Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s a different way of saying “TikTok appoints Israeli as its Hate Speech Manager.” IDF service is mandatory.

Mandatory or not, a past committing genocide and being taught to see people of a certain nationality as inherently subhuman while going all in on DARVO gaslighting should still exclude you from being in charge of anything related to bigotry and hate speech.

I agree. Is that the case with this person?

I know a few ex-IDF soldiers. One served from 1967-69 in Records hunting down artwork stolen by the Nazis. Went on to become a professor who taught world literature. Left Israel in the 70s to live and work somewhere more multicultural. Still not someone I’d recommend for this position, but “ex-IDF” covers a lot of people, some of whom might be very qualified for the position.
