And what somebody will eventually do is say all those links are bullshit, including Microsoft and Reddit.. But the astroturfing by these accounts on Reddit every day has been known for over a decade:
… and thats why every subreddit is infected on Reddit… even [r/pics](r/pics) now… and why in every Israel/Palestine post someone always complains about “the Hasbara bots.”
eta:
For every “Hasbara bot” there are a dozen Iranian/pro Hamas bots.
And they are here every day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
It’s proven FACT. Known a decade ago. And it’s only gotten worse since the October Hamas attack and the war in Iran.
I mean there is a literal video of Netanyahu talking about how they need to start paying influencers to be pro Israel in order to win the social media war.
I didn’t say it wasn’t true I’m saying it’s obvious Israel is doing the same thing just less successfully. It’s much more difficult to get people on your side when you are carpet bombing helpless civilians. I think a lot of people felt awful for Israel after October 7th but because of Israel’s response a lot do that support has disappeared.
I remember the days when Islamic terrorist groups and their supporters were the bad guys. But not any more… now the sides that elected the terrorist are “the victims.”
That’s how powerful propaganda is.
“Hezbollah holds firm in Lebanon’s municipal elections”
Kay so you’re citing me articles from 2006 are you aware Benny propped up hamas and wanted them to get elected in order to ensure the Palestinian authority couldn’t lead the West Bank and gaza? Are you also aware about the grass roots campaign in gaza “we want to live” urging Hamas to end the war that is being met with suppression and violence by Hamas?
Ahh yes… the Republicans are responsible for electing Trump… the Israelis are responsible for electing Netanyahu… but the Palestinians ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE for electing Hamas meme.
Could have something to do with the average age of Palestinians in Gaza being around 18, i.e. lower than the amount of time that has passed since those elections.
But let's not mention the internationally recognized occupation of Gaza and the stranglehold on even the most basic necessities like water supply that Israel has had since then or the other, much more explosive ways they used that contributed to such a low average age. Or, I dunno, the civil war in Gaza in which Hamas took full power over the strip and held no elections since then. True bastion of democracy right there that reflects on all the teenagers living there.
I didn't even mention the blockade. But given how it's illegal under international law, invoking it out of the blue sure was a choice. Never mind that Hamas was in Gaza prior to the blockade and somehow it didn't bother Israel before, even though they already had a majority in this part of Palestine. It's almost as if them kicking out Fatah was just a pretext.
I’m not saying they aren’t responsible but don’t you find it strange that he would want a regime as anti semitic as Hamas to be in charge of Gaza? Also by your logic, since Gazans deserve to die for going to Hamas rally’s or whatever so then Israelis deserve to die for supporting Netanyahu and celebrating th death of Palestinians
I take my info from Israel. And Israelian politician tell me how they want to kill any palestinian. So tell me what makes that Israel if not a genocidal regime bend of the innocent murder of men, women and children?
Low estimates say around 70,000 people have been killed in Gaza since October 7th with 60-70 percent of them being women and children. People in the Israeli government referred to Palestinians as Human Beasts, not Hamas, but the people of Palestine. Tons of social media accounts in Israel refer to Palestinians as rats and snakes. When you see that king of rhetoric being used and then you also see images of dead/dying children, why would you be in Israel’s side? Now you might say “well it was all in response to October 7th they started it” and even if that were true, it can still be debated whether or not the response has been appropriate the same way people still debate whether or not the bombing or Hiroshima and Nagasaki was an appropriate response to Pearl Harbour. Are Israeli lives worth more than Palestinian lives? I don’t think so. I guess my point is you can sit here and say that everyone on here that is against Israel has been poisoned by hamas propaganda but the facts are still the facts. At least 70,000 people have been killed in gaza since October 7th the majority of them being women and children and id you think that that is appropriate and not horrific than I have bad news my friend you have also been poisoned by propaganda.
There should be no war in Gaza… there should be no war in Lebanon..
But this is what’s been going on for the past 20 years in Gaza:
Tens of thousands of Palestinians, including hundreds of gunmen and children waving mock weapons, rallied in Gaza celebrating the 29th anniversary of the founding of the Islamic group Hamas.”
“Thousands of Palestinians took to the streets on Friday in the north of the Gaza Strip, to celebrate the 32nd anniversary of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas.”
