The Lebanon subreddit might as well be a zionist propaganda reddit.

I got permabanned from reddit because I said to a zionist who accused all Lebanese of blaming all their problems on Israel 'no, we just blame Israel for what it deserves blame for' and apparently that constituted a call to violence against a marginalized group.

Meanwhile the amount of genocide justification and thinly veiled threats of genocide almost always go unpunished. Stuff like saying that no one in the world cares for Lebanon except its cuisine and landscape (implying the people can disappear and nothing will be lost) or telling people not to worry about future problems, implying that they will soon entirely annhiliate Lebanon.

This isn't even just it. Anyone calling out the sheer amount of propagandists or showing how real the Hasbara program is (look it up) will get their posts removed. Even the Syria subreddit is packed with low-effort videos and anti-Lebanese propaganda. For example: Any show of what appears to be crowds of people celebrating is attributed to Syrians celebrating the death of Nasrallah, and any violence happening is automatically attributed to Hezbollah Lebanese (or even Lebanese in general) just attacking Syrians for nothing.

Those videos show no indication of who the people are or what they are doing, and that is how you know it is fake. They also keep making huge claims of Hezbollah conducting massive bombing operations in Syria against random civilians when there is not the slightest shred of evidence to support that, not even news articles or reports from Israeli sources. Just show a bunch of amublance workers and then claim it is a Hezbollah bombing.

It is as depressing as it is disgusting.

Ohh I am well aware of these clowns lol

I did my part prior to existing reddit. So this checks out.

Zionist support among mods is also super strong it is ducking weird... But if you look at media and entertainment, it checks out.

Fedi is one of the few people where people are having these discussions in ernest, this discussion can't had much else where

Yeah. I got back on reddit with an alternate account and a VPN, the month I spent off kinda cooled down my appetite for that place. I still get a lot of news from it, so technically I don't need to post as much but... fuck me, I hated zionists before and right now I cannot describe my loathing for those people.

Seeing genocide real time with 100% backed by your government (presume US here tbh) will trigger a taxpayer....

Israel was able to fly under the rader but since oct7, many people really started to learn to what actually happened. and no amount of propaganda can fix that.

me and my homies hate israel... it is an abomination.
