That is true, most of the participants on Rotter hold views that are despicable and couldn't be further away from my beliefs. However, Rotter has time and again proven to be the best news community on the Israeli internet, bringing breaking news and alerts as they happen. Also, note that all the hate speech on Rotter always takes place in the thread comments, never in the headlines, which is what we use for @rotternews.

What about these, just in the past few hours: * https://twitter.com/RotterNews/status/486621279823200256 https://twitter.com/RotterNews/status/486621279823200256 * https://twitter.com/RotterNews/status/486621270738366464 https://twitter.com/RotterNews/status/486621270738366464 * https://twitter.com/RotterNews/status/486631085724286976 https://twitter.com/RotterNews/status/486631085724286976 * https://twitter.com/RotterNews/status/486625806932664320 https://twitter.com/RotterNews/status/486625806932664320 Again, I will not translate because the views expressed in this Twitter feed are abhorrent to most Israelis, and are, quite frankly, idiotic and juvenile, but the Twitter feed itself is most certainly ultra right wing (and represents a small minority of Israelis).

  I would appreciate if you (or someone) would, since if they're already posted here, those of us who don't speak Hebrew are left wondering about the context of the discussion.

    Just follow the links in the tweets and paste them into Bing/Google translate. The translation is not perfect but the general gist seems to be anger, hatred and calls for revenge towards Palestinians.

    Nah, that will just piss me off terribly. Instead, let me translate a recent tweet by some (other) clever Israeli: I will never forgive the Middle East for making me hate nationalists, while people like me in the rest of the enlightened world have long since moved on to hating capitalists

      Thanks, that is clever! Though I guess they shouldn't feel so bad; capitalism intersects with other oppressive systems like patriarchy, race and the state...

    I was surprised to find that google translate did a good enough job at conveying the idiocy: Let the state of #Israel to win and take your gloves without spare any Gazan! Talk about putting the war home: Gazan Commander and his family immigrated to storm heaven.
