Wonder why the project had to be secret. Far too often see all the pro Israeli content everywhere not just social media platforms but also forums like this.

It's complete nonsense.

If Netanyahu was paying me he would be withholding payment since I've said I hope he gets voted out in 2026 and a more moderate government elected.

I think @MartaMooMoo thinks we're not genuine Mumsnetters because we support Israel as a country (the people) and it's right to exist.

Luckily MNHQ welcomes people of all opinions as long as expressed politely.

Yeah, they demanded a refund from me a while back. Contrary to popular belief I am not terrified 😆

Its a completely inaccurate argument borne out by no evidence whatsoever! Not least you and I who are endlessly criticised, along with a few others, are very obviously not supporters of the Israeli government. There are a few but they aren't all that vocal.

Oh they are very efficient. They hijack all threads and remove any chance of balanced debate which made every thread repetitive and boring. Anyway I think I have said my piece so won’t post on this thread anymore.

That is simply untrue, as anyone can see. I'd be delighted if someone would hijack and close down most of these threads, quite frankly. Efficient, my arse.

You are dramatically over simplifying the debates on here, misrepresenting the views of most posters and obviously those posters, if they exist haven't been remotely efficient or we wouldn't be having these discussions and the counter position wouldn't dominant, as it is.

This forum has been taken over by the Israeli propaganda machine to a large extent.

That's laughable ... why don't you look at all the threads on the CITME board and you will see that more of them are criticising Israel than Hamas.

Some are neutral of course, hope that's ok.

That’s the posts I am looking at yes. I am not contributing much anymore. It got tiring and I knew many of the posters are not genuine Mumsnetters.

MartaMooMoo · 05/10/2025 12:56

Oh it’s very obvious and a fatiguing narrative.

The West is more terrified of being called Islamophobic.

How can you say propaganda is doing a great job at shutting down critics when social media is flooded with posts criticising Israel, including MN?

There is absolutely no evidence of that. Just repeating it doesn't make it so. Thet have done a rather bad job of shutting down criticism that's for sure. Pretty much every western leader has criticised Israel many times, numerous UN resolutions, hyper critical media.

It isn’t live on the homepage of the BBC app now when I checked. I mean who is looking at news items at 5am on a Sunday morning?

I’d be interested to know how long it stayed live on the homepage. I’m sure some clever person will share the stats on social media once they’ve worked it out.

Though like I said the Megan story is very prominent despite it not actually being news.

Well I found it in seconds. I expect its not a headline because they don't yet know what happened, what the motivation is etc. At a sensitive time news outlets have to careful about how they pitch something. That is responsible journalism. There are regular attacks on synagogues at the moment, most of them are not widely reported and certainly not headline news.

Of course there’s two tiers. In everything.

There was an arson attack on a mosque in East Sussex. Just double checked and hasn’t been reported on the bbc news app though the story of Megan Markle going to Paris fashion week has.

I don't know why you can't see it on the BBC. The timestamp is 5.06 this morning

The Board of Deputies have been quick to condemn it.

It’s the way the posts are written. I can spot them a mile off now.

I haven’t seen many anti semitic posts and ofc they should be removed. I have seen looots of posts claiming something is anti semitic when it clearly is not. The Israeli government themselves are kings of calling everyone anti semiotic if they say anything critical. I think that’s why it’s taking so long to call out the genocide for what it is. Everyone is terrified of Israel and being called antisemitic.

You don't see many flagrantly anti semitic posts because they get removed.

And the reason it's taking "so long to call out the genocide" is nothing to do with social media and everything to do with it being an extremely complex court case.

No one in the West is "terrified of Israel" - I'd be a lot more terrified if I lived under the Hamas regime than living where I do and being able to criticise both the Israel government and Hamas as much as I want to.

There are also antisemitic comments that stay up and personal attacks that stay up. They're not always consistent with what gets deleted and what doesn't, doesn't mean there's some conspiracy or "two tiers", whatever that means.

Who is terrified of Israel? I find that a bizarre idea. Noone on Mumsnet, that's for sure - why would they be, what is Israel going to do? and I haven't noticed much terror of being called antisemitic either. There is a lot of this sort of defiance though. And a lot of people emplpying the Livingstone Formulation.

There are people on this board that are constantly making anti Muslim statements that are sickening but posts stay up. Aren’t deleted despite being reported.

The two tier system is alive and well.

Thank you for sharing. Couldn’t remember who it was. I mean hasn’t Ted Cruz run for the presidency? Sure he will try again unless Trump manages to turn over the constitution and is allowed to run for a third term.

Cruz was one of the many candidates in the crazy 2016 cycle, where Trumps MAGA movement destroyed all the old school Republican candidates. Ever since then he has bent the knee to Trump.

The 2028 candidate will be whomever the donor class "chooses" 🫣😉
