This kind of IDF information war strategy is now routinely copied by the US military. The CIA launched a social media campaign, Humans of CIA, in 2021 that aimed to recruit from more diverse communities into its ranks. It felt deeply inspired by the IDFβs woke posturing. One of the most discussed (and mocked) campaigns, considering the CIAβs role in destabilizing and overthrowing governments since World War II, was the video of a Latina intelligence officer declaring: βI am a cisgender millennial, who has been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder.

Where are you from?β is a common question I receive upon meeting someone for the first time. America is such a melting pot, and I believe the curiosity behind this question overrides their self-awareness as they unconsciously probe to identify my race. Indeed, this question creates a level of discomfort that I live with every time I hear it.
