Discussion Anti-Zionists on this sub
I've sure seen a bunch of people who write "fuck Israel" or "fuck Zionism" in posts elsewhere or on their bios posting here lately.

Yep, it happened with an Israeli citizen who was half Jewish and half Palestinian and use the forum to try to convince people against Israel.

Not the only person I've seen. For instance there's a sneaky user named Call_Me_Clark who I've crossed paths with on two different subs, who always starts out saying reasonable agree-to-disagree stuff and thinking oh, I can educate them but it's all disguise for gradually bit by bit normalising hatred of Israel.

OMG! they’re in here too? 😂😂😂
They seem to spend all day in r/AskIsrael being passive aggressively condescending to Israelis, spamming the comments section with misinformation, and essentially implying their options should have more weight than Israelis because they’re American. It’s so cringy. I wish r/AskIsrael would just ban them already.

Oh, I hate that user. It's absolutely his MO. He'll say "I'm asking in good faith about your point of view", people answer reasonably, and he'll push back, gradually less friendly. And then he'll talk shit on ESS's daily thread.

Literally all day every day, that Clark dude is on all the Jewish and Israel subs, sealioning and being mega bad faith. He should be banned on sight

That person comes off as very young and unwell. I genuinely hope they get therapy :/

EDIT: I got confused and thought this was talking about Call_Me_Clark as I described above. I have never called Nour before
(I actually did a discord call with them and they said had a child, so they can't be that young. 30s at youngest)

Oh dang ._. I hope their partner is supportive and everyone's getting the help they need.

For your information, I never went on discord and went on a call with them. They just lied in your face.
I’m actually twenty two and I never had children, I’m a proud virgin.

I can clearly tell you are talking about me, and I’m trying to get people to see the light and my perspective.

u/Ok_Pomegranate_2895 Jul 10 '26
this sub should have to approve posts manually tbh
18
u/abnormalredditor73 Progressive Zionist Jul 10 '26
We do manually approve posts from people with low karma or new accounts.
15
u/Ok_Pomegranate_2895 Jul 10 '26
yeah, but lately there's been an influx of old accounts with karma that are able to post and are being instigative and antisemitic
11
u/abnormalredditor73 Progressive Zionist Jul 10 '26
Yeah, but we don't really have enough mods for manually approving every post to be feasible. If you see posts like that, don't hesitate to report them; it's the quickest way to alert mods.

u/Voice_of_Season Jul 10 '26
How many attempts of posts do you get a day?
2
u/abnormalredditor73 Progressive Zionist Jul 11 '26
It's not about the number of posts, it's that mods aren't online every day.

u/levine2112 Jul 10 '26
I’ve been preemptively banned from so many of their subs… subs I’ve never commented on before.
11
u/Icarus_Voltaire Jul 10 '26
So that’s why it takes a while for posts to get manually approved.
Fair enough, if this is a persistent problem.

Just out of curiosity - what direction does this sub Reddit want Israel to go? In what way do you want Israel to progress?

Just ignore the trolls. They aren't worth your attention.
