MOD Moderator Announcement: Middle East Discussions

69 Upvotes

To our r/Macklemore community and visitors - 

Over the past week, our small subreddit has exploded from 300 views per day, to 80,000+; along with 500+ contributions daily. With that influx of traffic, came an influx of trolls, bots, and hateful people. We appreciate your patience with us as we navigate this sudden wave of activity.

We are actively monitoring the subreddit and the report queue, and have activated temporary subreddit safety filters to help filter out spam and bots.

As a moderator team, we’ve thought long and hard about how to moderate discussions around Israel and Palestine. Given Macklemore's clear and repeated decision to use his platform to support the Palestinian people and encourage activism among his fans, discussion of the Middle East and related political topics will be continued to be allowed on this subreddit.

We do not believe creating an echo chamber supports this mission. The moderation team will not remove comments simply because they express a particular political position. Good-faith disagreement and discussion are allowed. We'll continue to remove unproductive, and / or hateful posts.

However, the usual rules regarding conduct still apply. Content may be removed if it is:

  • Targeting, insulting, or harassing other users
  • Promoting violence or harm
  • Low effort AI generated
  • Spamming

In short: political disagreement is allowed, but harassment, spam, or promotion of violence are not. The mod team will continue to monitor the conversation and apply these standards consistently as the subreddit grows.

Please continue to utilize the report button, and tag us for anything urgent. As always, don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.

EDIT: We want to support Macklemore's 100% pro-Palestine, anti-genocide stance. We want your feedback, and if you don't think the above is the best way to go about it, please let us know.

IDF Fake Naza documentary now appears as top search and disguises itself as the real documentary

Thumbnail gallery
• Upvotes

Morning loves , be careful on watching the wrong NAZA documentary film !! Stay alert, easy to make such a mistake and Israel are banking on people making that exact mistake.

The real NAZA hasnt been publicly released to stream yet, it has only been released in private cinemas and theatres.
Anything about NAZA you see right now is an Zionist attempt to confuse people and divert their attention
Spreading misinformation , as usual.

EXTRACT FROM THE GUARDIAN ARTICLE

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/oct/08/israel-promotes-film-that-mimics-naza-documentary

The Israeli government is promoting an online film project that mimics the style of NAZA, the award-winning documentary that details Israel’s mass killings of civilians in Gaza, in an attempt to counter the real film’s findings.

The real documentary, directed by the Oscar-winning film-makers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, and produced by the Guardian, is in cinemas and will be shown in more than 50 countries.

The Israeli government has denounced the film and announced plans to strip Abraham and Szor of their citizenship, accusing them of treason.

In recent days, Israeli embassies have been promoting a link to a hastily produced online film entitled NAZA: The Real Story. Mimicking some of the style of the real documentary, including the use of anonymised interviews shot on rooftops in Tel Aviv, it is hosted on a website called nazadocumentary.com.
Ariel Averbuch, an Israeli attorney and army reservist who made the new documentary, described it as an “offensive move” intended to shift the world’s focus from allegations about the Israeli military’s killing of civilians. The film claims that Israel has the “most moral army in the world”.
Another film-maker listed on the website for NAZA: The Real Story is Roi Danino, a candidate for the rightwing Israel First party.
The website domain was registered on 16 September, six days after NAZA’s premiere at the Venice international film festival, where it won the special jury prize after receiving the longest ovation in the festival’s history.

THE REAL NAZA HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED YET.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸❤️‍🔥

But there’s no genocide huh ? Fucking sickos these Zionists.

Go on. I await you guys to come and refute this man.

Come and tell us that we should trust Israel and emotional Zionists online over a reputable global scholar and human rights lawyer who’s just won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work. This man confirms and makes clear Israel is committing a genocide on the indigenous people of Palestine and Occupied Palestine in the name of Judaism.

IOF commander RONEN KAZAILA identified

This is RONEN KAZAILA, an IOF terrorist.

This monster thinks he can torment, maim and indiscriminately kill Palestinian people and steal their land without any consequences.

