Thread of "Ridiculously Photogenic Soldier" (Israeli soldier) by poster with no prior posting history makes it to front page. Seems to be the Israelis are on a PR offensive, hand in hand with their offensive in Gaza.

Its one thing that Reddit has been swarmed by biased users, but now you have accounts being created/used specifically for the purpose of posting pro-Israeli comments and media.

91 comments

This is classic hasbara propaganda :

1) Focus on one of two Jewish black guys in the car (to show they're not racist - when if he was a normal non-Zionist black dude he wont be there and would be deported, as they have done in the past with black people).

2) Have the rest of the IDF in the car look uninterested and "white" looking - to show that these Israelis look just like us Americans. They need pictures that the average American can relate to, and have us think "hey they look just like our soldiers back home".

Except that this is reddit, and the "average American" is elsewhere.

With the traffic we see on this site, we are probably a whole lot closer to average than you think.

The population is entirely self-selected

Jesus what rock do you live under?

Prove me wrong. Call a random phone number in any state and ask them if they're "a redditor."

Everyone I know looks at reddit, except for old people.

You mean to tell me that a person who hangs out in r/conspiracy knows other young contemporaries who look at reddit?

Incredible!

And you don't know older people who do so because the median age in the US is near 40. Meaning the average American most likely does not frequent this website.

Or you could not dodge my first question and give that random number a call. I'll even let you call a major metropolitan area to make it easier on you.

How about fuck off. I don't care about winning this internet argument.

Don't forget your ball.

you sad, little man.

You're also forgetting that anything that makes front page very shortly shows up on every social media site everywhere. Reddit is a good place to introduce stuff you want to circulate widely.

Also an IDF soldier doing an AMA.

Yes, I got about halfway through that AMA and thought, "And now aren't you just someone every one can relate too."

I think what piqued me was that several other IDF guys were a bit like, "What are you doing? Get back to guard duty! You're going to get in trouble for this."

And the AMA guy brushes it off with a, "I won't get caught."

Now why would an IDF soldier be so nonchalant about his superiors' responses after doing a spontaneous AMA? Unless ...

The "I won't get caught." line sounded pretty fishy to me.

Yeah man, Israel and the US are technological giants, and masters of spying on the internet. If they wanted too they would find out who it was.

Unless of course they know who he is because he works for them. He admittedly works for the IDF. He could also work for JIDF.

Why would a soldier be nonchalant about breaking a rule? Maybe because he's a practically a kid and performing his national service?

It's not like the world's military forces are stocked with the brightest minds.

It's not like the world's military forces are stocked with the brightest minds.

This is a sad fact. Most of the brightest Israeli children leave high school to enter a jail for refusing their mandatory military service due to their conscience.

Now that's a fuckin shame.

Bullshit. Prove it

Where does it say (as you said) that the majority of intelligent Israelis both refuse to serve in the military AND are sent to jail? In what you linked the number that refuse is incredibly small.

The best and the brightest are always a small group of any culture. What else can I think about people of principle who have the courage to face down their whole society in an effort to change it into a better place? What else can I call them but the best and the brightest?

I don't even know what to say to this. You can't objectively prove that these people are any better or any worse than anyone else. If what qualifies someone as the best and the brightest is the same as how you're categorizing them anyway really has no meaning. For example, in the us the best and the brightest are court martialed for being deserters, and if by my criteria the best and the brightest are deserters, then it really makes no sense or has any meaning.

I can absolutely prove that they are morally superior to the rest of their society. Or rather.. I can't prove it. They can and did.

Also a [J]IDF soldier doing an AMA.

FTFY

I don't get it. What's the J for? Seriously.

JIDF is the Zionist propaganda Internet army of paid shills.

huh.

Thanks!

Now? Always.

I absolutely love the comments. The entire planet has finally done something right in their hatred for Zionist Israel. No longer supporting the forced occupation and apartheid of Palestinian innocents.

I think hatred is a bit strong of a word. We should really try and stick to right and wrong. Let's leave the hatred for the extremists. It makes me nauseous and sick to stomach to hate things.

I absolutely despise them for their evil, inhuman actions against women and children with increasing regularity. They are scum.

thanks

If I had just eaten lunch, I may have just lost it. nearly 900 comments, I can only think of this

What a nice SS Officer & his cute pup...shit, colorize this picture & watch it rise to the top, ignorance, it may be the death of us.

Hilarious. So utterly stupid, "ok guys, we need to show the Israeli army is nice, gimme your best ideas"

Can't get why the one on /r/pics was ripped into, exposed, called out, but the one on /r/funny was a hit, didn't see one comment calling it out

[deleted]

We had that photo of the IDF guy knitting on the bus yesterday as well.

The IDF got a token black guy to make it seem like the Israeli government isn't racist?

Certainly not a coincidence. I had an interesting comment conversation with a shill, if anyone is interested I can do a screenshot of it. It is almost funny to me how afraid they are from the truth.

please do.

This guy is a good example how shills work, pretending to know it all. Claiming any other opinion crazy. This guy was clearly a newbie shill. I was pointing out that everyone should research on their own, and make decision on their own.

Watch the controversy threads, shills come in swarms to give the upvotes on what they want you to see, and to downvote what they do not want you to see. Convo Part 1 and Part2. I like to point and shame them.

[deleted]

You are probably in the comedy shill department. Cause you are funny as hell :)

[deleted]

You wrote 3 paragraphs and said nothing.

You really do not have any idea what I think and what I know, and how much research I have done.

And don't take it personally, but I sincerely do not care what you think. So what is the point of this? :)

[deleted]

This is so cute. Combine 10 words from different subjects and roll them into one sentence.

