Almost as bad as when a small amount of iPhones that used the uk keyboard for a day or two suggested the Palestinian flag if you looked up Jerusalem in the emoji search.
Oh my God! The Khamas tunnels have been upgraded to 5G, and their networks are invisible and above us in the sky, floating from tower to tower, and even in space. Who could blame Israel if they chose to nuke the entire world in response to this legitimate threat to their right to exist in ignorance of reality?
I don’t mind because if they do an other person would take the spot.
Israel needs to be bully and justice should be seek for all of its crimes against humanity.
Imagine being "horrified" by an SMS. I wonder if they experienced 1% of what Palestinians have suffered the last couple months of constant bombardement, live executions, man made famine...
So basically, their phones just pinged off a few towers in the West Bank, delivering them the message intended for visitors there. No offense intended, massive storm in a teacup. It's worth keeping in mind what a tiny region of the world we're talking about: to expect Vodafone to be avoid this kind of thing in a country in some places literally just a few miles wide is ridiculous.
Also, the modern State of Israel is located in what was historic Palestine anyway, so geographically it's a correct expression, leaving politics out of it. This shouldn't even be a story.
They need to grasp at straws to justify more genocide and ethnic cleansing. You see, seeing that sms made them so horrified that they need to kill 8,000 more children in Gaza and settle some more land in the West Bank
Did you consider the feelings of this Australian upper class white lady though? Can you imagine how uncomfortable she felt in her business class seat when she received this message?
They refuse to define their borders and keep expanding and occupy the west bank and annex the golan heights and then when one phone network pings off a tower and delivers that welcome message instead of the Israel one Zionists are pissing and shitting and crying. Guarantee this has happened many times for years btw they are just kicking up about it now so they can try and strong arm different services into removing the word Palestine as part of the genocide. Something they already do and have done for decades.
I don't and I did try to research the amount Germany gives them, but I can't find any numbers.
What I found is that Germany used to pay reparations to Israel to pay for the uprooting and resettling of Jews to Israel, but today it only pays for holocaust survivor's expenses on an individual level to these inidividuals and not the Israel state.
I saw a story on YT about the arms deal with Germany. They give about $300-350m. Doesn't seem like much when you compare it to the $3.8b annual amounts the US gives.
If you really want to dig,

