Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

Oof
Should someone tell em?
jpost is a bullshit rag... Can't trust a damn word they publish.
Just going to ignore Israel using enough bots to literally influence LLM training and suspected to have heavily botted every election.
Yeah... Mamdani is the issue here. Uhuh sure
How would the WZO have the IP addresses of Twitter bots? Why would the bots be physically located in city hall?
And why would they only have “dozens” when it takes hundreds or thousands?
Lol
LMAO, even
Despite the billions the US taxpayers give Israel, AIPAC is really struggling.
Zionism is racism. Not a trustworthy source.
It's interesting how they make claims about antisemitism but won't quote a single instance of antisemitism, yet feel compelled to report this lower than 200 account bot farm to the US government and say they're spreading hate. Jpost is as reputable as Breitbart, I don't think any legitimacy should be afforded them.
To me it seems like they're starting to provide nucleation sites for the US government to eventually have one with enough popularity to take action on. No doubt there are going to be bots actually spreading antisemitism and his posts now if not already.
Also it's a bullshit headline, they claim to trace it to city hall, but then later admit what connects it is their reposts, not their actual IPs. Are they insinuating there's a server farm or a phone farm mass posting this in some closet at the city hall? Delusional
Why would we believe anything from jpost?
the World Zionist Organization told The Jerusalem Post exclusively.
lmao, sounds credible and not at all as if they have ulterior motives.
I mean this is just where we are now. This is where the bar has been set.
It's like all the gerrymandering. It's bad. But if the red team is allowed to do it, any semblance of fairness and representation is gone, so might as well.
Uuuuh, dozens?! I am so scared by this blatant misuse of the New York City Hall employees! They should buy bots from Chinese bot farms like everyone else!
But more importantly, why does World Zionist has access to the IPs of X users and the IPs of New York City Hall?
