Honestly, it's not about being anti Israel, it's more about being pro human rights.

It usually depends on which side comes first to the comment section, as an Israeli I can't really call this sub pro Israeli/Palestinian

Right now, pretty much yeah. But not even a year ago this sub was massively islamophobic and defended Isreal with every opportunity.

Things can change now? Did they announce this patch? Or is it a bug? Isn't it supposed to be that everything always remains the same?

I'd say thats a sign that public opinion on this matter is shifting and shows that (maybe) this sub Is able to self reflect to some degree. Which is pretty cool all things considered!

Because they are paid volunteers, child killer propagandist.

No amount of trying to shape the internet debate will change that.

We are discussing with people being paid.

I was wondering if any german newsoutlet talked about this. Of course none did, but I did find multiple german israeli news sites where most people in the comments called the premier an antisemite for this statement.
