1,000 posts is absolutely nothing. If that's all they removed then I don't get why this article even exists.

My thoughts exactly. TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook (Reddit as well) probably add more than 1000 posts each on this topic every hour.

  I suspect that we're closer to 1,000 per second.

  You have to multiply the post count by their reach. If it is a strong exponent power law the top 1000 may be the vast majority of what people see on the topic, but they may apply greater scrutiny in removing posts with high reach too.

Not only that, but there is more than enough legitimately antisemitic or pro-terrorism content on these platforms for this to be fully legitimate reporting behavior. It could be 100,000 posts and this would still be near meaningless without actual context on what is being reported. 1000 posts is a joke.

  I dont think Israel is that interested in legitimate anti semitism. Orban ran an election campaign centered aroud an anti semitic trope and he gets along with Israel just fine, for instance. Their primary target is anti-racist criticism of the state, the apartheid, the war and the genocide. All labeled as anti semitism despite being fundamentally antiracist and running counter to a racist Israeli narrative.

    At least in several European countries there was a tendency to label any criticism of Israel as a state as antisemitism. This is the kind of antisemitism they are fighting. They do not seem to care about actual antisemitism in far-right parties, but then they broadly agree with them on policies such as how to deal with Arabs.

    The reported group is not the Israeli government. And what is the "racist Israeli narrative"?

      The Amalek reference that Netanyahu likes to use is one of the more recent examples of their favored genocidal/racist wolfwhistles.