I didn't even look up your comment history, thats how little I care about your opinion. :)

But now that you mention it, I did check it, and you look like a genuine person. You have a lot of comments of saying nothing tho. Maybe it's time you stand up for something? I'm not sure why do you insist writing nonsense here.

They can't possibly ever support the unsupportable position, so they simply distract and waste time. A massive waste of resources, however they dont care.

The world has finally turned on the evils of the illegitimate state of Israel. Its a beautiful thing to finally see these worthless scum to get what they deserve.o

Almost always after /r/conspiritard is used as a rally point to.bring all of the shills to the party. All 1-4 of them, with dozens of shared accounts amongst them.

You realize that conversation does nothing to show that the person was a shill, and it makes you look kind of bad by throwing out the accusation so quickly based on him defending vaccines.

I've defended vaccines before, does that automatically make me a shill?

I just realized today, why would Hamas break a cease fire. I haven't seen any evidence showing this actually happened before the ground invasion. What if Israel staged a rocket lunch from hams to give legitimize their invasion?

Thank you. I think Hamas is just a controlled fake opposition used to further an agenda. Ron Paul: Israel created Hamas

Israel did heavily fund Hamas decades ago before it became so extreme as a counter to the secular PLO.

Literally just true and not a theory.

Ironic, since Ron Paul is the same but for Democrata/Republicans.

wat?

Ron Paul is just another lying corporate puppet like Warren or Obama.

Uhhh. No. Evidence or get the fuck out

Uhhh. Yes. Stop believing in the bullshit politicians tell you.

ron paul is the real deal and tried to warn us of the happening

He's a distraction.

how? he is the only one not distracting us from the happening

Haha.. I know the guy personally you sack of wine, and I'll tell you he has nothing to do with the shenanigans that go on in D.C.

Look up his record and show me evidence of him doing anything but voting pure principle. Ron Paul is the real deal. Rand, maybe not so much.

Have a good afternoon.

So? If his only purpose is to distract and absorb votes, it doesn't matter what he says or how he votes.

Your hair is a bird. Your argument is irrelevant.

It looks less bad if you just never reply. Coming back two months later with that reply indicates you were so shaken that this was the best you could come up with.

Haha you're fun

What if Israel staged a rocket lunch from hams to give legitimize their invasion?

This is what I've been saying all along. There is no way that anybody who is working for Hamas would be firing those piece of shit rockets that do zero damage in the face of the overwhelming retaliation that must surely follow.

I would believe Hamas was legit if those shitrockets were tipped with chemical or biological weapons. I mean any shitty system can be used to deliver stuff like that. But it isn't. And Hamas if it were real would have the connections to get their hands on some shit like that. But they don't.

This whole thing is a fucking boondoggle but good luck getting the rest of the world to understand that. Most people think in this really linear single tiered fashion. They can only deal with one concept at a time which must flow into the next concept and the next. It's easy to get people like that going around in circles in their mind until they get fed up and go get a cheeseburger.

This wouldn't be the first time this has been PROVEN.

You mean the first time the existen of a controlled fake opposition is proven? Or the example of Hamas/Israel?

They always seem to do this at the worst possible time.

This thread has been linked to from elsewhere on reddit.

If you follow any of the above links, respect the rules of reddit and don't vote or comment. Questions? Abuse? Message me here.

I'm pretty sure this is considered vote brigading... OP might want to slap an np prefix on that link.

You know, just in case the goyim see through the MH17 misdirection story.

9 month old account, 3 posts total: one comment and the pic twice (again after the first had bombed).

Seems to be one of those 'create and sell' accounts - the age gives it some slight legitimacy.

Saw that a couple of top comment accusing the post of being propaganda. good on them.

Is that black face?

Please use NP links, I forgot I clicked through and started voting. Not looking to get shadowbanned.

What is the Yiddish term? Dagu? They certainly don't mind when they join the murderers league. Just as long as they don't try to join the faith, rock on and kill Palestinian rock throwing civilians. Israel is an illegitimate state.

seems to go both ways... makes me wonder of Reddit has become a sewage of disinformation... what a tragedy...

I went through a number of the MSM websites, infowars etc... in terms of how many articles are on their sites right now about the malaysian airlines flight vs the israeli invasion in gaza.

Some highlights: Msnbc.com has zero articles at 8am est when I did the research on the invasion in gaza, and hundreds about the plane.

CNN has hundreds about the plane, 2 at 8am about the invasion of gaza, the first article was at 11pm est 7/17, nearly 10hours after it started.

Fox news had about 2 articles on the front page about the invasion and of course dozens about the plane.

Cbsnews as well, 1 article about the invasion at 3am est on 7/18, and hundreds about the plane.

Reuters, bbc have about the same ratio, 2-3articles about the invasion, and hundreds about the plane.

Infowars not surprising has only 2 articles about the invasion in gaza and 14 articles about the plane shot down.

For what it's worth, CNN was all over the invasion most of last night.

why did you include a link to a link though?

Which beautifully we all do. Fuck Zionist controlled Israel. Fuck these murderers of innocent and women and children. Fuck their forced occupation.

So that people can see the whole thread, click on the username and verify the facts themselves? If i link directly to the link (the pic), this thread would be meaningless.

So was the "ridiculously photogenic Syrian Rebel" last year also a propaganda campaign?

Of course it was! Don't you realize that everything that gets posted on here is automatically 100% verified conspiracy!

If people keep accusing Conspiracy of this, maybe one day it will be true!

Keep trying guys, never lose hope!

Don't waste time with the blatant shills. Worthless.