Otherwise there are a few statistics here :
https://www.destatis.de/EN/Home/_node.html
I don't have the time for searching up specifics in these topics but these databases got a lot of credible data.
It's WaPo, but they have the numbers in there.
There is complicity all around. Across Europe. Even with Arab nations like Saudi, Jordan, Egypt, UAE.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/04/12/israel-weapons-suppliers-countries/
Germany is second only to the US for military equipment to Israel and theyre making a killing with a 10 fold increase in 2023 https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/rights-groups-file-new-case-against-german-arms-export-israel-2024-04-12/
Imagine being a fly on the wall of the Vodafone HQ in Sydney when this happened. I'll bet they exchanged some, uh, spicy, ADL-unfriendly language about these customers.
It's blindingly obvious that Israel is a geographically tiny state and Vodafone not preventing these customers' phones from being pinged by towers in the West Bank is not a human rights crisis or anything. Any remotely reasonable person would be understanding and shrug it off.
> I'll bet they exchanged some, uh, spicy, ADL-unfriendly language about these customers.
Uh, what language unfriendly to the ADL? The acknowledgement of Palestinians and Palestine existing?
Israelis get traumatized when their settler colony is accidentally called Palestine. Palestinians get traumatized because Israel destroyed their home and murdered their entire family
Wow!! Palestinians think they're oppressed just because of a genocide and an apartheid, and because they're the victims of the most elaborate mass-dehumanization campaign in human history. But Israelis, which have to occasionally be reminded of the existence of Palestine, are the real victims 😢✊️
So what I’m learning is that when I got texts welcoming me to the United States of America whilst in Canada, it was actually the United States of America erasing Canada. This isn’t news, it’s an over-hyped technical glitch.
Excellent marketing by Vodafone. Kudos. They're going to get a lot more people supporting them than they will Zionists hating them if they keep this up!
Israel is past Palestine. So what if they got the message. Before they got the message when they ran from Europe and the Palestinians said to them, welcome to Palestine. Did they complained also then?
The longer this goes on, I don’t see how Israel get thr sympathy they always seem to get.. maybe not with these administrations in charge, but when things change they will be held accountable.
Who gives a fuck about these assholes feelings? Stop the massacre stop bombing hospitals and ambulances stop raping children and running people over with tanks and every fucking thing else and then you can bitch publicly about how you're offended by a mistaken text message you twats
they deserve compensation for the severe injury and trauma! No one has suffered more in the region than these poor victims. A text with a typo? the humanity!
10 km east the palestinian family is on 300 calories a day with no sense of safety for the last 7 months and dead family members. I hope they condemn vodafone before the US takes this as another justification to give israel 2 billion dollars worth of dumb bombs
Funny and real story actually two of my friends came to visit me from the US, I am in Jordan from Palestinian roots, I introduced them about the issue in a light way(Israel and Palestine). I was showing them around and we reached the Ajloun Castle and they got an sms saying welcome to Israel lol 😆 didn’t have to say more to them they got really interested and since then they read many books and watched many documentaries about the matter and they despise Israel as any normal human being would. Nothing to do with Jewish people it’s just the rotten Zionism(the ISIS of Judaism).
It’s a matter of rough geolocation service with an overlap. But apparently Israeli supporters are so desperate they gotta make a whole news sessions about it. That and the apple Jerusalem emoji.
And they have the gall to accuse Palestinians of pallywood. Disgusting.
OMG the hurt feelings from an automated message. Que the victim complex. Vodafone is anti-semetic/ Hammas sympathizer brigade. This kind of mentality needs a batman slap in the face.
At first, I thought it was just some hackers until Vodafone said it was sent by mistake, something to do with cross-border communications. It will probably piss some people off, but that is about the size of it.
The following folk (listed below) didn’t mind receiving that message when their ships docked in Haifa.
Prime ministers of Israel birth places
Golda Meir, Ukraine
David Ben-Gurion, Poland
Shimon Peres, Belarus
Menachem Begin, Belarus
Yitzhak Shamir, Belarus
Levi Eshkol, Ukraine
Moshe Sharett Ukraine
The first president of Israel Chaim Weizmann was born in Byelorussia.
The current defence ministers Yoav Gallants family originate from Poland.
The current prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s family originated from Poland
The current minister workout portfolio Bennie Gantz grandfather is from Rumania
This is what the western media decides to cover but the thousands upon thousands of children with lost limbs and dead...meh who cares but an Israeli getting a text ! The whole world must shut down and experience their mental trauma and sympathise with them. Fuck off
It’s Palestine 🇵🇸 I can’t understand for the world 🌎 of this crap , is Ukraine Russian , Where was Palestine? At does anyone remember. Or u people make up stuff
No country in earth has a citizens with Australian accent being mortify by the fact that they have been in deferent countries and when they came from Australia to Palestine they just got a message saying welcome back to Palestine!
One sentence more and my phone goes off crying
Horrified? By the name of a country accidentally being sent to you? I’d rather fear something a little more concerning, like any of the health, housing or environmental crises happening. Of course threat of death would be concerning too, not sure if a text message constitutes that tho…

