To say all pro-Palestinians should watch Fauda on Netflix?

Now it is a drama about how the Israeli security services deal with the conflict but it is apparently pretty accurate and is amazingly well produced and acted.

Season 5, which covers Oct 7th has just come out after a long delay.

I've had to take a break after episode 7 because it's so distressing but it still doesn't even come close to what happened that day.

I think it's gives a clearer idea as to the truth of what has been going on and it does try to give a perspective from both sides.

I think every pro-Palestinian should watch it.

AIBU?

"Palestinian supporters did no wrong ever! Why are you attacking us! We're innocent! We would never incite murder! We would never justify the killing of Jews"

Also Palestine supporters... @FeeFiFoFiddlyFum how precisely is this making Pro Israel people look bad? Please do elaborate.

That's quite an accusation. You should report them if you think they are trolls.
Their links have highlighted some of the more disgusting & dangerous antisemitic behaviour we've seen in the UK and reported from Europe in recent years.

Yes, I am reporting to MN.

Plenty of bot and alt accounts have been found. People claiming to be Jews and Israelis who incite hatred against Jews and then try to accuse anyone who calls them out of antisemitism. Turns out most of them are actually run by Palestinians or Pakistanis.

“Found” by whom?
When?
“Plenty” How many?
How did they confirm whether they were Palestinian or Pakistani?

Sources please.

Indian Newspaper reports on this: ignore the headline they actually found one guy running a bot farm.

Well that's certainly NOT a surprise.

Would also be surprised if there isn't massive IRGC run bot farms in Iran as well. So many accounts from West Asia on X peddling misinformation, clipped videos (i.e. Palestinian teen shot by soldiers for nothing with the beginning where he was stabbing them missed out), and easily debunked lies.

You provided two articles.

Both of them state: “Last night, we found a guy..”

So ”Plenty” is 1 Pakistani and 0 Palestinians.

Each of those guys were running 30+ accounts each, spreading misinformation.

Saying "2 isn't plenty, I demand dozens of articles" is just semantics.

There is no “each of those guys”. There is one guy.
1 Pakistani.
0 Palestinians.
The only person currently spreading misinformation is you.
Perhaps consider taking your own advice and stop?

I have never and would never agree that chants of ‘death to the IDF ‘are legitimate criticism. I am not ever fine with people celebrating the deaths of other Jewish people! How dare you?!

Stop making up false accusations as a pretence to post antisemitic material.

I didn’t get angry when you mentioned that person. I was upset when you accused me of being an antiZionist Jew token and replied that I had reported that post. I have ignored the later post where you mentioned that person.

Calling me an antiZionist Jew token was a personal attack on me and my Jewishness. I am disappointed that Mumsnet is allowing this public abuse of me to continue. It seems I must report each post individually.

Or... they're not really soldiers. Hence the anonymity.

How do you hold in your mind these two opposing things you have said?

Every Israeli over age 18 has been a member of the IDF

All Israelis over age 18 whistleblowing about abuses they witnessed within the IDF were never a member of the IDF

Anonymity is fairly common for whistleblowers for their protection it is exceedingly odd that you think this means they are not authentic.

There is an organisation of IDF veterans called Breaking the Silence. Criticism of the IDF is not a new phenomenon in Israel, it long predates the Gaza war. It is a sign of a strong democracy to have such organisations and a whistleblowing process.

I just wanted to comment to commend you on the restraint you have shown in your responses here! That posters comments were beyond the pale - engaging in some No True Scotsman fallacy BS; you don’t agree with me, ergo you cannot be Jewish and you’re lying about your ethnicity. I’m so shocked by that behaviour and that no one else, those defending other comments made by this poster, thought to call this out. Erasing your Jewish ethnicity because you what, won’t fall in line with their viewpoint, is absolutely antisemitism.

Actually, its a sign of a strong democracy for whistleblowers not to have to be anonymous. Protection from repercussions isn't the only reason people remain anonymous: it can be because they're lying or aren't who they claim to be.

Anonymous sources are inherently less trusted because they can't be verified or fact checked. There's a possibility their testimony is fabricated.
That's why I doubt the anonymous sources.

Breaking the Silence has been fact-checked and inconsistencies have been found in some testimonies, so again- my scepticism really isn't "odd" at all.

Please try writing properly before spreading further misinformation.

Again, one account.

This is your credible source. What are the credentials of the person quoted here?

And we are expected to believe random screenshots that are unverifiable?

It’s ok to have an opinion. It’s not ok to pass that opinion as fact.

Lol, so now "your source doesn't count unless I agree with their position beforehand!" or "i don't like what that source says, therefore it isn't credible!"

That's not verification, sweetie that's just confirmation bias.

The right to be anonymous when whistleblowing is enshrined in international and national law. Protection from repercussions is the primary reason whistleblowers request anonymity.

You have contradicted yourself. You said anonymous testimony can’t be fact checked and then went on to say Breaking the Silence (anonymous testimonies of IDF soldiers) has been fact checked and while some testimonies had inconsistencies, that would then also mean most testimonies were indeed verified.

“lol” and “sweetie” indicates you are frustrated.
