WATCH:
"Israel Genocide Tracker is an X account created in May that scans social media and gathers data on Israeli soldiers from previous posts they had published boasting about their actions in Gaza," the Middle East Eye reports.
It then creates a profile for each soldier, including personal information such as their name, age, family origin, and army unit.
According to TRT, which cited Israel's Channel 12 News, multiple soldiers have expressed concerns over the account.
"I'm afraid they could Google my name and find it there," one soldier told Channel 12.
The Israeli government and its agents compile endless lists of critics of Israel on sites like Canary Mission and the Anti-Defamation League but when pro-Palestine activists share the public information shared by Israeli soldiers themselves on social media suddenly it's a big deal.
"After Oct 7 [we implemented] an Iron Dome for Israel here in the US, where we're monitoring every elected official at every level of government. Every school board commission, from social media to press releases to official documents, we're monitoring all of it."

Israel activist accounts like StopAntisemitism can dox and harass young people making minimum wage at Home Depot with total impunity but when the same tactics are used against soldiers fighting in the IDF, it's a TOS violation.
Hey @HomeDepot can you please have a chat with your employee - vilifying a nation filled with 7 million Jews isn’t helping the current wildfire of antisemitism we’re seeing in America and around the world. pic.twitter.com/JZxpqNYQ1X

Musk instituted reasonable rules against doxing two years ago but they're clearly not being evenly enforced.
Al Jazeera earlier this month released the documentary "Investigating War Crimes in Gaza" which exposed how Israeli soldiers are openly posting videos and photographs on social media of themselves committing war crimes in Gaza.
Whereas doxing and harassing a young woman for dressing up as Yahya Sinwar for Halloween is of no public interest whatsoever, documenting the actions of accused war criminals clearly is of public interest as many of these soldiers are dual citizens who could be prosecuted if they ever returned to the West.
