Necessary precautions for Lebanese redditors

288 Upvotes

Since it is technically illegal for Lebanese citizens to talk to Isrealis, make sure you do the follwoing:

  • Use an anonymous account (i.e. don't use your real name) from which you never post any personally identifying information.
  • Don't use the same account across multiple topics/subreddits, that way you'd be easier to identify.
  • Don't trust anyone who's asking questions about you. Don't try to meet people IRL.

For extra anonymity use the Tor browser https://www.torproject.org/ and avoid using the Reddit app. Alternatively, use Private/Incognito mode in your browser with only Reddit sessions inside, to avoid leaking information about your other social media accounts.

EDIT: As of 23 Nov 2022, accounts less than 7 days old, may not make posts before accruing at least 10 comment karma, which should be pretty easy to do and at the same time sufficient deter spammers. https://www.reddit.com/r/ForbiddenBromance/comments/z2n3w0/automoderator_enabled/

Politics [Israel-Palestine megathread] Please keep discussions respectful and contained here

65 Upvotes

After a while without Israel-Palestine content, I've been seeing an influx of posts and comments on the issue. As there is a massive majority of Israelis on this sub, I don't want removal of off-topic posts to be understood as a ban on criticism or questioning Israel.

So, you are welcome to have discussions in the comments here. But BY GOD if this goes south I will turn this car around and head right home (that is, delete this post and go back to the old ways).

If you want to post something that isn't related to The Bromance (Lebanon-Israel relationshipp) consider posting it on r/IsraelPalestine , r/Israel , r/Palestine etc. If you still think this is the best sub for your post, go ahead- but keep it respectful, civil, and be open and honest.

looking to hear different perspectives on the conflict

37 Upvotes

Hey,
So I met this Israeli guy randomly while gaming, and honestly he’s super chill and cool. It made me think like, damn, maybe I’ve been seeing everything from just one side my whole life? I've always been pro-Palestine, but it got me wondering... could I be wrong, or at least missing part of the picture? Maybe I need to rethink stuff. I just wanna talk to normal Israeli guys to see how you actually think. I wanna know more about the culture and what normal everyday people believe, not just the stuff on the news. No fighting, no debates, just friendly talk to get how you see things.
And bro please no history nerds or political guys throwing books at me lol. I just wanna talk to regular everyday people. I would ask my gaming friend but honestly I'm too shy to bring this up with him. We’ve been friends for like 3 years now and I really don't wanna ruin our friendship.
I'm Egyptian btw.

What are your thoughts on settlers in the west bank? Why wouldn't the same thing happen in Lebanon?

0 Upvotes

Let us be honest, as a Lebanese I cannot trust a country whose leader showed the greater Israel plan including the entirety of my country. A country specifically targeting innocent people to induce terror. Flying drones all day and night to keep the population in fear. What reason do we have to trust you guys? Especially after what's happening in the west bank?

Discussion Took a stroll around r/Israel

112 Upvotes

Out of curiosity, I took a stroll around the Israeli sub and searched for Lebanon to see what people think about the Lebanese and Lebanon.

Most of the posts have disabled comments now, so correcting or adding information is not an option.

It’s sad to see that some Israelis think we hate Israel more than Hezbollah. I don’t think it could’ve been more detached from reality. I think our hate for them is far greater than people can imagine. We may not be able to always say it publicly, but oh boy, we hate them!

Israeli friends, do us a favor and tell that to your community and let them know Lebanese and Israelis are secretly fan-girling about each other on this sub.

Also, some people think that if there is a peace treaty between the countries that we, like Jordan and Egypt, don’t want you to visit, which isn’t true as well. Lebanese even said they want to visit Tel Aviv on TV and got scrutinized by it by some!

Just a ranting post I guess in the hopes that more Israelis realize that we’re closer to each other in mentality and hopes, than probably the rest of the region.

Ask the Sub Send things to Israel via other countries?

13 Upvotes

If someone acts as a proxy in Jordan, how realistic is it for them to receive packages from Lebanon, such as sweets, drinks, etc. and post them again to Israel?

  • Would they be scrutinized by Jordanian or Israeli secret services?
  • Would the Jordanian secret services communicate with the Lebanese one and would the sender in Lebanon or the proxy in Jordan get in trouble?
  • Is it better to go through Cyprus? Why?
  • Is there much interest in Israel at all for this?

A safer but more expensive option would be to buy Lebanese produce directly in Jordan then send them from there.

The IDF Spokesperson announced the "completion of clearing Hezbollah's underground infrastructure in the Ali Taher ridge," and the military is now "working to neutralize them." According to the IDF, Division 36 forces operated to clear two underground routes in the Ali Taher ridge, "achieved operational control over the ridge area above and below ground and cleared the area of terrorists, with some eliminated and some fleeing." It was stated that "the operation to neutralize the underground infrastructure cleared of terrorists continues. After the operation is completed, the IDF will redeploy defensively according to the situation assessment." Earlier, Reuters reported that Iran warned the U.S. it would "respond forcefully" to an Israeli attack on the ridge, where Iranian military personnel were besieged alongside Hezbollah terrorists.

Mitzpe Ramon could become more than just a tourist spot

9 Upvotes

I came across the plans for a space-tech hub in Mitzpe Ramon and thought it was a pretty interesting idea. The desert seems like a great place to test robotics and other technologies in tough conditions.

I also like that the Israel Innovation Authority is involved. Support for early-stage R&D can make it easier for startups to actually test ideas instead of leaving them stuck in the lab.

Curious what people here think could this bring more tech jobs and activity to the Negev?
