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)
Nothing excuses Zionism even if some opposes the actions of their government
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.
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.
Especially in this conflict. There is more fake news going around, pushed by both pro palestinian and pro israel sides, than real news.
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".
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.
I probably shouldn’t guess because the truth is I have not even the slightest idea, but I would bet money that it was the Israel side that started the violence and not the protestor side. Among other things, I think if the protestors started the violence, there wouldn’t be any of this passive voice “violence evolved” stuff; we’d be hearing specifically about how they “attacked,” in the active voice.
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.
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
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.
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.
Found a poster who was not alive until 2022.
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.
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.
Google News can do the same thing (although you’ll have to do your own reliability ranking) - search for “la protest” or something and you can do the math and take note of how many of them are simply covering that it happened, and how many and which ones are making Biden into a key feature of their headlines.