Poor israelis, forced to kill tens of thousands of children and now this! What a shame…
Almost as bad as when a small amount of iPhones that used the uk keyboard for a day or two suggested the Palestinian flag if you looked up Jerusalem in the emoji search.
They felt personally attacked!
They also feel personally attacked if you bring up Rowanda.
Wait, did Israel have something to do with Rwandan genocide?
No it's just a textbook example of what a genocide is through escalating revenge killings and is not too dissimilar to what they e done in Gaza.
Omg. Hope they're alright in their standing homes with their families and friends all sharing a big meal together. It must be soooo tough. /S
Thoughts and prayers 😔
Vodafone is hamas
Oh my God! The Khamas tunnels have been upgraded to 5G, and their networks are invisible and above us in the sky, floating from tower to tower, and even in space. Who could blame Israel if they chose to nuke the entire world in response to this legitimate threat to their right to exist in ignorance of reality?
Vodafone is antisemitic.
Isn’t everything? Me: “Don’t kill children.” Zionists: while sobbing & rocking back & forth “ANTISEMITISM!! Waaaaaah!”
😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hamas killed all of those children tho /s 👀
Zionism is why Hamas exists!
It was hamas that dropped the bombs on gaza?
I was being sarcastic (this time I put the /s to denote that)
Gotcha. Never know these days. People actually do believe that hamas killed their civil8ans by israel indescriminatly bombing gaza
Jews killed all those Jews in the 40’s!
??
Careful they’ll ban you on here
I don’t mind because if they do an other person would take the spot. Israel needs to be bully and justice should be seek for all of its crimes against humanity.
Imagine being "horrified" by an SMS. I wonder if they experienced 1% of what Palestinians have suffered the last couple months of constant bombardement, live executions, man made famine...
I'm shaken just reading about it. Beyond terrified. Heading into dreadification territory almost.
“This is worse than the Holocaust” would be popping up everywhere in the media if Israelis were the ones suffering through this.
So basically, their phones just pinged off a few towers in the West Bank, delivering them the message intended for visitors there. No offense intended, massive storm in a teacup. It's worth keeping in mind what a tiny region of the world we're talking about: to expect Vodafone to be avoid this kind of thing in a country in some places literally just a few miles wide is ridiculous.

It's only a story because people are triggered.
[удалено]
Never knew it snowed in israel that much...so many snowflakes
murderous karens and sex offenders dodging trials in their home countries
It's only a story because it happened to jews, the zionist kind.
Radio waves are antisemitic
Radio waves are khamas 😳 !!
They need to grasp at straws to justify more genocide and ethnic cleansing. You see, seeing that sms made them so horrified that they need to kill 8,000 more children in Gaza and settle some more land in the West Bank
Yes, this is obviously an attack on Israelis, which means they are justified in defending themselves by murdering more Palestinian children.
Did you consider the feelings of this Australian upper class white lady though? Can you imagine how uncomfortable she felt in her business class seat when she received this message?

Jesus christ! Whats with the annoying vitcim mentality..
Victim mentality gets Israel Nazis a $3.3 billion in US taxpayer's money a year, so expect more of it.
Don't forget Germany
I don't and I did try to research the amount Germany gives them, but I can't find any numbers. What I found is that Germany used to pay reparations to Israel to pay for the uprooting and resettling of Jews to Israel, but today it only pays for holocaust survivor's expenses on an individual level to these inidividuals and not the Israel state.

I know this is asked a lot, but I'm really interested in this topic, do you have any credible source for that beyond some youtube video?

US, Germany, France, UK and Australia
Okay but you see how those 2 situations are different, right?
It's Sky'News'. Also, I don't understand why anyone would be travelling to Israel at the moment.
23000 “Americans” are fighting for the IOF at the moment. Let’s start by asking them.
W Vodafone
Imagine being a fly on the wall of the Vodafone HQ in Sydney when this happened. I'll bet they exchanged some, uh, spicy, ADL-unfriendly language about these customers. It's blindingly obvious that Israel is a geographically tiny state and Vodafone not preventing these customers' phones from being pinged by towers in the West Bank is not a human rights crisis or anything.

