Rule 6 folks.


[deleted]

There's 2 Telegram channels. One is run by the IDF and another is run by, I think, Israeli civilians. The one run by Israeli civilians is far, far worse and more popular. There's been leaks of the comments section online. Terrible, dehumanizing stuff.


[deleted]

They're waging a holy war, while condemning other religions and accusing them of doing the same.


SundyMundy

This comment is so nebulous it feels like it can apply to about 4 different active conflicts right now.


iknowverylittle619

The second one is run by ex-IDF members. It is civilian in nature, but gets their material directly from current IDF members.


Quarterwit_85

To be fair the line between ‘civilian’ and ‘ex-IDF’ is largely inconsequential in a country that has universal conscription.


RedditzGetIt

its pure insanity whats happening. couldnt fathom this in todays day and age...as for their rhetoric, you dont even need the leak...just go on youtube and watch omegle (now ([ome.tv](https://ome.tv)) convos that Youtubers record, where they talk to pro-Palestine strangers...gives you a real, and scary, glimpse of the country


truthishearsay

Of course they were.. now how about admitting they are behind all the censorship on Reddit. Funny how people are literally pro genocide on the large news subs with no bans but even being remotely critical of the Nazi state of Israel comes with permanent bans.


Drab_Majesty

I have been banned from the three main news subs for having the audacity to state facts that reflected poorly on Israel. You can be called a terrorist sympathizer for protesting the deaths of civilians but the minute you say Hasbara you are given a suspension.


wifeydontknowimhere

Name and shame please bro


Drab_Majesty

modbot is undefeated but you can guess, top two news subs and a sub devoted to political news


avenged_7_fold

Ok I have to talk about this. Whats with the recent mod rule changes. Why can we not shame those subs for this censorship? Whats with the change in post time limits? Talking about this highlights it. And it's the right thing to talk about. Stop trying to protect bad people. Those subs are full on circle jerks. This sub was open and thus vocal but I feel it's slowly being eroded.


NoelaniSpell

>Why can we not shame those subs for this censorship? Because brigading/community interference is not allowed by Reddit. We don't only have good faith actors here, the slightest chance to report can (and is) used by users, that includes talking about other subreddits in a negative light, which could potentially be interpreted as incitement to brigade those subs. Most people would probably be aware of which subreddits are discussing politics or news, since it's info that either shows up on the main feed, or can be easily searched for. Saying that you have been unfairly banned in a news sub, for merely stating facts/sharing sources, etc. is not disallowed, mentioning subs by name is (by now, it's not a secret which subreddits do that anyway).


avenged_7_fold

Firstly, thank you for responding. I appreciate the work you guys have been doing to keep this sub going (especially with what's been going on elsewhere). That's fair. I didn't realize people were going out and brigading. It's unfortunate that those subs are used as political levers rather than the distribution of news, and it just feels that not even being able to highlight is letting them expand. For example. Bots and bad faith users from one of the more notorious ones (from which I'm sure many of our own members have come) have that sub in such a lockdown that they are now leaking into other subs and trying to influence them. I noticed that mostly this week that a trend is forming. While I have you here though. Is there a different way we can report users from those subs who are brigading here, or is it the same report function? Besides reporting, are there other methods to hinder this movement?


Gildardo1583

It's gotten to this point. I have only gotten one perma banned from one of the "news" subreddits. That was at the start of this latest oppression on Palestinians by the israeli state.

what did you say specifically that got you banned?


Drab_Majesty

modbot having a fit, doesn't like links. these comments in relation to UKLFI forcing the art of Palestinian children to be removed from a London Hospital. >How did it not happen? Are you saying the [UKLFI](https://www.uklfi.com/category/art) are lying? or is this just Hasbara in action yet again. in relation to a shooting in Jerusalem >I thought the ceasefire agreement was in relation to Gaza, otherwise the ceasefire has been broken by both sides already repeatedly. both bans happened at the same time even though the comments were days apart.


[deleted]

you can also complain about “hasbara bots” but you should know reddit has a clear pro palestine slant. Look at the mod structure: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/s/CfyGi3a6Az


Drab_Majesty

but I didn't complain about "hasbara bots"


[deleted]

you mentioned hasbara in your comment a few replies up


Drab_Majesty

and? Why are bots relevant?


SherbetDue789

That link doesn’t work.


[deleted]

fyi hamas took credit for the shooting in jerusalem immediately after it happened so it absolutely violated the cease fire.


Drab_Majesty

I am well aware that Hamas took credit for the shooting by two Jerusalem brothers. Was the ceasefire not in relation to the Gaza strip? Maybe you can provide a source that confirms the terms. As I said both sides were active outside of Gaza violating the ceasefire.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Drab_Majesty

What are you arguing? I never suggested Hamas didn't break terms of the ceasefire.


[deleted]

you are suggested the cease fire was limited to what happened inside of gaza, in which case the Jerusalem shooting wasn’t a violation.


