Continued pro israel/ anti Palestinian bias at worldnews and other ‘news’ groups

9    26 Feb 2023 21:45 by u/Public-Tie-9802

Just last week over 11 Palestinians were killed by israel and barely any posts were allows on worldnews and elsewhere. Yet today multiple stories about two settlers being killed have been run. Most pro Palestinian posters, or even posters criticizing israel, have been banned. Zero context that the two killed were actually settlers in Occupied Palestine. Zero context that these killings follow two months of continuous raids, attacks and home demolitions by israeli troops and settlers. Zero context about over four dozen Palestinians murdered by settlers and israeli troops in the past two months. And in the comments pro israelis are allowed to dominate the posts with blatant lies and hate speech, while, due to being banned, there is virtually zero questioning their narrative. (Sorry, tried to post a link or screen shot…. New to posting).

Just because you support terrorism doesn't mean that every mod on Reddit should.

Harassment much? Trolling me across multiple subs because I point out anti Palestinian bias?

You are a perfect example of one of israel’s zionazi trolls. Have fun with your burner account until it’s banned and you make a new one. You only prove what resorts israel has to stoop to in order to spread its propaganda.

Enough of your antisemitic bullshit. Just say you hate Jews if you want to be honest for once

Ha! Try some more low effort tropes that are the staple of paid pro israel trolls. Let’s see, my post is about reporting pro israel bias. You respond with personal attacks, accusations of anti semitism and Jew hating. Keep up the clowning, you keep providing a perfect example of how israelis are.
5
And it took you one comment to go to terrorist defending. Typical Nazi
9
The only Nazis here is the one trying to cover for israeli atrocities . Keep being a perfect example of a Zionazi.

Go join Hamas. The IDF will deal with you in short time

IDF shit themselves if a 12 year old throws a rock. The most dickless army in the world.

Lmao, you do have the brain of a 12 year old so makes sense that's what your mind jumps to.

Good little Zionazi troll, keep making yourself look like an idiot so you can pretend israelis aren’t terrorist land thieves. Sooooo brave…. Using the weapons the US gives you to murder people and steal their land. Anyone who has ever met an israeli quickly realizes why they are universally hated and considered the rudest and most supremacist people on earth. Sucks to suck. Super brave with your troll account.

Aww wittle antisemitic bot thinks he can replace "Jew" with "Zionist" or "Israeli" and not come off as bigoted. God you're dumb.
3
Hate to break it to you, there are many many Jews that also recognize what little dick, insignificant cowards Zionists are. So cute you think your name calling scores you any points. How many troll accounts do you have to burn through to online harass people? You should seek mental health treatment and maybe get a hobby. Again, I only bother responding to you because you really are a perfect example of a pro israel troll. Fake account. Immature. Instant name calling. Incapable of actually discussing any relevant issues. You’ll troll until your account is banned then you’ll make another account and do it again. Really a sad life. But hey, most Zionists are sad, weak little people, so you’re nothing special there. Enjoy your trolling! Gotta go do grown up things you wouldn’t be able to relate to.

Did you also support apartheid in South Africa? Why are you supporting Israeli apartheid? Why accuse him of antisemitism for criticizing government policies? Is it because your position is morally indefensible?

Adding to this, after the attack Israeli settlers burned a Palestinian village, 75 houses and 100 cars burned, 1 dead and 390 injured. My post on worldnews about this was deleted once it reached 25 upvotes

I just got banned there as well. Maybe mods are trying to control the public narrative. What is your opinion?

The Israel/Palestine topic is constantly being entrenched and manipulated in US/world politics. Those guys in that region of the world have been fighting for thousands of years, and will probably continue to do so for thousands more. It's always the same stuff about how a building that gets bombed for being a missile launch site is a daycare, or the neighborhood full of children that gets ravaged was taking pot shots at the other guys, and someone rushes in to throw a baby between a suicide bomber and a checkpoint so they can make the baby a martyr. Sort of like "eat or be eaten". I doubt we ever hear the full story in any of these situations that flare up. They all try to pander to the world media for being the "better guy", and the truth may never be known. To any outsider, getting involved seems to be like punching a tar-baby.