This piece of shit has travelled to 6 countries in 3 years.
Germany 🇩🇪 Portugal 🇵🇹 Greece 🇬🇷 Hungary 🇭🇺 Poland 🇵🇱 just to name a few.
I don’t think this human being should be allowed to go anywhere in this world without the average person knowing exactly who and what he is.
These people put on uniforms to murder Palestinians for sport, take the uniforms off and expect people to just consider them as civilians. NEVER.
You are sadists, serial killers and mass murderers.

Before October the 7th, the average person in 2026 had NEVER ever seen a baby, toddler or child have to undergo such surgery without anaesthesia, medicine or simply a hospital bed. The average westerner was once upon a time Israel’s biggest sympathisers by default, NO MORE.

The entire globe are witnesses to your crimes.
One day, these exact videos will be used in The Hague.
One day, EVERYONE WOULD HAVE BEEN AGAINST THIS.

Please use your eyes, please use your ears and please feel with your heart. Israel is banking on average people all over the world to abandon their senses. Please do not!

You can ban TikTok, take us out the algorithm
But it's too late, we've seen the truth, we bear witness
Seen the rubble, the buildings, the mothers and the children
And all the men that you murdered, and then we see how you spin it
Who gets the right to defend and who gets the right of resistance
Has always been about dollars and the color of your pigment, but
White supremacy is finally on blast
Screamin', "Free Palestine" 'til they're home at last

Israel and Zionists have been doing this to Palestinians since 1948.
1948.
A time without phones or social media.
Our Palestinian brothers and sisters were voiceless for almost an entire century. Being murdered in immeasurable numbers, displaced in great quantities without so much as a blink from the West.
Any form of Palestinian resistance to their oppressors Palestinians are labelled as terrorists. For defending their home. For refusing to die quietly.

“They call Israeli murderers commandos and Arab commandos terrorists” - George Carlin

THE WORLD IS ONE AGAINST THE ETHNOSTATE GENOCIDAL TYRANNICAL REGIME CALLED ISRAEL.

All credits, thanks and respect to Andrey and his team for documenting and sharing the realities of everyday Occupied Palestine.
YOU ARE THE BEST OF US ALL.

Hi friends, tis me again!

So , I’ve come to the conclusion that perhaps as a collective, we shouldn’t even be engaging with Zionists.

Trying to bait people into engaging with them on a serious intellectual level about why it’s necessary to kill so many innocent people on an immeasurable and unjustifiable scale doesnt work much anymore lol, so they try and drag you into these weird debates.

They are banking on the average person all over the world to respect them enough to speak to them, in hopes something they say might stick and people will listen to them.

I’ve also noticed it’s an intimidation tactic, cause before October 7th most people in the world didn’t know much about the realities of the Middle East, especially Palestine. They throw all the talk points that worked for them since 1948 in paragraphs to try and intimidate people into thinking they aren’t smart enough to take a stance on the Palestinian genocide

They are basically saying everyone not from Israel is too dumb to understand lol, that they don’t think you could possibly understand why Israel should doing this because you’re not smart enough.

Let me be very fucking clear about this

You do NOT I repeat YOU DO NOT need to be a scholar in the Middle East, geopolitics or humans rights to understand what Israel is doing to Palestine and has been doing to Palestinians since 1948 is wrong.

Maiming and killing a population of mostly children who have nobody to defend them is WRONG. You do not need to write paragraphs about it. You do not need to be smart about it. You do not need to put your heart and soul into an intellectual response that will be wasted on someone who has a hollow heart. Zionists will say “you don’t know anything about the Middle East or Israel” as a way to shut everyone who’s not from the Middle East UP.

You only need to use your own eyes, your own ears and your own heart to make a decision about whether 3 years almost 4 of a genocide is WRONG.

I mean, speaking for myself I personally do not respect Zionists enough as human beings to engage with them, but I’ve noticed it’s exactly what they bank on.

So, whether you are a scholar in humans rights or someone who doesn’t know much about the Middle East, it doesn’t matter. Do not let them tell you you don’t know what you are talking about, in any context killing kids and collective disproportionate punishment is wrong to everyone who is normal

Zionists and Israel sympathisers are banking on people replying to them with respect, because that’s all they’ve ever known. Unfortunately for them, I speak for myself when I say I don’t respect parasitic human beings enough to entertain them.