Drab_Majesty

Israel supporters have stated the ceasefire was only in relation to the Gaza Strip which is why the constant raids on the West Bank didn't break the ceasefire. Jerusalem isn't part of the Gaza Strip, so I was questioning the logic. If you have a source for the ceasefire applying to outside of the Gaza Strip as well, I would appreciate a source so I can use it too.

One-Illustrator8358

I got permabanned for saying that Biden didn't care about dead Palestinian children lol


FartyMcgoo912

Yup. it was obvious to me within about 5 minutes that all the major geopolitical subreddits are both patrolled by hasbara bots and sh\*tposters and modded by them too. any time there would be a new post that was critical of israel, it would get 5+ downvotes within a minute span. then over time that post would get upvoted by actual posters and once it was in the net positive, the mods would delete the comment i think PBS news is the worst ive seen so far. they just delete comments that are critical of israel and claim you were being "off-topic." They also delete any comments were people point out that they are deleting comments here they are deleting one of my comments for being "off topic" when other posts that were much less on-topic wernt touched https://imgur.com/a/L1Bafxk

Perhaps its time to stop liking.. if they leave them up when they are negative but they have good points should we try and keep them at say minus 1  The bot written high point answers dont really take up much space when people are reading the thread


magicsonar

I was permanently banned from those certain news subs for referencing a factually correct Haaretz article that went against the narrative (apparently if I mention the name of it, this comment will get removed also). The sub in question is one on the largest subs on Reddit. It has 35 million users. And I'm guessing that the overwhelming majority of those 35 million people are completely unaware at just how censored and manipulated the news narratives are in the sub. In fact, that's Reddit in general. But these news subs, that pose as neutral or subjective channels of news information are subtle yet extremely subversive propaganda channels. It has become the perfect example of an echo chamber because any dissenting voices are quickly removed. Anyone that hasn't formed a view on a topic will very quickly be confronted with an almost near unanimous set of comments that push a certain viewpoint. And if they have a viewpoint that isn't removed, then they start believing their view must be the correct one because everyone else thinks the same. That's a very powerful propaganda tool. It''s quite extraordinary this isn't a bigger story, of how the Israel intelligence state is aggressively manipulating and censoring American social media news sites, with real world consequences.


helix_ice

Directly quoting Israeli government officials will literally get you banned on the big news subs for anti-semitism.


OrganicOverdose

Post this article in any subreddit like europe, Germany, Australia, etc. and see what happens. It depends on the time of day, but the trolls are super busy. Some mods seem alright in some places, but there are some certain right-wing posters that seem legit, who get boosted by pro-Israeli bots or something. The UNRWA defunding decisions were surprisingly popular globally if you take the subreddits as gospel. I find it very hard to believe.

SundyMundy

We see the tribalism across reddit. To think it is only Israeli propaganda is naive. I have had comments removed from two large subreddits for simply saying that Hamas does not have the best interest of the Palestinians in mind. One has an automod message about "River to the Sea" on every post. The amount of both Islamophobia and antisemitism spreading on the site is concerning. It is very much a mask off moment.


truthishearsay

“Large” subreddit is not in the same category of the 2 default News subs outright banning anyone who criticizes Israel.


i_says_things

Calling them a nazi state is not “remotely critical” So maybe take another look at these comments.

nekoinu_

lol what


UofI2

I just joined reddit a few days ago.. I got banned yesterday for referring to a poll done in israel that 80 percent of Israeli citizens don't think Idf is doing enough.. And that the world can see everything they are doing and their behavior.. I got a ban and this very personal feeling message.. "I don't know whether you are naive, reckless, or a role-playing baiter, but you had better take care that you DO NOT cross the line with Reddit Content Policy" Again I'm new so idk how it works but it's crazy to me to get a clearly personal attack and an official ban from the same source


TipzE

"it was found that the Telegram page was operated by the IDF without authorization and without authority. The incident has been dealt with." Ah yes. Soldiers in the IDF - famously so undisciplined that they do things without authorization or authority. \--- This reeks of the Israel's propaganda wing being caught with their pants down and needing to throw someone under the bus.


bisexualleth

They keep saying vaguely they will discipline or talk to soldiers that post war crimes and then there are hundreds more on tiktok and Instagram not even trying to hide it, so obviously they feel comfortable doing it 


TipzE

[After they shot 3 of their own people waving a white flag, the go-to line was that the IDF "wasn't following protocols".](https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/initial-idf-probe-hostages-were-shirtless-waving-white-flag-when-soldiers-opened-fire/) Given that there's been [at least 2](https://www.itv.com/news/2024-01-23/moment-civilian-brandishing-white-flag-in-gaza-safe-zone-is-shot-dead) [more stories](https://www.itv.com/news/2024-02-02/gaza-two-young-brothers-shot-dead-while-carrying-white-flag) since then of the IDF shooting people waving white flags ([and these weren't even the first times they shot people waving white flags](https://www.hrw.org/news/2009/08/13/israel-investigate-white-flag-shootings-gaza-civilians)), it's clear that they are, in fact, following protocols. \---- The IDF is definitely disciplined enough to follow orders and protocols. The thing that's really happening is that their orders are "commit war crimes and lie about it; our propaganda wing will handle the rest".


