Standing Strong for Israel

If you were to look at my screen time statistics, you would probably think I am pathetic. More than four hours a day online. But that screen time is not spent watching videos or scrolling endlessly through social media.

It is spent defending Israel.

It is spent creating memes about Israel. Writing articles. Answering messages. Moderating discussions. Managing several online platforms connected to my foundation, Time To Stand Up For Israel.

Especially on LinkedIn.

LinkedIn remains the platform where I have built the largest audience, despite the fact that followers seem to disappear constantly. While managing the company page of Time To Stand Up For Israel, something interesting caught my attention.

First, let me explain why I moderate so actively.

Our Articles of Association clearly state that we safeguard the truth. If I knowingly allow antisemites, anti Zionists, or even people openly glorifying Nazi ideology to spread lies and hatred under our posts, then I would be violating the very principles upon which our foundation was built.

And allowing hate to flourish unchallenged is not neutrality. It is surrender.

While moderating these discussions on a daily basis, I noticed something peculiar. A very large percentage of the people posting hateful comments appeared to be seeking employment.

That observation made me curious.

Is there still hope for the world? Do companies actually refuse to tolerate hatred?

I found that difficult to believe because I have witnessed the opposite. I was frequently told to clean up my social media profiles before applying for jobs. Yet many of these individuals openly spread hatred while simultaneously looking for employment.

Do they simply have more free time and become obsessed with hating a people and a country?

I find that hard to imagine.

Are they less informed? Less critical?........
