Abstract
Aim/Purpose: The paper explores the success of KGB Operation SIG to incite hatred and create chaos against a democracy
Background: About 50 years ago, the KGB created the means to create upheaval in the Mid-dle East. This paper explores one such campaign and its successor campaign, revealing some disinformation techniques in use today.
Methodology: The paper brings together literature from many fields in its exploration of Op-eration SIG.
Contribution: The paper reveals the role of the KGB in the PLO’s campaign to replace Israel with an Arab Muslim state and the PLO and Hamas’s successor disinformation mechanisms
Findings: Operation SIG is an early and extremely successful example of the Sovi-et/Russian campaign to disrupt democracy.
Recommendation for Researchers: The recurrence of antisemitism, particularly on campus, can be attributed to Operation SIG.