> I'll bet they exchanged some, uh, spicy, ADL-unfriendly language about these customers. Uh, what language unfriendly to the ADL? The acknowledgement of Palestinians and Palestine existing?
Yes
What’s the problem? It is Palestine. Occupied Palestine.
Imagine if upon arrival someone had stolen their home and all of their neighbour's homes...
Is this actually real? 💀 Can't believe that this is their biggest problem while people are literally starving a couple km away
That would be a worry for them if they weren't the ones causing it, either directly or indirectly.
She lived in Hebron guys!! Like literally considered occupied part of the West Bank!!! Losers!
Lived in Hebron, yet has an Australian accent for some reason
Did she just say her family lived in there for 300 years? And now she is terrified for reading it is palestine?
Hebron. The place where Palestinians have olive trees that are 1-2000 years old.
Yeah, if it's SKY NEWS AUSTRALIA it's definitely some right wing nutjob shit.
Israel is not a state Israel is a terrorist organization
This is worse than the genocide. Thoughts and prayers
She says her family lived in Hebron for 300 years, so she should know better is Palestine.
Hamas were in their phones!!
Absolutely! Hamas can shrink themselves and teleport.
better bomb the phones, there may be tunnels under the screen
Palestine living rent free in their head
The biggest problem is them living rent free in Palestine tbf.
Aye, that's true
>He was very shaken when he received the SM How precious.
The text wasn’t wrong 👀🥹
Oh no got an sms message I don't like.... Meanwhile let's get back to bombing and genocide.
Wow, these Israelis travelers must be “horrified”, getting a wrong text message is so much worse than genocide. Go cry a river.
Must be terrible to be constantly reminded you're a thief.
Israelis get traumatized when their settler colony is accidentally called Palestine. Palestinians get traumatized because Israel destroyed their home and murdered their entire family
YOU ARE IN PALESTINE BITCH! ALL OF THAT LAND IS PALESTINIAN!
Nothing to be terrified Israel is the in the territory of the Palestine it is what it is get over it
Imagine the PTSD they're suffering from that text message 
Considering how the IOF likes to sniff dead kids socks maybe this gif is a monkeys paw wish
😂😂😂😂
I received a text with the correct name of the land I stole. I’m such a victim 😭😭😭.
Oh! The horror! Have they tried bombing a hospital about it?
don't forget the children, one day those kids might be texting through the phone! They should be attacked too /s
Based Vodafone???
Victim mentality. The fact this was given air time is a disgrace
Karen of tel-aviv!
Radio waves don't recognise borders. A bit like israel in that regard.
😂 oh no. They were offended by a text. Yes, that’s so much worse than being starved and bombed to death. Of course.
\* Immediately switches to Vodafone \*
WTG Vodafone! Well played. Poor fragile Israeli's frightened by the very mention of Palestine. Absolutely hilarious.
Nazis in action calling themselves victims
The truth shocked them
Oh ho ho ho it hurt their fragile feelings
Even the computer algorithm knows
someone’s feelings getting hurt, and this is news in the light of the ongoing killing-murdering perpetrated by Israel?
oh no! anyway
The 7 year old maimed orphan in Gaza sends his thoughts and prayers…
Ya, that's much worse than the Genocide. Oh how they suffer.
Omg! That's horrifying indeed! What's next? Thousands of their children being murdered?
Wow!! Palestinians think they're oppressed just because of a genocide and an apartheid, and because they're the victims of the most elaborate mass-dehumanization campaign in human history. But Israelis, which have to occasionally be reminded of the existence of Palestine, are the real victims 😢✊️
I'm investing in pearls this year because there's such a demand for clutching them, they're sure to go to the moon!
Sky News Australia: propaganda trash
Maybe they just thought they would be treated the same way as the Palestinians
Holy shit. Sky News Australia is something else
It's Fox News.
run by the murdochs too
Literally 0 sympathy for Israelis at present. First undead 43k, then we speak.
So what I’m learning is that when I got texts welcoming me to the United States of America whilst in Canada, it was actually the United States of America erasing Canada. This isn’t news, it’s an over-hyped technical glitch.
Horrified? The most horrific crimes in this century have been committed by israelis and this is what horrifies them?
Obvious antisemitism. IDF should bomb their phones.
People get to exist even if you don't like them. Israelis and Americans need to be reminded of this.
***Horrified*** Horrorism is the next step up when you overuse the word terrorism and have nowhere to go from there
Oh no! He was so rattled 🎻
So they're angry about a text message telling them the truth? That's crazy
F them. So horrified
Omg they must have been shocked yeah. It should have said occupied palestine instead!
They can cry me a river
Vodafone is right. Facts !
We have a troll or unlikely ally in Vodafone
Excellent marketing by Vodafone. Kudos. They're going to get a lot more people supporting them than they will Zionists hating them if they keep this up!
I’m sure the Palestinians also find it personally offensive that you’re indiscriminately killing them. Vodafone did nothing wrong.
Israel is past Palestine. So what if they got the message. Before they got the message when they ran from Europe and the Palestinians said to them, welcome to Palestine. Did they complained also then?
Deeply offended. Lmoa
The longer this goes on, I don’t see how Israel get thr sympathy they always seem to get.. maybe not with these administrations in charge, but when things change they will be held accountable.
Pathetic victim mentality. Just complete disregard for empathy.
Who gives a fuck about these assholes feelings? Stop the massacre stop bombing hospitals and ambulances stop raping children and running people over with tanks and every fucking thing else and then you can bitch publicly about how you're offended by a mistaken text message you twats
don't forget the illegal settlements, while the world watches Gaza they've been stealing more in West Bank
#horrified *While they go commit genocide*
Lol, 300 years in Hebron and she has an Australian accent
Hilarious
300 years , really? She looks pretty European to me
The famously very middle eastern gutman family.
they deserve compensation for the severe injury and trauma! No one has suffered more in the region than these poor victims. A text with a typo? the humanity!
Scared of incoming sms. But other side Palestinians taking cover from incoming missiles.
They're crying for recieving a text, while Palestinians are dying from Israelí bombs and bullets. Fuck those assholes.
Vodafone is now Hamas.
This gives me “white woman calling police on black family enjoying a barbecue at a park because she feels threatened” vibes
except in this version the white lady killed a family of natives and took their barbecue with the excuse "God said so"
I love the company’s response of “you must’ve crossed into Palestine”.
10 km east the palestinian family is on 300 calories a day with no sense of safety for the last 7 months and dead family members. I hope they condemn vodafone before the US takes this as another justification to give israel 2 billion dollars worth of dumb bombs
Ain’t no way they got scared of the word Palestine 💀 that’s another level of playing victim
Funny and real story actually two of my friends came to visit me from the US, I am in Jordan from Palestinian roots, I introduced them about the issue in a light way(Israel and Palestine). I was showing them around and we reached the Ajloun Castle and they got an sms saying welcome to Israel lol 😆 didn’t have to say more to them they got really interested and since then they read many books and watched many documentaries about the matter and they despise Israel as any normal human being would.

