Hamas is ISIS “advert”

[Catabogus]

Is there supposed to be a flashing (almost too quickly to read) “advertisement” telling us that Hamas is ISIS and we should “stand with Israel”?

Usually the adverts I see on Mumsnet can be closed by clicking an “X” at top right, but this one has no such option. It’s a bit disturbing.

I’ve attached a screenshot.

I noticed this and wondered the same. Surely Mumsnet is not promoting propaganda or profiting from this horrific genocide?

No response?

MN likely has no clue about the content of ads on the site until they have appeared. Hopefully they will take action to stop this particular one appearing.

Hamas is ISIS
And the Israeli gov are blood thirsty maniacs.
They lost the high ground by killing thousands of children.

If it's flashing up and then disappearing fast this is a common mind control tactic to manipulate your subconscious thoughts without you consciously realising what you're thinking. Coca Cola used to advertise like that in cinemas - a can of Coca Cola would pop up and then disappear and you'd find yourself craving coke without knowing why! I thought this form of advertising was banned though.

Israel has been pushing this "Hamas is ISIS" line with all the stories about beheadings etc. who knows if anything that they tell us is true.

Subliminal advertising is hidden to the naked eye. Or almost. That's not what this is.

You'll get a faster response if you tag @mnhq

Thanks very much for alerting us to this - we completely understand your concerns.

We're trying to track it down but haven't been able to locate it yet. If anyone sees it again, it would help enormously if you can get the click-through URL so we can block it. You can turn off data/wifi and the link will still load.

This.

What is the “click through URL”, sorry? Do you mean I should click on the advert (and copy the URL that appears)? I did try clicking it, but nothing happened.

@Catabogus - yes, we need the landing URL you get after you click the 'advert' as that's the only way we can locate and block it.

Have you seen it again this morning or was it just on that one thread last night?

No, it was on multiple threads last night. I haven’t seen it this morning but then I haven’t been on much at all (supposed to be working!). I’ll keep an eye out for it.

Just seen it again @JoMumsnet on a thread in step-parenting entitled “Coming up to ‘that’ weekend” .

The URL it takes me to is: https://maintenance.gov.il/error_page.htm

I realise that appears to be an Israeli government “error page” but I think that’s because it does a few redirects after you click. Here’s a screenshot again in case it’s useful.

I tried putting it into flight mode to get the actual URL:

(Excuse the black scribble - removing outing info on other tabs)

In case anyone is interested, it also mentions the children who are still being held hostage by Hamas.

Which bit of the message is so offensive? That Hamas is Isis or being asked to stand with Israel?

What do you think being asked to “stand with Israel” means, at this point? @Lolapusht

I don’t stand with Isreal if it means standing in support of a government who are bombing innocent civilians. That is offensive to me.

@mnhq The requested link (hopefully, it caused issues posting it and kept freezing up when hitting the 'post button')

Still going , I saw it and came here to complain about it

And, sorry
but I’m not going to click on it

It's on other sites as well so it's not a Mumsnet-specific thing.

Different ad but I'll just add it here rather than start a new thread. This one I presume MN have been involved with.

A floor cleaner for busy mums? Really MN?

Thanks @Catabogus and @therightcandidate for providing us with those links - it's much appreciated. We'll be back with an update as soon as we can.

Back again to say that we've now located these 'ads' and have blocked them. Thanks again for alerting us to this, and for providing the very helpful click-through links.

Both are offensive !

Did they breach MN advertising rules?
