I think it is dog whistling, but if you aren't familiar with anti-Semitic arguments and angles of attack, I don't think it is clear at all, which is probably the point.
On the surface it just seems like a list of facts and some are even seemingly laudatory, such as helping to end apartheid. The bad stuff is subtle or lower down the page.
If I were a moderator and just doing a quick check, I probably wouldn't spot anything wrong with the page.
- sbilstein 5y agoYea I agree... the winky face emojis and comment sections tell you the audience knows exactly what they're looking at though.
- SpicyLemonZest 5y agoThe problem is, even if you could develop a moderation system which can give individual reports this level of consideration, I don't think there's anyway to remove this kind of content without also removing a ton of legitimate discussions that happen to be used as dogwhistles in some specific subculture.
