Reap what you sow.

Considering the awful lengths I've seen Israeli lawyers, lobbyists and policy makers go to push the Israeli agenda, I'm more than happy to see the pendulum swing the other way, or have certain elements push a more pro-Palestinian agenda. Especially right now.

Don't like it? Create the rules of the game and then cry when they're used against you? Stick it.

so you support that some people who could be on iranian payroll (written that they also whitewash iran) will create altered version of reality that will influence millions of people ?

it's not about pendulum swinging, it's about state sponsored misinformation campaigns.

this kind of stuff essentially make wikipedia useless. probably you okay with it as long as "pendulum swings"

The irony-ometer is basically exploding right now.

And no. I'm not happy with any of it.

But there's an information war going on out there. And in that war Israel's hands are as bloody has anyone's.

And twice in that comment you put/suggested words into my mouth that I disagree with.

Let's get closer to home. Time for you to look at your own hands too.

interesting that you equate lobbyists to mass disinformation campaigns on wikipedia probably sponsored by iran.

and how exactly in information war israel's hands are as bloody as anyone ?

>And no. I'm not happy with any of it.

you literally wrote ", I'm more than happy to see the pendulum swing the other way, or have certain elements push a more pro-Palestinian agenda. "

i'll rephrase your initial comment a bit: "considering the awful lengths I've seen pharma lawyers, lobbyists and policy makers go to push the pharma agenda, I'm more than happy to see the pendulum swing the other way, or have certain elements push a more anti-vaccine agenda.". "the anti-vaccine agenda" been mainstreamed articles on vaccines on wikipedia that describe that it causes autism and other issues

It's not interesting at all.

I'm not Iranian, Jewish, Muslim, or Israeli. From an outsiders point of view, the collective efforts of Israeli lobbyists and the the Israeli mass disinformation campaign is far beyond anything I've seen come out of Iran. And if that's a bubble issue, then at the very least they're equal, because I can't think of any other nation beyond perhaps Russia and China who would instigate such a campaign.

Am I making that up? Ive personally experienced the campaign where we had pro-Israeli lawyers get involved over a ridiculously tiny art installation which was mildly pro-Palestinian - but in the hands of Israeli lawyers was "incredibly antisemitic, an affront to community relations and needed to be banned" ... (we ignored that, of course).

And when I said "I'm not happy with any of it", I was talking about the macro situation. Glad to clear that up for you as you seem susceptible to regular misinterpretation - but I'll accept the responsibility for that.

And your rephrasing was an absolute waste of your time, as is likely this. Sorry about that. Perhaps lets leave it there. Good day.

The names are a mystery but the name of the employer starts with Q..

The muslim brotherhood got to go..

There is no excuse to feel so strongly about an issue and then not read the relevant human rights reports. This sort of laziness is an intellectual vice.

The human rights reports qatar wrote itself, sitting with the usual suspects in the UN institutions desecrating the enlightenment to bully the dhimis, as is the natural order of the Islamic world ..
