Fediverse vs Disinformation

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.

Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.

What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.

By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that a heroic Jewish bystander saved Jewish lives during the Bondi Beach massacre by tackling one of the gunmen. In fact, the man who made the heroic intervention is a Muslim of Levantine descent who was shot twice in the process.

Ahmed El Ahmed, from Idlib in Syria according to a relative, went up unarmed against one of the attackers, wrested his gun away and turned it on the terrorist, forcing him to flee, as footage shown by Al Jazeera demonstrates...

Nazism was about reclaiming the German homeland (and genocide).

Zionism is about genociding Palestinians (and reclaiming “homeland”).

They are the same thing.

And no, don’t you fucking dare pretend all Jewish people are Zionist scum. You do not get to frame this as antisemitism, when it is not.

Zionists love conflating jewish people and zionists so that any anti-zionist message seems anti-semitic

And it has the added bonus of convincing people that those annoying Jews who keep protesting them aren't really Jewish

Including the anti-zionist holocaust survivors

I can't believe how fucking stupid people are.

Like. It works. How fucking braindead do you have to be to not be able to tell the difference between a religion/ethnicity and a country?

you’re arguing that jewish people are inherently genocidal

I mean, the bible pretty much backs up the fact that the Jewish people are inherently genocidal.

The Midianites - Moses orders his army to kill every Midianite man, woman and boy... the virgin girls are spared so that the soldiers can have their ways with them. Numbers 31:1–18
The Amorites - Their king didn't allow the Israelites to cross his land to attack the Canaanites, so they killed the king and then killed all of his people: men, women and children. Deuteronomy 2:32-34
Bashan - Then the king of Bashan did the same thing the king of the Amorites did... and he and his people met the same fate. Deuteronomy 3:1–6
Jericho - The people of Jericho weren't the only ones killed. The Israelites killed every man, woman, child, ox, sheep and donkeys. Joshua 6:21
Ai - After killing all of the men on the battlefield the Israelites went into the city and killed everyone who lived there. Joshua 8:24–26
Makkedah - "He struck it... he left no survivor." Joshua 10:28
Libnah - "He left no survivor in it." Joshua 10:30
Lachish - "Struck it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it." Joshua 10:32
Eglon - "killed every person in it" and "left no survivor." (Joshua 10:34–39)
Hebron - "killed every person in it" and "left no survivor." (Joshua 10:34–39)
Debir - "killed every person in it" and "left no survivor." (Joshua 10:34–39)
All Northern Cities of Canaan - The Israelites defeated a coalition of northern cities, then captured those cities... "and they did not leave any who breathed." Joshua 11:10–15
The Amalekites - This is a good one... during the Exodus the Amalekites attacked the Israelites. So, 400 years later King Saul killed every "man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey." 1 Samuel 15:1–33

Even their own history books don't just say that they're predisposed to genocide, they celebrate it.

Your second paragraph is the problem.
