There's something especially annoying about modern activists who become obsessed with their own cause to the point where they think everything has to be interrupted in order to make people listen to them.
You'll see them do various things like block traffic, or spray important things with colored liquids of many varieties, but it would appear that they've found a new way of doing things. Just hack into the X account of a major corporation and start spewing your nonsense there.
Ford Motor Company had that happen to them on Tuesday. According to those who got the screenshot, Ford's account suddenly went full anti-Israel and began pushing the same old, tired phrases you've been hearing since October of last year.
"ALL EYES ON GAZA"
"ISRAEL IS A TERRORIST STATE"
"FREE PALESTINE"
Tiresome.

Ford itself acknowledged this incident and is investigating how it happened, alongside X itself.
"Our X account was briefly compromised and three posts were made that were not authorized or posted by Ford. They do not represent the views of Ford Motor Company. Ford and X are investigating this breach."

Jokes about whether Henry Ford himself would approve of these messages aside. It's entirely possible that the person who runs this social media account forgot to simply log out and made these posts without knowing which account they were posting to, but each message was posted two minutes apart from each other. It'd be hard not to notice the flood of responses within that time, which leads me to believe this was a hack.
If so, this should put major corporations on high alert regarding the safety of their social media accounts. These activists proved they can get access to them somehow, and if so, every corporation is at risk of being infiltrated and radical messaging dispensed from their accounts.
These anti-Israel activists are especially egregious as they're willing to flat-out lie about things happening in Gaza, or about Israel's activities, in order to push their antisemitic agenda. Shamelessly, they celebrate the death and torture of innocent Jewish people, and defend literal terrorists hiding within schools and hospitals in hopes that the Israeli army will launch an attack and hurt women and children.
They will then turn around and use pictures and footage of these bombed out places and dead innocents to generate media for consumption online. As these terrorists have no chance of defeating Israel in actual battle, the only real way to do any damage to them is through public opinion. As such, emotional manipulation is a huge part of their strategy.
And their target is you.
While it's awful that any innocents should die, this is a war Hamas started and Israel is finishing. Hamas has made it clear that it wants total genocide of the Jewish people and Israel to be conquered. Israel has no choice but to wage this war and see to it that Hamas is either eradicated, or is so injured that it can't get back up for years and years to come.
In the meantime, it can only rely on the useful idiots here in America to push its message and hope that it will win sympathy, or even better, ire against Israel.
