> Criticizing Israel is the like the "Anti Social Social Club" t-shirt of our time

Nice bit of deflection. It’s not even true, either. People are being blacklisted from companies for speaking out against Israel, their faces being paraded through streets with threats made against them. Speaking out against Israel comes with significant risk, particularly for politicians and journalists - the proof is in the pudding, when you look at their insanely soft-balled coverage of anything Israel does. Anyway…

> A political organization or world government is astroturfing on social media you say? And they're targeting lawmakers directly? Well, clutch my pearls!

Sure, if it was Russia or China I wouldn’t be surprised. But it’s Israel. The US gives Israel $1,000,000,000s and $1,000,000,000s of dollars per year and is supposedly Israel’s closest “ally”. _That_ is what makes this interesting.

I don’t really know why I’m bothering replying to you, given your incredibly thinly veiled bias. But here I am nonetheless.



> given your incredibly thinly veiled bias

This troll is hungry. I forget the name of the playbook, but it’s so obvious it’s painful
