So, I don’t really know what’s up with the Tel Aviv thing. I think pretty much every story I have seen about this gets one important thing wrong though. Look at this MAGA heat map:
I’m almost sure that what you’re seeing there is residential proxies. It didn’t completely make sense to me that so much was centered in India (and also that we see random other countries that aren’t all that geopolitically active featured in the data). Seeing the map makes it obvious (to me) though: Someone is buying up proxy services from places where they can be had for cheap, and then running their fake accounts through those proxies.
I don’t think we actually know where the call is coming from, although the geographic distribution and the fact that some of them showed in Russia represents a strong hint.
There’s a “community note” added to show that that’s the map of proliferation of circumcision, for whatever that’s worth. Stop getting your sources from random Xitter posts.
I don’t think there was enough time for this heat map to be generated in a rigorous way. And I’m not defending any side by saying that. Just noting that it might not be great to help spread it.

Way ahead of you, read the rest of the comments and where I dropped the source of this from lefty_news because yes it is crap.
I saw that. I wasn’t referring to that source. I was referring to the random Xitter account.
Guess where I took that screenshot lol
I wasn’t on twitter.com at the time
Ew that is a lot of red in MI and OH

You are 100% correct, I think.

Another reason not to publish stories from The Canary, I guess.
Well, fart.
Thanks for following up.
