Not Meloni, then?

This list might be non-exhaustive. Good point on Meloni, she's a bit of a special case. Turns out women can be evil, too!

Was there any doubt of that after Maxwell, Noem, Bondi? (Or, keeping with the same theme, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irma_Grese)

Actually - it's not Israeli influence. It's pro-Israel influence. Important difference. This includes lobby organisations funded or founded by wealthy Jews, conservative Christian lobbyists, pro-arms trade interests, and geopolitical interests (essentially Israel acts as a US military proxy they can use to keep the middle east in check). Not quite Israel secretly pulling strings (which is quite rightly dismissed as t…

Agree with your post. As a Jewish American, I have been advocating that it would be better for Americans and even Jews if we stop sending money to Israel and put political pressure on Israel to abandon illegal settlements, end the war on Gaza and work towards a resolution of the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Unfortunately, this POV doesn't seem to be widely held by many woth influence.

Illegal settlements are mostly pushed by radical jews from US. Israel does not really have money and people resources, for this endless war.

I don't think that's the case. There are five people in my office including myself. Three of them are Jewish. None of them ever have anything positive to say about Israel. The three Jewish people in my office certainly don't hate Jews.

Do you have any sources for this? I know a lot of Jews in the U.S. support Israel, but not sure why they would care about settlements if they don't live there.

And if what you say is true, why is Netanyahu still in power?

That said I don't think your point undermines my suggestion that the U.S. should get out of the business of funding Israel and joining it in any wars over there.

"Black Cube" - wonder what they're going for there. Maybe "Sinister Obelisk" was taken.

They wanted everyone to know they are the bad guys, just like Black Rock.

Black Rock Black Stone... Maybe even Black Dodecahedron someday

>> It's amazing to see the amount of hate towards Israel here. I guess part of it it's just plain old Jew hate in new cover

Hahaha. They're trying to influence European elections. You don't need to have any opinion about Jews to be upset about that.

Quick question: Could they also be manipulating this message board's voting?

Lol. If Israel could manipulate HN do you think so many anti-Israel posts would appear on the front page, and each mitigating or nuanced comment about Israel would be flagged so quickly? No, Israel does not control or manipulate HN.

I saw many new accounts doing brazen propaganda.

Vast majority of post critical of Israel get flagged as soon as they get enough traction

Practically everything of political attention gets flagged, even if it is tech related.

There may well be a pro-Israel brigade going out of their way to move that along, but there is an equally rapid anti-Israel brigade. Nothing remains on the front page for long.

It's insane the power and influence Israelis have. In the US it's blatant, from the insane amounts of money and weaponry sent to Israel (why are american taxpayers subsidizing Israel exactly? It's not like they are neither poor nor US owes them) to the recent events in the middle east. But even in Europe. Here in Italy the coalition government has multiple high profile politicians that just happen to be shareholders…

As a Jewish American, I don't think it's antisemitic. We really shouldn't be sending any money or weapons to Israel or joining them in any wars. What I do think is a bit antisemitic is the suggestion that Israel is somehow unique here. Russia, China, and the U.S. are all doing this. Heck we just captured Maduro and killed leader of Iran. I just think a country like Russia is way more effective and subtle when it come…

So, if I don't follow your what-about-ism, Im a racist? Thats what you are saying there; We all know that the US, china, Russia, and 99% of the countries in the world are doing this. Why is it racist to pick on the COUNTRY of Israel, which right now is trying its hardest to wipe out entire countries? We know Russia is doing that right now in Ukraine, but that does not eliminate what Israel is doing.

1945 and 2026 are though. The reasons people dislike Israel today is because of their actions over the past few years. But you know that, you just seek to distort and twist. It is not a conversation for you, it is an opportunity for hateful propaganda.
