Agreed, as an Israeli Jew, them saying that Jews don’t work on Shabbat there shouldn’t be reports on the 7th, shows so much their lack of objectivity, ignorance and the will to connect random points together.

Do they think that the police in Israel don’t work on Saturday? Does the CIA stops working on sundays? If they tried to visit Tel Aviv on Saturday they would see how lovely it is.

This is not a speculation on the part of the whistleblowers or some unknown fact related to "Jews".

The data recorded shows this in figure 9, regardless of ones opinion on whether Israeli's take this holiday off or not.

This trend is consistent prior to Oct7, during the initial first couple of weeks of the conflict, and beyond. On Saturdays, there are zero to very few takedown requests related to other days.

But that makes sense, as the OP said, oct 7th was a huge terror attack that was live-streamed and shared throughout all social media. Hamas filmed themselves on Facebook live doing horrific acts, and people shared and cheered. So obviously there would be an uptick of takedown requests.

Do you have any trend correlating terror attack in Israel and takedown requests?

Yes starting from page 16 and 18, we dive exactly into what you ask. How takedown requests trend pre, during, and post October 7.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
