligence agents who “glow in the dark” with their obvious agendas. And let’s be real: 4chan anons aren’t exactly known for their airtight sourcing. This could be a hoax, or worse, a counter-psyop to make /pol/ double down on its antisemitism, blaming Israel for its own sins. The hall of mirrors never ends.
So, what’s the evidence of Israeli influence on 4chan-style extremism? Let’s look at the receipts. A 2020 report by the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab documented how Israeli-linked accounts on X amplified far-right narratives in the US, often posing as MAGA supporters to push anti-Iran sentiment. Then there’s the 2013 leak of a hasbara handbook, published by Mondoweiss, instructing operatives to “infiltrate” online forums and “redirect conversations” to Israel’s favor. And don’t forget Act.IL, an app launched by Israel’s Ministry of Strategic Affairs in 2017, which gamified online influence—users got points for posting pro-Israel content on platforms like 4chan. That’s not conspiracy; that’s documented. The Electronic Intifada reported in 2019 that Act.IL’s staff is largely former Israeli intelligence officers, running “grassroots” campaigns that are anything but.
For visuals, check out Al Jazeera’s 2018 documentary The Lobby – USA on YouTube, where undercover reporters exposed Israeli operatives training American activists to manipulate online discourse. Or dig into the 2023 VICE News piece on X, “How Israel’s Hasbara Machine Targets the West,” which details their use of AI to shape narratives on fringe platforms. Links in the description—if they haven’t been scrubbed.
Let’s zoom out. 4chan, at its core, is a paradox: a chaotic space that thrives on anonymity, yet potentially a controlled stage for state actors. The Soyjak leak, if true, suggests Israel played /pol/ like a fiddle, turning anons into unwitting pawns in a larger game. Pepe, QAnon, the racism—it’s all part of the script, a digital Lavon Affair to keep the West fractured while hasbara agents laugh behind their Guy Fawkes masks. And the American public? They’re the perfect marks—enthralled, thoughtless, spoon-fed every narrative, even when it’s against their own interests. They’ll cheer for endless wars, ignore their own poverty, and vilify their neighbors, all because a foreign psyop told them to. But even if the leak is fake, the fact that /pol/ bought it hook, line, and sinker proves the real psyop: 4chan’s own paranoia, weaponized against itself.
This is boqprecision, signing off. Stay sharp, anons—the glowies are watching.

🔧 Editorial Note (Added 4/22/2025)
After publication, it was brought to my attention that one of the images included in this article—purporting to show Israel as the primary origin of 4chan posts—was digitally altered and does not reflect an authentic source. This image was widely circulated online and presented as factual at the time of writing, but further review has revealed it to be a forgery.
Fake
Original
That said, the central argument of this piece—that 4chan has long been subject to manipulation by actors with both domestic and foreign agendas—remains intact and supported by a range of other sources cited throughout. The broader patterns of influence, narrative shaping, and state-aligned disruption are not invalidated by this image’s inauthenticity.
Transparency is critical. I’ve removed the image and am keeping this note here to maintain accountability.
