Norway, Ireland and Spain recognized a Palestinian state on Wednesday in a historic move that drew condemnation from Israel and jubilation from the Palestinians. Israel ordered back its ambassadors from Norway and Ireland.
It was a lightning cascade of announcements. First was Norway, whose Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said “there cannot be peace in the Middle East if there is no recognition.”
Gahr Støre said the Scandinavian country will officially recognize a Palestinian state as of May 28. “By recognizing a Palestinian state, Norway supports the Arab peace plan,” he said.
Just took a look at the reddit comments on a similar piece of news. It’s a cesspool of just-created accounts up voting each other on pro-Israel comments.
It’s a pity some influentiable people won’t be able to immediately notice that they are bots.
Yep r/worldnews went from condemning Russia for their war crimes on Ukraine to damn near universally praising and supporting Israel’s war crimes on Palestine.
Sadly, I don’t think it’s all bots and propagandists. A lot of them are real people that really do have that level of cognitive dissonance.
Ukraine didn’t attack Russia first with rapist maniacs. If it did I think you’d find more people would turn a blind eye to Russian atrocities too.
“They committed war crimes first, so we can commit war crimes back!”
That’s the argument you’re using.
Your comment made me finally go there and check. Wow, the comments here and there are night and day. The most common comment on similar threads is “Norway, Spain and Ireland are showing the world that terrorism works”.
If terrorism didn’t work, the CIA wouldn’t do so much of it.
Reddit has been pretty much captured by Israeli propagandists. Lots of single-issue accounts created in the last few months - seems very well coordinated.
That’s not true at all. I never got in trouble on reddit until I started arguing with hamas supporters. Those bans came fast.
do you mean people critical of the israeli government and the way that the idf are conducting the war? is everyone who disagrees with you hamas?
People or bots supporting hamas is hamas enough. From the river to the sea. You can play nuance armchair quarterback if you want. I don’t.
The Palestinian people deserve to be free from their oppressors. Calling for an end to the insane actions by Israel is not pro Hamas, it’s just pro-human decency.
And anyone saying anything else is supportive of and complicit in genocide and war crimes. Fuck Zionists.
“Hamas supporters”
