**I’ve seen this outfit on X- They identify targets and have them attacked in some manner, and worse.- [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/29/daniel-linden-shirion-collective-pro-israel-palestine-hate)**

**A prime mover behind the Shirion Collective, a conspiracy-minded, pro-Israel disinformation network** seeking to shape public opinion about the Gaza conflict in the US, Australia and the UK, is a tech entrepreneur named **Daniel Linden living in Florida who co-wrote a guidebook for OnlyFans users**, the Guardian can reveal.

**Shirion has harassed pro-Palestinian activists, including many Jews, offered bounties for the identity of pro-Palestinian protesters,** spread conspiracy narratives centered on figures like George Soros, and boasted of an AI-surveillance platform but offered few concrete details of how the technology functions.

Heidi Beirich, co-founder and chief strategy officer at the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, said of **Linden’s Shirion campaigning that his apparent “grifting” is common among extremists, “but his ideology seems very confused”.**

[**Tommy Robinson is another grifter**– recently detained while having the good fortune of Rebel News present and there to spread the narrative](https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/warmington-now-free-to-travel-in-canada-tommy-robinson-arrives-in-toronto)

> **Robinson, who has criminal convictions in 
> his past for assault, mortgage fraud and attempting to gain entry in the United States using his friend’s passport**, stepped off a plane Saturday afternoon after getting the news he can continue his visit in Canada.He was given his passport back and while the CBSA said it does not comment on individual cases, it has been confirmed Robinson has a flight booked to return to England once his Toronto commitments have been met.

**Back to Shirion**

**The revelations shed light on the nature of Shirion, which has been criticized in the US congress and attracted media attention around the world**, and its role in pushing back against criticisms of Israel’s conduct in its invasion of Gaza.


**‘Surveillance network’**

**The Shirion Collective is an online operation that since late 2023 has appeared on platforms including X, Telegram and GoFundMe to coordinate the spread of pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian propaganda, and the harassment of pro-Palestinian protesters in the west.**

**By 3 December, Shirion was offering a $500 reward, later bumped up to $1,500, for the identity of protesters Shirion claimed were engaged in “genocidal chanting”.**

In succeeding months**, Shirion has posted dozens of bounty offers and also has claimed to have paid out to people who have allowed them to identify their perceived opponents.**

**As recently as 19 June, it claimed in a post to have paid out $1,000 for the identity of a protester who was the subject of a bounty on 4 June.**


**Hate and disinformation**

Beyond the bounty program, Shirion voices or boosts Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian hate, while c**elebrating death and destruction in Gaza, and violence against their supporters in the west.**

**Shirion has repeatedly celebrated the deaths of Palestinians in Gaza, including Palestinian journalists and children.**
