The latest available that would load was from around 2017 unfortunately

I think it was obvious that hamas . com (I'm not linking that) was Israeli propaganda from the get go because it is made on Wix which is an Israeli company. However, I was bored and decided I'd look into its history when I found out the domain went back as far as 1999. I'm unsure when the domain name began to be hosted by Wix and wouldn't know how to find that.

make of it what you will, I found it interesting.

Honestly it's the sheer variety of content on a single page that sent me

its just a domain parking service that puts that crap up its not a genuine website its just to extract some revenue from the clicks until/unless someone buys the domain

[–] sharkfucker420@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

some of them definitely seem targeted. specifically the terrorism, sex, Israeli, Arab, Palestinian, Hamas, and Iraq related links

[–] YearOfTheCommieDesktop@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yeah because the domain name is literally hamas

its just a computer playing word association trying to get clicks

ahhhh i see, i wonder at what point the domain was bought by wix. I'm gonna assume it somewhere around the time that the archived links refused to load but unfortunately that's anywhere between 2017 and now. granted it has been most active since October 7th till now for obvious reasons so maybe they most likely bought it then

it wasn't bought by wix, it was bought by an unknown customer from a domain reseller who had it listed for sale at afternic, and then its nameservers were changed to point to wix

there's no indication it was owned by anyone except one or more domain traders/resellers until Nov 21, 2023

doesn't prove anything of any real meaning but it was definitely put up in response to oct 7th, it did not exist as a real website until nov 21

Oh wow, that site has a lot more information than what I found on whois. Fascinating

I'll have to bookmark it

yeah it took me a bit to find a whois history that didn't cost an arm and a leg
