12. Wow, it's like there is a Hasbara DarkNet out there that I know nothing about.

I read the posts from Israellycool with the intention to refute them, but I realized that the posts were so inaccurate that a refutal would be longer than the posts themselves, so I've decided not to. I'll attack the messenger instead.

Israellycool is really inaccurate, and I believe it's intentionally so. It's very right-wing, and while it doesn't promote racism outright, it always distorts facts to make Arabs look bad. It's also stalking people that are considered anti-Israel which I think is really creepy. It has a feature called "Anti-Zionist-Not-Antisemite Of The Day" that outs average people, mostly students. Creepy...

While I don't think that making up and spreading lies is racist, the stalking part is definitely not OK. Only hate sites do that.

Israellycool is therefore a hate site.
