Influencer project

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.

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?

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.

Oh it’s very obvious and a fatiguing narrative.

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.

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.

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.

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 😆

I said I wouldn’t post, but this actually exactly what I am talking about. You are supporting Israeli people and Israel’s right to exist. Guess what. So do I. I also support Palestinian people and Palestines right to exist. Most people I know IRL hold the same position. On MN, you cannot support a free Palestine without being against Israel. You have to explain this position over and over and over. I see posters do this over and over and over.
It’s not about people not agreeing with me. It’s the way the posts are written which give it away.

BTW both you 2 Twiglet and Sharon post a lot. Like you never sleep. It does seem like being on these threads is your jobs 😅

My default was to be on Israel's side after seeing the images from Oct 7th as any rational person would be

A rational person probably wouldn't immediately pick a side, given the long and complex nature of the feud. This didn't start on October 7th.

I think for many people the first thing they heard about this conflict was on the 7th of October. I see a lot of references to how Hamas started the war.

This is a highly unoriginal comment and is repeated most days though normally with a sneer not a laughing emoji. It seems a little unkind considering for all you know we are two lonely souls that never leave the house. We could be agoraphobic. If you think we post too much, try telling MN your concerns and maybe they will do a welfare check.

If I post a lot, so what? At least I don't have paranoid fantasies like the one expressed on this thread about other MNs being paid a few grand to support Israel.

For those interested here’s the list of influencers.

It wasn’t a comment on posting a lot on MN. It was about posting a lot on this forum. I see your posts 24/7 and I don’t think you are paid by Israel no. Your posting style is different and it’s not your posts I am referring to at all.

Come on ... people instinctively side with the country or individual being attacked, or that's how it normally works anyway.

Yes there's a long and complex feud which admittedly I am no expert on. But I don't feel like I need to be an expert to know which side triggered this particular conflict and this is the one I'm debating not the others.

Sorry, that's just not true. There may have been people that don't support 2 states but I don't recall when I last saw it expressed. Twiglets and I are very much in favour of 2 states and have said so many times.

I haven't come across you before so can only assume you have changed your name so we have no way of telling how often you post.

Even so ... you seem like a decent person. What is the relevance of pointing out someone posts a lot on a forum beyond trying to silence them?

You see, this is a staggering comment. Yes the conflict has gone on for a long time. But 7 October was of a different magnitude in the way it came out of the blue and in its barbarity and savagery and in its clearly genocidal intent. How anyone could not be sympathetic to the victims is beyond belief. Instead, some people shrugged and at least implied the Jews had it coming, and others immediately celebrated around the world. And I point out again that the biggest spike in antisemitic attacks in this country happened immediately.

The name changing is very very common on MN (and not against the rules I know). But it does make it look like Sharon and I post more than people on the pro Pal "side" because I never change my username and I don't think they do either.

But some people very obviously do so that's something to take into account.

Yes I post a lot, won't deny, but so what? If people don't want to engage they are free to ignore my posts.

I don’t usually post on this forum.
i am usually on Books. I do change my user name.

Yes that’s a fair point. Apologies I didn’t mean to upset/ offend. I actually do like it when I recognise posters!

Apology accepted.

So do I like it when I recognise posters and wish everyone kept the same username always but anyway, it's fine.
