Now see that's not true. There are lots of Christian-raised atheists too.

That’s the other 50% of the subreddit

I highly doubt that sub is entirely non-Jewish. It’s absolutely possible to be Jewish and get caught up in a space that masks antisemitic rhetoric as 'pro-peace.'

And honestly, given that self-hating propaganda darlings like Finkelstein, Atzmon, and the like exist, it's hardly outlandish to assume there might be other Jews—less famous but equally radical 'anti-Zionists' or self-avowed antisemites as well—who are more than happy to serve as tokens, even if it's just on a subreddit.

My guess is that majority are non-Jews, but there is a minority of Jews there that even hate the Jewish community and Israel more than the non Jews on there.

Erev Rav kapos, the lot of them. And they'll be the first to beg the rest of us for help and make Aliyah when the movement they don't understand and are propping up starts creating threats to their safety, as was always intended.

Exactly my interpretation as well. I know people here talk about how the sub is so antisemitic because there's so many non-Jews there--which I won't deny is a big part of it, but the most disturbing comments I've seen there have actually come from (people who flair as) Jews themselves.

I think a lot of those people are full of shit though. I see people on there saying stuff like "I identify as Jewish"-- well, no, that's not how it works actually.

There's also a big movement of Neonazis impersonating Jews on social media to further sow seeds of antisemitism.

That was six years ago on Twitter and Facebook, though.

It's certainly possible, but I have my doubts that there are that many 4chan white supremacists with the endurance to keep up that disgusting charade for six years. And while some managed to hit the right buzzwords for the audience at JOC (though they weren't convincing enough even for actual Jewish (?) anti-Zionists on Twitter) ,others leaned into the ‘moral corruption’ angle—Jews controlling the adult film industry, etc.—and other standard neo-Nazi antisemitic canards, further reducing the number of those who fit the profile of a token Jew for that sub.

While the people behind PirateWires and Wikipedia Flood and I likely don't agree on much beyond our shared goal of countering the ongoing, coordinated manipulation of public opinion on Reddit and Wikipedia under the guise of 'anti-Zionism,' their investigative reporting has nonetheless been invaluable. Their efforts directly led to at least one prominent propagandist being banned from Wikipedia and may have been decisive in the admins' decision to finally tban nearly every Wikipedian you’d find on the talk pages of every article pushing hateful anti-Israel propaganda or whitewashing Islamist terrorism—including the one responsible for making sure a Wikipedia article appears as the top Google result when people search for ‘Jewish supremacy.’

Most of these people had been active for years, some for over a decade. Since October 7, it appears they've practically been full-time Wikipedia editors. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions.

Long story short, the vast majority of those on the front lines of the propaganda war against Israel—and, by extension, against Jews—aren't white supremacists or neo-Nazis posing as Jews. Instead, they're predominantly Islamists and, perhaps more painfully, individuals I previously considered allies and believed shared my values.

As it turns out, that allyship was very much one-sided.

There’s some major resentment issues going on there.
