Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

How dare she be angry about decades of occupation, oppression, ethnic cleansing and slow genocide? Doesn't she know that her place is to just accept it and beg to lick Israeli boots?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Worse of all it looks like a fake account posted this. Since she is popular there are many accounts wihh her name. It's unlikely Ahed, a thoughtful activist, would write the gibberish they claimed she wrote.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

However, Nariman denied that her daughter wrote the post. “There are dozens of (online) pages in Ahed’s name with her photo, with which she has no connection,” she said.

I wonder if Israel intelligence is too dumb to know not everyone is honest about who they are on social media, or if they don't care if it was really her.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

They probably made the sites.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

They have had their eyes on her for a while. They hate her because she became a symbol of resistance. Most Israeli arrests of Palestinians are groundless

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Don't care what she (allegedly) wrote. Maybe if settlers went back to brooklyn she'd have no reason to (allegedly) write hateful stuff.

Her message, conveniently missing from this article:

“Come on settlers, we will slaughter you. We are waiting for you in all the cities of the West Bank. What Hitler did to you was a picnic. We will drink your blood and eat your skulls”

posted to her Instagram account that has been tagged for years as part of her book tour and her social life. If she didn't write it, she still gave someone that platform to spread a message of pure hate and should share the responsibility for their actions.

Her message, conveniently missing from this article:

With absolutely no source whatsoever, while pretending that settlers who violate international law by stealing land is the same as every Israeli...

Not to mention:

However, Nariman denied that her daughter wrote the post. “There are dozens of (online) pages in Ahed’s name with her photo, with which she has no connection,” she said.

She's a young woman, you really think Hamas doesn't take random pictures of young women and make fake accounts?

How often do you help out Nigerian princess you meet on social media?

With absolutely no source whatsoever

Sorry, I thought you would have done the minimum of research and checked the other posts in [email protected] first:

JPost is obviously biased, but actually links a primary source - which include screencaps of her account (@ahed_tamimi15) and linking IG posts from others tagging that account as part of her book tour.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You should read that BBC article, it also points out there's no proof she made the comment, and goes into how illegal "settlers" and the IDF has been harassing her family directly for a decade...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You mean this:

The post is no longer visible online, nor is the account carrying Ms Tamimi's name and photo where it was published last week.

Except it is cached in the wayback machine, and there are posts that still tag her. Don't read one article - read all of them, read some primary sources, and make your own decision. I'm convinced that someone published this on her account, either her or someone she gave access to.

I’m convinced that someone published this on her account, either her or someone she gave access to.

Why?

Have you legitimately never seen a social media account used for propaganda that just grabs a picture of an attractive women?

Because that's like the vast majority of their accounts...

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 year ago

Because that account - @ahed_tamimi15 - was tagged by accounts that collaborated with her (including her book's co-author)

Fake accounts used for propaganda are a dime a dozen - this is not that.

So if I receive message from steventhedev56, it is from you, right ?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

If I wrote in a comment that it belongs to me, that would certainly be a strong signal that it is, right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The Times of Israel has the professional level of a tabloid.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Not a great message, and I certainly don't support it. But I can see why someone would feel that way when Israel kicked them out of their land and tried to exterminate them. The whole situation builds contempt from both parties.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was summarized in the article as "called for the murder of settlers in the West Bank", which is better reporting. Less ragebait.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You clearly didn't read the article and read only the headline.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

I read the article, and it omits the contents of her message. Did you read it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Til that if a palestinian is arrested in cisjordania, they are judged by a military court.

Drinking blood, eating skulls. Just girly things.
