If this is true, it’s despicable. However, I’ve learned not to take anyone’s word on the internet for any politically charged topic. If there is any half-credible source that corroborates the real estate auction, I’d greatly appreciate a link. I’ll search as well.

A few US outlets have mentioned it fleetingly, but here's a more balanced account from Haaretz.
Here is a flyer circulated by the protest organizers:
Here is a flyer advertizing the real estate sale itself:
Here is an archived copy of the real estate sale web page (which is currently unavailable):

Here is a listing for property in Efrat, which is an illegal Israeli settlement located in the West Bank:

All the best Anglo neighborhoods‽‽‽ Sounds antisemitic to me....
I’m not the only one who uses the interrobang‽
I tried that once, got thrown off the police force
(Jk lol the union protected me 💪)
Same here! It also helps to threaten your victims with further violence and reminding them you know where they live and can look up who their family is lol being a cop is so silly!!
What‽‽
Interesting that an Israeli newspaper provides a more balanced report than US outlets… how did that happen?
"Salman Schocken, a Jewish businessman who left Germany in 1934 after the Nazis had come to power, bought the paper in December 1935. Schocken was active in Brit Shalom, also known as the Jewish–Palestinian Peace Alliance, a body supporting co-existence between Jews and Arabs which was sympathetic to a homeland for both peoples. His son, Gershom Schocken, became the chief editor in 1939 and held that position until his death in 1990." From the English a language Wikipedia article on Haaretz.
The Schocken family continues to own 75% of the paper's stocks, hence the position.
a lot of Israelis are very much against what has been happening in Palestine…
(also why “zionist” is a bad word to call pro-genocidal people)

Shit at this point I wouldn't be surprised to find out the pro Israel protestors did all of the violence and the headlines are still blaming the Pro Palestinian side. The major news outlets always back Israel until hard evidence from a third party shows up.
And yup. Everyone is doing it again.
It’s buried halfway down this article, but here are more details:
The protest stemmed from an Israel real estate event on Sunday at the Adas Torah synagogue, according to the synagogue’s security director and social media posts from organizers.
The event at the synagogue was organized by My Israel Home, a firm that markets real estate in Israel and West Bank settlements and was advertising on social media. CNN has reached out to My Israel Home for comment.
Especially in this conflict. There is more fake news going around, pushed by both pro palestinian and pro israel sides, than real news.
Let's ignore all the evidence and everything else that has happened so far, and give this the benefit of the doubt that only helps Israel and it's genocide. I guess once the water gets muddy enough, we'll stop seeing it as water.
Ubiquitous acceptance of anecdotal evidence from a blue check mark twitter handle is just going to morph lemmy into /r/conspiracy and I hate /r/conspiracy. If you believe that going by feels is adequate, I have a Jewish space laser to sell you.
Rarely do I become incensed by anything on the internet, but willfully discouraging yourself and others from ascertaining the reality of a situation is cancerous. I urge you, and anyone else reading this, to verify information, always. We live in an age where adequate comprehension involves adequate corroborative research and denying adequate research is akin to denying reality.
Now, that said, synagogue had it coming if the agency’s selling pillaged Palestinian land. I’ve been attempting to access their website for 2 days but they seem disinterested in updating their certificate. Likely due to bad press. If you can somehow verify that this map hosted real listings in the West Bank, that’d go far in legitimizing your anger. Suggesting that [internet person says thing] is enough does not.
Also, thank you for noticing my username c:

Its a fucken shame Israel is giving credence to the "Jyoos control everything" conspiracy. Look at this fucken reach Isreal has in America. But Israel isn't the Jewish People. No matter how bad they want us to think that.
Looked this one up on WaPo as I'm a subscriber. The comment section was filled with people accusing the Post of being pro-Hamas
Never look at comments below news articles.
No, always look. It's like going to the zoo.
As an American, it feels more like looking around in your cage.
Too real
WaPo is one of the worst media outlets on Earth.
I suppose you base your opinion on memes?
I base my dislike on them by them being bought by Jeff Bezos. That said, it's not like it was a community owned paper before he bought it, it was just the oligarchs exchanging property among themselves.
They will at least some times take an actual stance against fascism, so they're ahead of the curve for mass media.
What community owned newspaper do you read?
" it was just the oligarchs exchanging property among themselves." What is that supposed to mean?
There's been conspicuously few accounts of the actual violence too.
Considering how things have gone in the past, the religious extremists rhere to illegally bid on another countries land likely started it.
I've seen articles where they claim any protest against Israel is automatically "violent".
Not to mention that any protest against is real (or anything netanyahu’s govt doesn’t like) is “antisemitic.”
Antisemitism is a problem. And its roots are long and deep and often hard to spot. But they are using the term “antisemitism” as a cudgel against legitimate criticism. Because they’re a goddamn apartheid government.
Like the college protests. Where they have on video one of the pro Israel peeps going into the protestor crowd and yelling shit like "death to Jews" to make the protestors look bad...scumbags
Reminds me of a scene in Fullmetal Alchemist where a character who can shapeshift turns into a “citizen” on one side of a tense situation between the greater govt and the local population. He shoots a govt official during some non-violent protest and it sets off a whole war. It was revealed he was working for the govt to further their own goals.

Interesting that you’re concerned about them unanimously editing the narrative to not include the real estate fair or who started the violence (which, 100%, is a bullshit thing for them to do)
But presumably approving of 3/4 of them putting Biden’s name in the headline for as far as I can tell literally no reason at all
This is where ground news is really helpful.
I swear this isn't an ad (though if anyone does want to try I think I have a referral code?) but it's really nice to be able to just swipe through various publications' articles on the same subject and compare headlines, etc.
Why are they putting CNN and other capitalist publications on the left hand side of center?
No idea. I take it with a grain of salt. I guess we need to remember just how far right most publications are.

It was actually a rhetorical question, because I already know the answer. The answer is that the political spectrum is always relative. There's no such thing as a middle or a center, there's only left or right relative to some other point. It's like movements in space, space doesn't have a north pole or an objective reference point, so you can only say that a particular solar system is a certain distance from our own or some other arbitrary reference point.
Ground News chooses to have an arbitrary reference point, while telling its users that it's an objective source of understanding bias. This is deceptive. It makes users feel that they're unbiased, while entrenching them in the particular biases of USA politics. This is very bad for society as a whole. Ground News is brain rot.
There's no such thing as a middle or a center, there's only left or right relative to some other point.
You might be thinking of the Overton Window.
Yes, Ground News reinforces the overton window, which is very bad

Regarding the ad for the event in the replies there, apparently the term "Anglo-Jews" means English speaking. But it's also still a very blatant euphemism for "white European English speaking Jews" because that group makes up almost the entirety of whom the word would be used for.
So, yeah, it is still based on racist undertones regardless.
When presidents start condemning your protests, you're probably fighting for a good cause.
….wwwelllll…. I’d be careful painting with too broad a brush there, partner.