Sorry, but I have to counter your characterization of the israel-Palestine issue. The narrative on thus has been dominated by the US and israel up until social media allowed locals and local journalists to tell their own story (this happened around 2014 when israel slaughtered 2200 Palestinians in Gaza over 50 days). It hasn’t been ‘thousands of years of fighting’. The fighting began when the Zionist movement began systematically taking over the land and expelling its residents in the 1890s. And your portrayal of Palestinians as throwing babies, suicide bombers and using civilian places as launching sites is pure Zionist propaganda. Palestinians have been denied 99% of building permits since the 1970s by israel, so israel routinely destroyed and structures built by Palestinians (including their homes) for being built without a permit. At the same time settlers and Israelis have been permitted to build wherever and whenever they like. Please speak accurately.

You seem to be quite passionate, and one-sided about that mess, and there's nothing wrong with having your own opinion, however, you may come across as rude and abrasive when you go around insisting everybody else who doesn't share your world-view is wrong. Fair or not, I wouldn't be surprised about being kicked out of other forums for coming across that way.
0
Funny, you seem to be only focused on responding to extremely bigoted descriptions of Palestinians as terrorists to use their babies to attack innocent Jews as being abrasive, but not the ones who make such bigoted comments in the first place. Maybe check your inherent bias? And for reference, one sub I was banned on (run by Zionists) banned by for ‘misinformation’ and then for not agreeing with the moderators when I countered the often repeated claim that Palestinians started the war by pointing out that large scale military assaults were began by Zionists the same week the British withdrew and that israel wasn’t ’immediately attacked by ‘five neighboring countries’, but in reality Zionists had been massacring local Palestinians for months before neighboring nations got involved. The Deir Yassin massacre is perfect evidence of this timeline. I keep it very factual. Yet on the other side the pro israel group routinely calls all Palestinians ‘terrorists’ who are innately violence and want to kill all Jews. The pro israel bias and anti Palestinian hate speech is common. There are multiple reports across Reddit of people being accused by worldnews of ‘terrorist apologia’ for criticizing israel.

jesus christ dude, get help. I'm not here to debate the endless whataboutism of that shithole.

I would have answered earlier but after being harassed by the other user who harassed me repeatedly here and across multiple others subs, I got banned from Reddit for seven days, without reason or example of any posts I made. So yes, the pro israel groups absolutely work to control the public perception and the media. Broadly speaking many Reddit groups control the public perception and narrative of their subs based on their own agendas. Regarding israel specifically, israel literally has groups line the Hasbara fellowship which they spend millions of dollars on every year to organize and train students, religious groups and their soldiers to monitor social media and control public perception via flooding their comments sections with pro israel posts, attacking and banning other posters who are criticizing israel and becoming moderators. Feel free to research “Hasbara”. It isn’t a secret, they have their on Facebook page. I requested multiple times for the Reddit admins to tell me why I was banned for a week and never received a reply. The only posts I had made prior to the ban were in response to the user here calling me a nazi and harassing me across multiple subs. I think that is evidence in itself.
1
I'm going to guess you were called a nazi because you didn't agree with all of someone's opinions, and the reddit admins banned you because you didn't join in on the circle jerk of agreeing with all their politics/opinions. That's pretty much what the site is, now. If you're not SJWing for the social-extreme-left, then you end up being censored.
1
That is definitely part of it, but they specifically censor anyone posting stories that show israelis brutalizing Palestinians and comments defending Palestinians or criticizing israel. It’s way more than SJWing. Forget about questioning trans ideology, even saying maybe children should be deciding they need elective surgery on their genitalia. Forget about pointing out that while Russia isn’t Good, Ukraine isn’t necessarily innocent of all wrongdoing either. There are specific opinions beyond SJWing that they do not tolerate being questioned.

