Hamas is ISIS “advert”

47 replies

Catabogus · 09/11/2023 22:10

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.

@mnhq - its now no longer showing, thank you.

Am I right in presuming if this pro Israel advert shows on the Mumsnet page then Mumsnet have been paid by the Israeli advertisers to show this advert?

Nope.

Both are offensive !

Why?

Thanks mumsnet and thanks to everyone who reported it. I stand with Jews but not with zionism and the carpet-bombing of civilians

I usually ignore adverts that are either of no interest or are for something I don’t agree with. Don’t think I’ve ever reported an advert.

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?

Hear hear!

Well Hamas isn’t ISIS and I won’t stand with Israel whist they continue to commit war crimes. Pretty simple really. I’m not offended by it though.

Hello

We've had a look and this one is blocked - can we ask you to please clear your Mumsnet cache?

Thebayofmelon · 10/11/2023 17:27

The advert is still appearing - doesn’t seem to have been blocked yet

But it doesn’t mention the thousands of children that have recently been killed by the creators of the advert so it is misleading. It’s inciting anger and hatred and has no place on mumsnet.

You've put literally no thought into this post at all have you?

If they were being paid, why would they be trying to remove it? 🙄🙄

They're not literally isis but they are just as bad. I don't see why that part is offensive.

Cleared it and used another device and it’s still there.

It’s back

It’s not offensive but it is incorrect. It is the Israeli propaganda machine at work and the two groups are ideologically different if not equally abhorrent. Facts are important.

@Livinginanotherworld thinks it's offensive.

I don't think the ad is claiming that they are actually the same group, just that they're equivalent.

SarahC50 · 10/11/2023 19:32

@TheresaCrowd no need to be so aggro. I was asking a question that I didn't know the answer to. I thought advertiser's paid Mumsnet to advertise on their site and because this one is offensive they had it reported and we're trying to remove it x

I just got the Advert too. The first one reported. Web version on an iPhone
