We primarily fund the other Middle Eastern countries to keep Israel safe. Were it not for Israel, we would just have normal diplomatic relations with them.

Worth noting that he was the #1 donor to AIPAC: https://forward.com/news/580248/donations-aipac-has-raised-s...

Yes except for the Tel Aviv part. Hiring in Israel is a huge liability. Brand and war damage.

We are the target of this propaganda, and I don’t mean the Scottish independence stuff. The US and Israel are jamming the airwaves with anti-Iran propaganda to manufacture consent to attack Iran. Every day we’re being subjected to a ton of this stuff on every channel (including HN).

It’s certainly not working on me, but I fear far too many of us are just taking these stories at face value.

I don't believe in that and it sounds totally out there, yet it's far less extreme than infant genital mutilation.

It’s actually on the people claiming there are “massive” protests to prove that’s true.

DropSite news is not a troll, and neither are the other accounts. They’ve done some of the best reporting about Gaza available.

There are no anti-government “protests” anywhere near as large as what I posted. I can’t disprove something that never existed in the first place. As for Zionist in nature, 100% of the people falsely claiming there are massive anti Iran protests are militant Zionists.

The people claiming Iran shut down the internet are the same people lying about the protests, even going so far as to post pro-government protests and mislabel them as anti-government protests. Israel is prepping to attack Iran and the fake “protests” are one of the first steps. We’re being lied to with impunity.

That doesn’t mean Iran did that. Israel has been preparing to attack Iran again, and cyberattacks on their internet are a pretty obvious first step.

We don’t know that Iran shutdown the internet, they never claimed to do that. Any “protesters” that got shot were Israeli plants.

Mind you, the US actually shot and killed a real protester yesterday.

This is a good account for coverage: https://x.com/AryJeay/status/2009336400198484306

Some protests are also pro Iranian government, but being framed as anti: https://x.com/DropSiteNews/status/2009148051663815165

And this was Tel Aviv two days ago: https://x.com/ZahraHamidia/status/2008620128351715644

Much bigger protests in Israel, but without the propaganda spin and artificial reach.

I mean, that would be cool but no, just regular people.

I mean, it’s not a lot. That’s the whole point. There’s not “massive protests”. Pure fiction.

I know actual Iranians.

If I need something, I’ll find it.

Oh I agree. I don’t want or need to see ads, I currently do though.

“Users” are the only people who matter. Companies are artificial constructs and, in an ideal world, would never be prioritized over the public.

If they provide value, people will seek them out.

That’s not a problem for the customers though. Capitalism twists our incentives toward prioritizing return on investment over quality of life. Especially now with the internet, I literally never need ads. I just search for the solution to the problem I’m having. No push needed (or wanted).

X is basically a propaganda arm for Israel at this point. It’s obviously under control of a nefarious state actor.

@dang this comment clearly breaks the site guidelines.

You have it backwards, Israel is hyper focused on the US government, media and tech industry. I’m just one of their victims who’s had enough.

Yes, fulfilling regulatory requirements are part of shipping a product.

Hamas is in Gaza, this attack was against Hezbollah and civilians in Lebanon.

Palantir is a tech company.

This is news, not propaganda. Palantir was involved in the pager attack.

I’m in the US, which also happens to be the target of Palantir spying.

Whatever you think of Oct 7th, it doesn’t have anything to do with tech. Posts like these do.