USA and Israel are tight with military intelligence, so It's not surprising they may get a bit more leeway with the media. Still, I wouldn't be happy if Hamas were in my backyard firing missiles at me from buildings like daycares, or hospitals just so any counter attack at that point would look bad. Then again, I wouldn't be happy if I had someone demolish my home just because I was the wrong religion. I'm sure the USA loves the fact that they have a way to test all the new-fangled war technology, and Israel loves to have the iron dome, and to show their thanks by helping to develop stuff like stuxnet. I don't see this relationship changing any time soon.
1
That’s a pretty ignorant and propagandistic portrayal of Hamas, but yeah, israel is garbage and the US military industries use it to test their weapons in ‘actual combat situations’ on a captive population. It’s an abhorrent situation.
1
If you're going to call people propaganistic, and ignorant, don't be surprised when those people tell you to go away. Now, you sound like one of those outrage-porn commenters that only hates on Israel. Quite a bore, as I've heard plenty of that already, and it doesn't contribute anything meaningful.
1
There is a lot of propaganda out there on all sides. I’m fine for legitimate discussions, but that includes pointing out misinformation. Didn’t mean YOU were propagandistic, which is why I specified that I was talking about the portrayal of Hamas. Sorry if I was blunt and it sounded like a personal attack. After you hear the same miss characterizations, that you know are false, being intentionally repeated over and over by one side or another and it gets challenging to not be blunt…
1
What part do you feel is false?
1
It isn’t what I ‘feel’, it’t reality based on fact. Pro israel groups flood media with comments about ‘Hamas firing thousands of rockets into israel’ yet fail to discuss actions of israel which prompted the response by Hamas - last year’s attacks on Al Aqsa and evictions in Sheik Jarrah are prime examples. Similarly IDF a cure every Palestinian they murder as being a ‘terrorist’ yet never prove anything.smevwith their bogus claims of ‘firing from hospitals’. Meanwhile in the2014 slaughter of Gaza israel targeted and destroyed multiple hospitals and other vital infrastructure. IDF routinely murder journalists and fire at ambulances while preventing ambulances from tending to the people they just shot. This isn’t the forum to go into detail, but feel free to post on israel_palestine for a more full discussion if you are really interested.

I already verified those things to be true, so not bogus. You carry on like "nuh uhh, false..." or "yeah well if it is true it's because of what the others did" etc. etc. ad infinitum. You are just continuing to be that typical one-sided banter for what is essentially two cats with their tails tied together, and thrown over a clothsline. All I get from you again is that you hate Israel, and love Palestine, and say anything you can to support that narrative. By all means, you're entitled to your opinion, but because of that, you're not someone I would curate for any semblance of the truth about that topic.
1
I’d love to see how you ‘verified’ those claims. I strongly suspect they are ‘verified’ by ‘the IDF said so. I’ve actually been closely following this for over a decade and researching it. But sure, go ahead with your own ‘nuh uhh…false… you just hate israel’ argument. You really seem to have zero interest in actual facts or history. Again, this sub is for discussion of censorship issues. If you care to move the conversation about what a POS country israel,is to a more appropriate forum, I’m happy to give you verifiable information that you can take or ignore as you chose, but given your response here, I doubt you are asking questions in good faith.
1
Why are you even still talking to me? You have nothing else to share other than you're unhinged. I get your angle: "Israel-bad bad bad; Palestine-good good good." You made that more than clear. Peace.
1
You began the conversation by asking me questions. I ga e you an honest answer with honest information. The only one resorting to unhinged name calling is yourself. You shouldn’t bother asking questions if you aren’t willing to have a legitimate conversation. If you are going to simply resort to juvenile name calling, then please refrain from wasting people’s time.

holy dicknipples batman... I never called you names, yet you're the one calling me propagandistic and ignorant. Go gaslight someone else.

What's the news? No one should be killed on any territories. At most deported. What's going on about burned villages? No villages should be burned either.

