Helped? As in, they’re not doing it anymore? Color me skeptical. But I’m going to read the article now.
edit: Ok it’s about the specific latest waves of videos justifying the attack on Iran. As if Israel hasn’t been engaging in Russian-style disinformation for decades. With the help of big G and others.
In clear breach of Google’s policies, these ads justify and lionize the attack as a necessary defense of Western civilization, and claim that Israel is carrying out “one of the largest humanitarian missions in the world” in Gaza.
That’s so diametrically opposed to the truth, it’s cynical. I hope Google gets what it deserves for allowing that. Not to speak of Israel.
“Iran’s ballistic missile program isn’t just a threat to Israel, it is a threat to Europe and the Western world,” another, seen by 1.5 million viewers in just three weeks, claims. “Iran is developing missiles with ranges of approximately 4000 km. That places Europe within the regime’s striking distance,” it adds, as graphics show virtually the entire continent turning blood red, signifying a nuclear attack. “This isn’t tomorrow’s threat. It is today’s reality. The threat posed by the Iranian regime must be stopped. Israel does what must be done.”
And this is so vastly exaggerated, it’s fearmongering. It’s “Iraq has weapons of mass destruction” all over again. And even if, why would they want to attack Europe? It makes no sense. We’re not the enemy.
Google does try to feed me news from “The Times of Israel”, quite often, which is really odd. Usually I only get shown valid local news, occasionally stuff from America too.
And… The Times of Israel, I guess?
The corporate algorithms are not on the side of the Palestinians.
Keep in mind this is an extremely shit source, they are basically a lite version of tankies.
Try searching for “Russia” on their site and you’ll find a 1:1 copy of standard russian propaganda copytext (justification for the invasion of Ukraine, claiming Ukraine organized a genocide in Donbas, white washing russian crimes).
If they can’t be consistent, it is likely their concern Gaza about is a ruse, as is extremely common among western “leftists”.
And the roaches that manage this site likely don’t speak Ukrainian or russian and have never lived in Ukraine or russia.
despite the source though, google has been providing services for israel to enforce apartheid
That likely is true, but you don’t want to use a source that is definitely compromised.
Is this an article about Technology?
Yes
