The information here was given to Israeli police before the violent outbursts on the 12/5. No one was arrested in advance. Last night’s violence could have been stopped.

In the last few days, our researchers at Fake Reporter alongside @HablocOrg have been monitoring far-right groups on Whatsapp and Telegram.
We saw how civilians are organizing and arming themselves, in order to violently attacks Arab businesses and civilians.

The street violence starts online - that’s why we infiltrated the far right messaging groups. We saw a ticking time bomb - groups specifically targeting Arab civilians of Israel, including incitement, weapon-hoarding, information on specific Arab-owned businesses and morepic.twitter.com/LKlwI5KvR8

Groups began organizing to go to Ramla, Lod, Bat Yam, Afula, Haifa, Tiberias, Jerusalem, Beersheba, and others - in the stated goal of attacking Arabs. Some of these cities are interwoven with Jewish and Arab population - making the environment even more tense.pic.twitter.com/2o8tCWXCPR

The lynch yesterday in Bat-Yam, where a Jewish mob severely beat an Arab man, was organized on one of these telegram groups. One of its members wrote: “ get brass knuckles clubs knives come prepared” ; “kill them one by one.” these groups invite more people to join the attacks.pic.twitter.com/a4xXLUotLf

That’s how the groups look like. One by one. A civil war in the making. We gathered the materials and handed them over to the police and Israeli media, in hopes of stopping this ticking time bomb that our researchers witnessed.pic.twitter.com/xH1fA9Apgh

It’s painful to know that despite our attempts, very little was actually done. Parts of the media even told us that there’s no use in covering these preparations, before a crime was actually perpetrated.

Fake Reporter was founded after we witnessed how civilians were being targeted online by extreme groups. On this sad week, it’s important that we learn about the destructive power of online hate groups, and how the violence that starts online - can easily spread to the streets.

Pogroms? This won’t work out well for Israel in the end.
