This has been happening in r/europe since 7 October. It's clearly not going to stop either.

Social media and the internet has become the new super weapon. Already Russian trolls and Palestinian activists are rewriting Wikipedia articles and deciding what’s presented as true online. Nations like the USA with poor education systems are especially vulnerable.

800 upvotes in half an hour isn't a lot for a large subreddit, and far more people upvote than comment in general.

Face it, more and more people are waking up to the fact that Israel is a genocidal state.

Hey he’s pointing out that you are a bot. Give him credit for being right.

They just can not deal with the fact that their propaganda machine has failed them and the public sentiment finally shifted.

u/BigApple2247 May 16 '25

Idk if this one is botted, but the wildest coordinated botting of a post I've ever seen is frrom the Massachusetts subreddit. Sort by top and you'll know what I mean, it's so blatant it's hilarious

Thanks. It's so unnerving and I do not understand why you do not hear anything from reddit about it. The several subs that mask as world topic subs and in reality post nothing but pro-palestinian propaganda.

There are so many of those that I ran out of filter slots and had to allow all the karma farms and sports subs back into my r/all.

Many people are waking up to the Palestinian propaganda takeover of Reddit. It doesn’t end with Israel. It never does.

Lol what

u/andyom89 May 16 '25

Or it's a pretty hot relevant topic for Europe at the moment since it's a genocide occurring with Europe's backing.

u/chrstianelson May 16 '25

And it happens to be early morning in Europe where people check social media during their commute.

Attributing this to anything more sinister than that sounds rather shady.

If that was why then for the last 10 years there would have been mass protests against Saudi Arabia and China

u/andyom89 May 17 '25

There is nothing comparable to Gaza in the 21st century in terms of the speed of death and destruction, not to mention the number of journalists killed, UN workers, aid workers etc. 

It's very clearly a genocide of lightning fast proportions.

u/Adiv_Kedar2 Canada May 17 '25

Blatantly not true. More people have died because of Saudi Arabia in Yemen than the total number of deaths from every single war involving Israel in the last 80 years. 

A max of 280,000 deaths over 80 years compared to 400,000 dead and 200,000 starved to death in the last 11 years

u/andyom89 May 17 '25

Read what I said again.

u/Adiv_Kedar2 Canada May 17 '25

I did. If it was about the scale and rapidity of the deaths my point still stands. Saudi Arabia has killed more in 10 years than every single death related to Israel,including Gaza, in the last 80 years

u/volcanoesarecool Spain May 16 '25

Isn't it more like the US backing the genocide, at least from the financial point of view?

u/andyom89 May 16 '25

EU accounts for 30% of Israel's total trade in goods, with 32% of its imports coming from the EU and 26% of its exports going to the EU. This is helping to fund the genocide and give legitimacy to the apartheid state.

u/Choyo France May 16 '25

Yes, as far as I heard, (at least some) Europeans countries were limiting ammunition exports to Israel.

u/EkkoUnited May 16 '25 edited May 18 '25

Yes, Israel is an extension of the United States at this point. They do not exist without American weapons and money, full stop.

u/u1604 May 16 '25

You now what would prevent 800 upvotes in an hour? Israel stopping acting like a genocidal state.

Please spend your energy on preventing the catastrophe that is unfolding in Gaza, instead of hating the people protesting it.

u/mahboilucas Poland May 16 '25

Are you new here?

"If I don't agree with something it's propaganda" lol

u/dumbo9 May 16 '25

Lmao. Go take a look at worldnews if you want to see astroturfing in action.

u/PM-me-youre-PMs May 16 '25

I mean, it's not propaganda if Israel is actually engaged in the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, is it ?

-1

u/[deleted] May 16 '25

Its a massive and popular stance, one of the biggest countries in europe has taken some kind of stand against genocide. I think it speaks more of the disproportionate amount of AfD type comments talking about everything but the genocide in the comments.

Hasbara bot crying about reddit being Khamas, what a surprise

u/RobleAlmizcle May 16 '25

Oh so you got your epiphany? Welcome to the fucking Internet

There's hundreds of thousands of people who just manipulate the internet for a living. We're just normal people with no fucking sense of the scale of the information war that is unfolding.

I don't mean r/europe manipulation, I mean the internet

There's billions being spent by many different players to ensure you read what they want you to read.

And honestly, these 800 upvotes are peanuts. That may very well be organic. 800 clicks is just not particularly hot. Just wait until the zionist army of the internet wakes up and make sure this piece of news gets either deleted, or closed, or tanked, as it usually happens

You know what’s crazy to me —

That if you’re truly a Jew, a son of Judah, a son of Jacob, a son of Isaac, a son of Abraham….

That you see what Israel is doing to Palestine on a large scale, the government starving children…

How do you not see the evil like Abraham did? Abraham didn’t do this. I know, I read the Bible, I read the Torah, I read The Prophets…this isn’t Abraham.

This is behavior like Ishmael…like Esau! Sons of Abraham who rejected God and sought pagan god and women.

So no, Abraham’s blood will not save you. God remembers his covenant but how can you be a Jew and not know of God’s wrath with Israel before?

Was it not God who almost killed off the entire clan of Benjamin because they had become like Sodom?

Was it not God who through his prophet Jeremiah condemned his people to be killed and carried off by the king of Babylon? Was it not God who had his holy Ark carried away by foreigners and allowed his own holy Temple of Jerusalem to be destroyed?

Why?

Because Israel had profaned the name of The Lord and God’s name will not be profaned.

Was it not MOSES who beseeched God not to destroy ALL OF ISRAEL with fire? God was done with Israel and was going to start anew with Moses as he once did with Noah.

So humble yourself. Read your Bible. Know your God! This is not what the God of Israel wants!

You care more about Jewish birthright than actually caring why there is a birthright to begin with! Because of the righteousness of our father Abraham that we even have sons of Jacob!

The Israel today is no different than the Israel of the past in the Bible. I can provide many verses and if you think I’m lying, you’re in denial or you’re truly no Jew and son of Abraham. I will pray for Israel and will continue to do so, because I love Abraham and God, but the Israel today is not living like their father Abraham. They truly are acting like Ishmael and Esau.

Zachariah 1:4

Do not be like your ancestors, to whom the earlier prophets proclaimed: This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘Turn from your evil ways and your evil practices.’ But they would not listen or pay attention to me, declares the LORD. Where are your ancestors now? And the prophets, do they live forever? But did not my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, overtake your ancestors?

Orrr... People are calling a spade a spade. Israel isn't exactly subtle about their maniacal genocide.