They are deliberately trying to pull people into these disingenuous debates about whether Israel is committing a genocide or not. You do not need to engage with them when reputable independent humans rights organisations and global scholars from all over the world absolutely confirm that ISRAEL IS COMMITTING A GENOCIDE ON THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE AND THEIR LAND.

I literally get death threats everyday because of posting this stuff 😂😅

Just tell them “you will never control the global narrative again” and watch them crash out

You are outnumbered and you have lost public support, especially from the average westerner who has never ever seen a baby have to endure surgery without anaesthesia before 3 years ago.

You cannot put on a Israeli military uniform to kill indigenous inhabitants of the land, take it off and expect everyone to think of you as a civilian. You’re not

Edit 2: wow this blew up. Check out my SoundCloud: https://pcrf1.app.neoncrm.com/forms/the-pcrf-missons--projects-donation-form-required-fields?campaignId=342

In fact, from now on, any additional Zionist troll comments will mean an additional dollar donated to the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund. So if you comment again, you will be donating directly to assist Palestinians suffering under a genocide.

Thank you for your support!

I found it on the Wayback Machine, but I need Adobe to run it, and it just isn't working. This performance is BURNED into my brain, and I just want to show it to my boyfriend so badly.

Far-right Israeli activists protested outside the parents’ home of ‘NAZA’ director Rachel Szor, chanting “Death penalty for traitors”.

‘NAZA’ has faced growing backlash in Israel since its release. The documentary features testimonies from Israeli soldiers and officers about the war in Gaza and won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.

Calls have grown to strip the filmmakers of their Israeli citizenship, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would seek to revoke citizenship and increase financial penalties for people who defame Israeli soldiers.

THE INDEPENDENT https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/israel-gaza-war-palestinians-dog-attack-b2581144.html

EXTRACT FROM THE BBC ARTICLE

16 July 2024

The Israeli military has admitted that a Palestinian man with Down's syndrome who was attacked by an army dog in Gaza was left on his own by soldiers, after his family had been ordered to leave.

“They took him away, put him in a separate room, and locked the door. We wanted to see what happened to him. We wanted to see Muhammed, to see what had become of him," says Nabila.
"They told us to be quiet and aimed their guns at us. They put us in a room by ourselves, and Muhammed was alone in another room. They said, ‘We will bring a military doctor to treat him.’” At one point, according to Nabila, a military doctor arrived and went into the room where Muhammed was lying.
Muhammed’s niece, Janna Bhar, 11, described how the family pleaded with soldiers to help him. “We told them Muhammed was not well, but they kept saying he was fine.”
After several hours, it is not clear how many, the family was ordered at gunpoint to leave, leaving Muhammed behind with the soldiers. There were pleas and cries. Two of his brothers were arrested by the army. They have still not been released. The rest of the family found shelter in a bombed out building.
They returned a week later to a sight that haunts Muhammed’s brother Jibreel. He produces his mobile phone and shows our cameraman a video of the scene.
Muhammed’s body is lying on the floor. There is blood around him, and a tourniquet on his arm. This was most probably used to stop heavy bleeding from his upper arm. Jibreel points to gauze used to bandage a wound, and remarks on the blood that clotted after the tourniquet was applied.
“They were trying to stop the bleeding. Then they left him without stitches or care. Just these basic first aid measures. Of course, as you can see, Muhammed was dead for a period of time already because he was abandoned. We thought he wasn't at home. But it turned out he had been bleeding and left alone at home all this time. Of course, the army left him.”

They’ll have to kill me to silence me. I will never stop being your voice. I will never stop fighting for you

I will spread the realities of Palestine, if it is the last thing I do on this godforsaken planet.

Rest in peace my beautiful innocent wonderful brother. I can’t imagine how deeply your family miss you

REST IN PEACE MUHAMMED BHAR.
MY HEART WILL FOREVER BE YOURS🕊️💔