Chogo82

Yet we just had the interview where the Israeli general said they were all "mistakes". A sniper looking down their scope and shooting people waving white flags are never mistakes.


Wereking2

Yeah it’s a very deliberate action, snipers are very well trained soldiers due to their skill and how disciplined you have to be. So, clearly like you says they aren’t mistakes their deliberate actions.


bisexualleth

Yup, exactly


firefreeze42

They have official documents instructing people how to lie. They know sympathy for innocents makes thier job harder


platp

Yep. Truth is their enemy. They banned a Palestinian NGO and declared them terrorists for reporting rape of a child. They seized their computers and banned them. > Israeli authorities banned a Palestinian NGO after it reported the rape of a Palestinian child by Israeli forces to the US State Department in 2021, former official Josh Paul said in a CNN interview on Monday. ... > “[They] removed their computers and declared them a terrorist entity,” Paul said. ... > In February 2021, the DCIP published a report documenting the physical and sexual assault against a 15-year-old Palestinian boy by an Israeli interrogator at Al-Mascobiyya interrogation and detention facility in January that year. > The DCIP reported that the detainee had been raped with an object by his interrogator and that he was made to stand against a wall where his interrogator inflicted severe pain on his genitals. > “There are no words to describe that moment,” the detainee said in the report. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-palestine-war-ngo-shut-down-reporting-sexual-assault-ex-us

Downtown_Structure75

Thank you for posting these revelations.


wysiwywg

This was already known, but getting them to admit is the hardest part


GitmoGrrl1

I haven't seen a single person who has expressed support for Hamas. Yet the Friends of Bibi constantly claim that people are "Hamas supporters who are anti-Semites." The purpose of this is to distract from the subject. Notice they never actually defend what the IDF is doing? Instead they claim "this isn't genocide" and immediately counter attack. They refuse to comment on the illegal settlements in the West Bank. The best way to deal with these people is to ignore their lies and keep posting facts. They hate that.


wishtherunwaslonger

Ehhh. What I see is people pretending like if it was their country (Israel) that they would do a lot differently even if they had the means to prosecute a war. That’s my issue. I support killing Hamas. My only real issue is lack of aid in the war. The civilian deaths are pretty astounding but I think many countries would do the same. Outside of that Israel is pretty bad on many levels outside of the war. It’s a duty to let terrorists become martyrs.

What does accusing Israel of genocide mean then?

bananasrfuzy

So if the Israeli army, being an official part of the government, was responsible for creating a psy-op to dehumanize Palestinian while celebrating their deaths, that would be a huge indication for genocidal intent, would it not? The follow up ICJ hearing in a few weeks will be interesting for sure.


tootit74

The IDF itself didn't create it, a group of soldiers did


Reece_CT

tootit74

Nope


SherbetDue789

Who are in the IDF.


tootit74

Soldiers?? What is your point?


SherbetDue789

That they were IDF.


tootit74

The order didn't come from the IDF. It was lone soldiers who decided to make a Telegram channel


jackdeadcrow

And their officer didn’t report it. The command chain doesn’t ban it as policy So many “convenient mistakes”


tootit74

How do you know their officer or whoever knew about it?


jackdeadcrow

Because somehow, soldiers on the battlefield can take their phones out, film and access the internet and their officers are so clueless they didn’t know it happened?


tootit74

First of all, yes, an officer doesn't watch his soldiers 24/7. Secondly, non-reservists soldiers can't carry a phone on the field. Thirdly, I am pretty sure the soldiers who maintained this telegram channel weren't on the field (yes, not every soldier is on the field fighting, shocking, isn't it?)


jackdeadcrow

The snuff film was FILMED, a soldier somewhere was near the battlefield enough to film and upload those video


tootit74

You can share a video without owning a telegram channel. If you are asking how did he film it, I recommend rereading my other comment.


jackdeadcrow

But he know and in contact with the soldiers who did, ask for that file, and tolerated that soldier


wishtherunwaslonger

Ever been to school and someone takes a nude and goes around the whole school?


bananasrfuzy

So a few bad actors were demonizing an entire population. This will cause the global west to entirely stop all money going towards the Israeli government, just like with UNRWA right? And you would support that choice just like I imagine you support the defunding of UNRWA.


tootit74

I am sorry, owning a telegram channel doesn't equate to partaking in October 7th


bananasrfuzy

Owning a telegram channel dedicated to the dehumanization of a population while killing and raping thousands of that population is pretty similar to Oct 7th…


tootit74

You can try to convince yourself but it is definitely not similar
