  • On Nov 12, 2025, nearly 100 Google users in 'Israel' searched for “ISIS attacks Disneyland,” sparking social media controversy.

“ISIS attacks Disneyland,” “Christian terrorist London,” and “Disneyland bombing”: These are all Google searches recorded on Google Trends in the past month when specifying the location as ‘Israel.’

The searches sparked controversy on social media, with many questioning why users in 'Israel' would search for nonexistent attacks, and raising further debate about searches apparently made before real-world incidents.

For example, on Nov 12, 2025, specifying the location as ‘Israel,’ you’ll see that almost 100 accounts have googled this phrase, which sparked controversy on social media since the attack never existed.

The unusual search activity drew attention to other claims of suspicious Google searches in 'Israel' this past month.

Another example, Social media users also claimed that searches for the name of Bondi shooter Naveed Akram spiked in 'Israeli' Google searches hours before a Hanukkah attack, with some suggesting this indicated foreknowledge of the incident.

Other posts attempted to account for time zone differences, noting that Sydney is ten hours ahead of 'Israel'. The shooting reportedly began at 7 p.m. local time in Sydney on December 14, which corresponds to 9 a.m. in Tel Aviv. One user claimed the first related Google search in 'Israel' occurred December 13 at 4 p.m. 'Israel' time, roughly 15 hours before the attack.

However, attempts to verify these claims using Google Trends were inconclusive, as the platform only provides hourly search data for the past seven days.

The discussion quickly spread on platforms like Twitter, where some users expressed alarm.

One post read: “Why are IP addresses in Israel looking up Disneyworld terrorist attacks! Are their plans being exposed in real time?”

Another claimed: “FOUND THE NEXT ISRAELI FALSE FLAGS. Israel is planning to bomb London and Disney. Keywords ‘Christian terrorist London’ and ‘Disneyland terrorist’ are trending like ‘Naveed Akram’ was before the shooting.”

While the online discussion highlights public curiosity and concern, there is currently no verified evidence linking 'Israeli' search patterns to the attack.
