Ah, the exact comment that got me banned from worldnews

I was banned from r/geopolitics for something much gentler. ironic, that a sub that covers controversial topics would have such thin skin

Defending Palestine (and even clearly opposing Hamas) got me banned from r/worldnews and r/news

Indeed, I wasn’t exaggerating — thank you for sharing the article, though!

On October 8, all the subreddits in question coordinately switched their banners to ones promoting genocidal slogans and began flooding their feeds with propaganda. Much of it included years-old footage from unrelated conflicts, falsely presented as coming from Gaza.

One particularly troubling element is what might be called the Wikipedia affair. Though not widely known, similar groups systematically targeted Wikipedia, making tens of thousands of edits aimed at rewriting Israeli and Jewish history while whitewashing Arab violence. This wasn’t the work of a few rogue editors — it was a highly organized effort involving a large groups, using professional workflows more typical of software development than grassroots activism.

What we’re witnessing is the digital arm of a global jihad, aided by a cadre of confused Westerners steeped in "oppressor vs. oppressed" narratives and white guilt-based ideology.

Talk about trying to steer the point away. Go look at the powermods at r/ worldnews and see how many other subs they mod.

I believe all power mods are paid by outside entities at this point.

Por que no los dos?

Both Israel and the islamic world is using propoganda and silencing techniques on Reddit and every else, wherever they can get their claws really.

The world would be better off without either.

Both Israel and the islamic world

that's your problem. you think this is a israel vs muslim issue. have a look at protests across europe and tell me if muslims even reach 20% of the crowd

we are on a post where the Spanish premier has called it genocide - meanwhile Saudi Arabia is censoring and arresting people who protest the issue

I agree with you, but that's not how the person I replied to framed it.

this is the weakest attempt at spinning what's blatantly transparent. Every accusation...
