Israeli group claims it’s using back channels to censor “inflammatory” content

This should be looked at in light of the problems Israel faces. Israel is in serious danger of losing US support.[1][2] Outside of the US, there is very little support for what Israel is doing.[3] In the US, support is bought and paid for with political contributions. “If there was no lobby pushing Congress in a particular direction in a really forceful way, the position of the US Congress on the war in Gaza would be fundamentally different.”[4] The social media effort is only a small part of this.

It's not just social media... I think at this point, every newspaper I've read has more or less started saying that Israel is seriously screwing up, and there is especially unanimity in saying that Netanyahu needs to go.

I'm not going to try to enumerate Israel's mistakes, but when you decide to invite a coterie of journalists to the hospital you destroyed to provide proof of your claims that it was actually a hive center of terrorist activity, and all of them come away basically saying "this evidence isn't good enough," then that should be a sign that it's not PR that's the problem of Israel, it's Israeli actions that are the problem that needs addressing.

And on a personal level, I'm ashamed that my government is giving such unconditional support to a country that is acting in that manner.

Americans really have the strangest views of Israeli politics. Bibi is about as moderate as you will find electable and maintain a gov’t there. All the alternates are worse.

I predict Congress will invite Bibi to a joint session of Congress to bolster support and let him trash a sitting Democratic President just like they did to Obama.

Then Bibi can visit Elon again and address any Trump talking points to the enjoyment of alt-nazis on X.

Netanyahu is not electable. I mean, Israelis do not "elect" their Prime Minister, but still.

> I predict Congress will invite Bibi to a joint session of Congress to bolster support and let him trash a sitting Democratic President just like they did to Obama.

They'd be helping Biden's reelection chances.
