The sensitive data of several Israeli athletes in the Paris Olympic Games was published on Telegram in an alleged doxing attack on Friday.
A hacking group calling itself “Zeus” (likely a nod to the Games’ Greek origins) is allegedly responsible, and also purportedly leaked the military status of Israeli athletes on social media a day prior.
Fuck that. They have an international platform to say something against the ongoing genocide and are instead supporting it by participating under the Israeli flag.
So we should dox the athletes for it? Seriously?
Yes. They are supporting genocide. And it’s not even “silence is compliance” but they’re literally ‘advertising’ their country during a genocide. And yes I know that the Olympics is an extremely big and important thing for athletes, but that’s exactly why you have the option to compete without representing a nation.
And what do you think doxxing the athletes accomplishes, exactly? What good do you think comes of it? What purpose does it serve?
Exactly!!! If we’re already assuming they served in the military, why do we need any more information than their name? What is the end goal of the dox?
I believe the end goal is to cause conversations like the above.
For the stupid people like me, what is the conversations they are trying to have. All I see is someone advocating they since they are Israeli they should be doxxed for being so.
For them I don’t think it matters. I think the whole goal is to have further awareness and having people burning time on it like we’re doing right now brings more awareness to the issue regardless what side you’re on. They believe their side is just so that it will win out in general and bringing further awareness and making people think about it can only be a good thing.
Tl;Dr: awareness.
You’re not stupid; that’s exactly what they’re doing.
I’m not though? They’re Israelis that have the platform to speak out against the genocide and are not doing so, but instead are ‘advertising’ for their country.
I haven’t looked at the dox, but if they have apartments/properties outside of Israel, it’ll lead to some good ol’ vandalism. With addresses inside Israel it’s most likely gonna be harassment in the form of letters and packages. Same goes for phone numbers and email addresses.
Essentially, make their lives as uncomfortable as possible. And because they know they’ve been doxed, it’s unlikely to lead to physical violence, because I doubt they’re stupid enough to stay at (now publicly known) addresses outside of Israel.
Oh no, a German calling all the Jews criminals indiscriminately and calling for extreme lawless measures against “that nation of criminals”. That is such a fresh take.
See here
Huh, so you’re a supporter of forcing people out of their homes when they’ve committed no crime other than have the misfortune of being born in the wrong country? Where have I seen this one before…
Reading comprehension just isn’t your thing is it?
I literally said it’s about them advertising their country and not speaking out despite having the platform. It has nothing to do with where they’re born.
So you still support forcing people out of their homes, though? Cool, nice chatting with you, Bibi.
Dunno… Genocide, or decorum. It’s a toughie
