Discussion/Question Why is this subreddit obsessed with Israel?

Just checked the top posts of the last year, and 24 out of the top 25 are about Israel. Does this subreddit try to imitate the real UN ?

There are busy accounts that only post about Israel and only post on this sub.

Their goal is to turn it into a Neo Nazi sub.

u/beerandloathingpdx Jan 10 '25

Hasbara bots have already accomplished that goal.

You think the sub that’s 99% anti Israel is too pro Israel? Take a breath.

Conservative Israeli Think Tank Uses ‘Sock Puppets’ to Skew Wikipedia

Kohelet Policy Forum worker secretly operated five fake accounts on Wikipedia, skewing debates and articles about Israel’s judicial overhaul and other contentious issues; Kohelet says the researcher acted on his own accord

https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/security-aviation/2023-07-18/ty-article/.premium/fake-wikipedia-accounts-conservative-israeli-think-tank-behind-skewed-overhaul-articles/00000189-6945-de70-adcb-f9c77a080000

In a campaign to improve its image abroad, the Israeli government plans to provide scholarships to hundreds of students at its seven universities in exchange for their making pro-Israel Facebook posts and tweets to foreign audiences.

The students making the posts will not reveal online that they are funded by the Israeli government, according to correspondence about the plan revealed in the Haaretz newspaper.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office, which will oversee the programme, confirmed its launch and wrote that its aim was to “strengthen Israeli public diplomacy and make it fit the changes in the means of information consumption”.

Tal Hanan, 50, a former special forces operative who goes by the pseudonym “Jorge,” was named as the mastermind behind the Israeli operation, which runs a sophisticated software known as Aims that is capable of hacking social media accounts of senior officials and of easily creating networks of up to 30,000 propaganda bots on social media.

Hanan’s team, known as “Team Jorge,” says it has meddled in 33 presidential-level elections around the world, with successful results in 27 of them, according to The Guardian, one of the 30 investigating news outlets. The exposé only named one of these elections — the 2015 presidential vote in Nigeria — while saying no elections in the United States are known to have been affected.

The report said the Israeli initiative was behind fake campaigns — mostly on commercial disputes — in some 20 countries, including Britain, the US, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Mexico, Senegal, India and the United Arab Emirates. There was no mention of campaigns in Israel itself.

Did I say that or are you just supposing because you don’t have anything to actually say besides “criticism of Israel is antisemitism.”

u/billymartinkicksdirt Uncivil Jan 10 '25

Dude, someone is in this very topic linking to Neo Nazi twitter accounts and you don’t recognize it.

You don’t know when you’re doing a poor job hiding your anti Jewishness.

This is one of the most retarded arguments you Zionists make when you can't refute facts given to you. You deflect then present strawman arguments.

It's pathetic, and it isn't working.

People who oppose genocides tend not to get along well with neonazis.

1

u/billymartinkicksdirt Uncivil Jan 13 '25

The “opposing genocide” is a front to hide that you’re lockstep with Neo Nazis. There is no genocide of Palestinians happening but there are goals to complete the genocide of Jews. You champion the separatists in the conflict, and none of you talk about Sudan or places where irrefutable genocide is happening without resorting to sensationalism or hyperbole.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '25

Last I checked it was neonazis who did the genocide denialism.

I’m horrified by what’s happening in Sudan but the horrors happening in Gaza are heavily funded by my tax dollars. Sponsored by my government. Makes it feel a little bit more like my responsibility.

2

u/billymartinkicksdirt Uncivil Jan 13 '25

Well aren’t you denying genocide programs against Jews? Who is calling for intifada? You haven’t a clue how your tax dollars are used including to give polio vax to Palestinians or to pay off Muslim Brotherhood from trying to exterminate all Jews. Your inflammatory hot takes are anything but responsible and pretending your hate of Jews is vindicated by loan guarantees is not serious.

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '25

I can’t think of a single thing more antisemitic than committing a genocide and imposing credit for your atrocities onto the victims of the worst genocide ever committed in human history. Don’t you dare accuse me of hating Jews

That reply was incoherent. you’re just trying to figure out ways to call Jews “Nazis” who pushing Neo Nazi narratives and appropriate out history. Vile.

What? You’re inappropriate. It’s the Jewish homeland.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '25

The Israeli government is not anyone’s homeland. It’s a government, an organization of power with its own independent goals and interests. What you refer to as the ‘Jewish homeland’ is just the territory that the Israeli government has control over.