I'm with you OP, I'll let this post remain. War is fucked no matter which way you put it, but painting israel as this little beacon of peace is bullshit.
1
Thanks. This is a subject I follow and people are free to have opposing opinions, but I have been surprised at how every major group on Reddit that supposedly exists for ‘news’ is actually heavily censoring any criticism of israel and manipulating public perception through only allowing one viewpoint in the comments. I have no doubt that this level of censorship happens on many other subjects, but like anything, one only becomes aware of it when it effects someone directly or is experienced.
2
Have you seen the Zionist here openly harassing me because I posted that there is censorship and manipulation on behalf of israel? They have harassed me across three different subs. Their account is a one day old burner account and they have done nothing but post personal insults no pro israel propaganda. I see posts line that all the time with zero recourse. Yet I and others have been immediately banned for responding to them calmly with verifiable facts. This is just a perfect example.

Welcome to bots mate. Planted and built across Reddit to make sure there is only 1 opinion that everyone follows.
6
If only it were just bots. I’ve been following this issue long enough to learn that there are literally hundreds, of not thousands, of real people who actively (and sometimes professionally) troll and manipulate social media to influence information, public discourse and perception of israel.
2
Haha a bot might not always be a computer.. it could also be someone that's a paid smooth brain out there to push and sway opinion. Just remember, Reddit is not a true representation of the world. Come here for your niche hobbies and avoid anything political.

You are definitely right. The problem is that Reddit falsely portrays itself as an open forum without being honest that it facilitates misinformation and propaganda while actively silencing certain viewpoints. It should be forced to be one or the other. It is one thing if the bias of a sub is inherent in the title and description, but so many subs are dishonest about their purpose and moderation. I’m fine with biased subs being biased, but a sub that represents itself as a news sub, and facilitates discussion about the news, shouldn’t be allowed to misrepresent its actual censorship and manipulation of public discourse.

Wrong sub buddy, this is where the snowflake fascists post their ban porn. I'm just subbed here to laugh at them for being braindead from the comments. Should check out r/worldnewsvideo not really a news sub but they allow more posts like that.

LOL at /r/worldnewsvideo. /u/s_y_s_t_e_m_i_c_ is a mod there and spends his days jerking off while banning anyone who breathes out of his echo chamber

Seems like a perfectly appropriate sub to post about censorship on Reddit.

Should be, but most people here are American far right and pro Israeli government.
1
Actually that’s rapidly changing. That is the perception though, since social media is manipulated (through bans allowing pro israel comments dominating the comments sections and posting biased stories). When israel was formally declared an Apartheid government, worldnews and others took down almost every post about it. Plus israel organizes groups to troll social media 24 hours per day and get Zionists as mods.

I meant this sub specifically, just scroll down through the posts and read some comments. But go off sister.

Are you 14?

Are you insulting me because I don't care to have a discourse with you? Fuck off cunt.

No, just trying to figure out the maturity level behind your posts.

I'm saying this sub is full of alt right fascists. For whatever reason you belive differently. End of conversation. Trying to find the "maturity level" of a random internet stranger shows your lack of experience. Now fuck off cunt.

Ah… and here I was thinking your speaking like a 14 year old was the example of maturity. I’ll happily let others speak for themselves for they chose. Again, the subject of this sub is censorship.

Do you realize are arguing with a Marxist? Stop responding to the ignoramus.

I though they were a 14 year old getting some trolling in before bedtime. My mistake. I’m happy to have conversations with integrity and intelligence, sadly that isn’t what the other poster was attempting.

How have you reconciled with the post being upvoted?

It's sitting at 0 updoots currently so not sure what your meaning is here.

44 comments and 0 upvotes. Then all the anti Israeli government comments are in the negative. I think my original statement has been proven.

This is jaded and not accurate take. Yeah, sure there’s a lot of what your describing but it’s not all that. People are being censored on Reddit for all kinds of reasons and this is the only place I’ve seen discussion about it from time to time. You said you’re just here to witness it but you’re just spreading a mischaracterization of the sub, when you’re going to bother to comment you should just engage and try to make it a better place. Basically, put up or shut up instead of loudly complaining.
0
If you scroll through the last ~10 posts across ~20 days 2 of those posts maybe 3 could be considered not a banning of actual hateful content. So I would say this sub still swings a particular way. I'm not complaining I like cooking here and commenting on their dumbass posts. Pissing off the right wing snowflakes and watching them melt. It's fun.

2 or 3 out 10 is pretty good

It's an obvious bias.
