Israel is executing an online influence campaign using hundreds of fake social media accounts to advance “Israeli interests” among progressive western audiences, including US lawmakers, Haaretz reported on 19 March, citing an investigation by Israeli media watchdog group Fake Reporter.
So they’d rather set up a bot campaign to defame UNRWA workers than just not fucking shoot the UNRWA workers
It’s kind of worse than that. They’ve built themselves a machine that has to kill UNRWA workers because it’s a genocide machine; that’s what it does.
In the modern day, a crucial part of any genocide machine is manufacturing consent for the genocide. This is also a large part of why the genocide machine was built - to manufacture consent for the awful people that run it. It creates an enemy and directs its subjects’ hatred at that enemy to deflect from their own horrific abuses.
If they turn off the genocide machine, that hatred goes somewhere and the people running the machine are now vulnerable, so their only option is to keep cranking the handle on the genocide machine.
This doesn’t excuse anyone of course - you don’t start running a genocide machine without being okay with genocide.
Apparently Hasbro has no power here.
We still have a few Hasbara posters but the most egregious ones usually can’t help themselves from screaming KHAMAAAS at people and catch a ban
There are a few that repeat IDF propaganda regardless of how much evidence ppl point out to debunk them. Some I think are ex-redditors that haven’t had pushback until they moved to Lemmy. I think many of the latter either reconsider their view when presented with good sources, or leave Lemmy for a more pro-israel space.
You cant help people… thats not humane… must be destroyed… /s fuckingdicklessasswhipes
As The Cradle has reported previously, Israel provided no evidence for its claims, which were part of a campaign to compel western nations to cut funding to the agency [UNRWA].
This is not true, the “evidence” was a couple of pictures on twitter with weapons covered by a tarp that said UNRWA. The source of the pictures was IDF, which are not only serial liars but stand to directly gain from the abolition of UNRWA. Imo falsifying evidence is worse than having no evidence because it pretty much disproves the claim.
never heard of thecradle.co
It’s banned by Wikipedia as an unreliable source.
The Cradle is an online magazine focusing on West Asia/Middle East-related topics. It was deprecated in the 2024 RfC due to a history of publishing conspiracy theories and wide referencing of other deprecated sources while doing so. Editors consider The Cradle to have a poor reputation for fact-checking.
It’s referencing a paywalled Haaretz article.
“and false allegations Hamas committed mass rape on 7 October.”
Did the UN not state that there were grounds to believe rape did occur?
rape occurred. mass rape did not.
Evidence of multiple rapes exist. While I understand you may have a set number that you consider mass rape (I don’t know what that number is) we have no evidence that the number of rapes were above or below that number.
What we do know is downvoting the discussion of this is supporting rapists. There is no denying that no matter how someone twists it. I would support a 2 state solution with an immediate ceasefire.
Israel has been in the wrong. Hamas has been in the wrong. Rape is always wrong.
What is the evidence and where can I read about it? You’re not talking about ZAKA, are you?
