Mossad has spies operating on college campuses and in local punk communities. Recently, my DIY communal living house had to kick out our roommate Lix after finding out they were working with Mossad.

There is no publicly available evidence to support claims that Mossad has infiltrated local punk communities or communal living houses. While concerns about surveillance are valid, and maybe a little anti-semetic it's important to distinguish between documented operations and unverified allegations.

Not to be insensitive to the queer community, but this claim is serious and inflammatory, suggesting that a foreign intelligence agency (Mossad) is infiltrating college campuses, punk communities, and even specific housing situations. These are red flags for potential misinformation or conspiracy theories, so it’s worth pausing before sharing or believing it. Additionally, there doesn’t seem to any original post, article, or any definite evidence to support this. Making such a claim can invoke paranoia for undeserving people. Without verification, it falls into the category of unverified anecdote/ conspiracy theory. It’s best not to accept or spread such a claim without further evidence from reliable, independent sources.

The original user claims that the Mossad (The National Intelligence Agency of Israel) has spies on college campuses and in punk communities. First off the user does not name a source to support or refute this claim. I initially found a secondary source, The Nation, that supported this claim, stating “The ICC pools resources from all of the campus organizations. So that they’re tapped in on all angles”. A statement allegedly taken from Lila Greenberg in 2016, a senior field organizer at AIPAC, when in conversation with Tony Kleinfeld. A man who was recording undercover for a docuseries “The Lobby-USA” which was never released. This piece of information was also in another article published on The Arab Center Washington DC. Though both The Nation and The Arab Center Washington DC are known to be very biased and publish distorted information. According to several media bias testers including All Sides, Ad Fontes Media, and Media Bias/Fact Check, they found The Nation to be far left in bias and below 50% credibility. I was unable to find information on this claim within any major/credible news organizations. With all the information given, this claim cannot be proven true as the only evidence that I could find to verify it, is not only almost a decade old but also requires taking the word of a student (Lila Greenberg) with no data to back up her claims. In addition neither article mentioned the punk community as well. Therefore, with the given information I believe this claim to be false.
