    The rise of Hananya Naftali, social media star and pro-Israel influencer

    “When you’re 22 and the prime minister offers you a job, you don’t say no,” Naftali told JNS.

    Involvement with Likud and Netanyahu
    When asked how he got involved with former prime minister and now Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud Party, Naftali credited his “chutzpah.”

    “By that time I had a few hundred thousand followers, so I literally messaged Benjamin Netanyahu’s adviser on Facebook one day. A few hours later he responded that they had thought about this idea themselves, and so it was funny that I had contacted them first,” he said.

    In 2017, Naftali met Netanyahu in Jerusalem and interviewed him.

    “It was a very short interview on how to defend Israel in the best possible way; I just wanted to get Netanyahu’s wisdom,” he said. “It was the first time I had met him, and months later they asked me to join his team. When you’re 22 and the prime minister offers you a job, you don’t say no. I guess they liked me. So, that’s how I got into this political world.”

    That has nothing to do with our statements and your incorrect claim that the NYT didn't ask Israel for their perspective. Anyway, let's move on from it.

    Headlines are limited in characters and designed to attract views, which can lead to incorrect conclusions if one doesn't take the time to read the full article. They are sensational and are often very problematic.

    As for labeling them as a shill for Hamas based solely on their headlines and imagery, using that thinking, one could also conclude that they are a shill for Democrats, Republicans, Trump, Biden, or anyone else when they use sensational headlines for clickbait. That doesn't make much sense, does it? Perhaps they are simply a shill for... their bottom line.

    I feel like I'm being gaslit that western news sources are biased against Israel instead of the direct opposite.

    Hamas has launced tens of thousands of missiles to Israel in last 30 years.

    And one of them failed that day and hit one of the biggest hospital in Gaza. Days after Israel issuing warnings to evacuate that hospital and explicitly threaten to hit it. What a coincidence, right?

    I just find it fascinating that everyone just believes at face value US and IDF intelligence.

    No? I wouldn't have believed either one if it wasn't for the impact zone photos.....the impact is less than a 1 meter hole....if it wasn't an air strike it cause a massive hole like that in Ukraine and Syria...I trust my eyes not the idf or dod

    When everything is so blatantly obvious and you still can't admit it, you're either a moron or a hypocrite.

    Yes all of this should be taken with a whole barrel of salt but at the moment the preponderance of evidence points to it not being an IDF strike.

    Well I just got called r***** bc apparently I was being dumb for being skeptical about idf/us intel on the bombing of the Gaza hospital.

    I find it wise now to just a few days for the story to flesh out before getting all hot and bothered since there's too much disinformation and propaganda

    I stopped arguing here with people. It's like arguing with BTG. There's gruesome videos to prove who did it and they use random twitter quotes. These idiots were saying it was a parking lot.

    Are you saying they are lying about what the Palestinians said?

    Weren’t people here parroting that humanitarian aid had been allowed only for biden to say he finally was able to get it in?

    this is the kind of **** Israel does that doesn’t make the US safer and turns this relationship into a parasitic one. Go defend and fight hammas as most of us support…don’t ****ing turn food electricity and water off to 2 million people. And somehow so many are brainwashed into thinking it’s ok.

    Russia has shown a million times more restraint for civilian life in dealing with Ukraine

    Bombing schools, hospitals, churches. Cutting down water and electricity of 2,5 millions of civilians. They all must be hamas propaganda.