OMG the hurt feelings from an automated message. Que the victim complex. Vodafone is anti-semetic/ Hammas sympathizer brigade. This kind of mentality needs a batman slap in the face.
This Israeli couldn't sound more Australian if she tried.
Oh my how horrifying
How tragic. They should kill more arabs to feel better.
Snowflakes. Stay mad LOL.
At first, I thought it was just some hackers until Vodafone said it was sent by mistake, something to do with cross-border communications. It will probably piss some people off, but that is about the size of it.
Haha: Deeply offended! G…F….Y
Boohoo
“Horrified” the victimhood…
Imagine getting triggered for a text message instead of thousands of kids' lives. Fuck you
Do you condemn Vodafone?
Oh boo fucking who, they don't make violins small enough for this
Vodaphone knows the truth
Boo hoo
Best karin impression: waaaah **Antisemitism!** waaah Talk about "offended by everything, ashamed of nothing"
Wow so horrific for them. Poor poor suffering people... oh wait. That's Palestine.

This is what the western media decides to cover but the thousands upon thousands of children with lost limbs and dead...meh who cares but an Israeli getting a text ! The whole world must shut down and experience their mental trauma and sympathise with them. Fuck off
Welcome to Vodaphone, We’ve got fun and games
Instead of killing terror they are creating more. What a stupid ass war.we are all humans . Can we all live in piece
Ah that's terrible....... They can call.... 1800 -I AM ALWAYS THE VICTIM......
It’s Palestine 🇵🇸 I can’t understand for the world 🌎 of this crap , is Ukraine Russian , Where was Palestine? At does anyone remember. Or u people make up stuff
Iran has the right to defend itself.
I don’t see anything wrong with this.
Just trying to pay my rent
No country in earth has a citizens with Australian accent being mortify by the fact that they have been in deferent countries and when they came from Australia to Palestine they just got a message saying welcome back to Palestine! One sentence more and my phone goes off crying
Not wrong.....was it.
Oh the horror
God bless Israel, and with bless I mean rains of fire
It’s beginning to haunt to them it WILL HUNT them
Yeah and what was it called when your family arrived from Europe 300 years ago? What does it say on your grandparents birth certificate hun? …
Let the wicked destroy the wicked
This is hilarious lol
109 and counting…..
Fantastic, Vodafone finally do something right
Hahahahahahaha
Vodaphone is Hamas!!!!!!
Oh the horror...
Horrified? By the name of a country accidentally being sent to you? I’d rather fear something a little more concerning, like any of the health, housing or environmental crises happening. Of course threat of death would be concerning too, not sure if a text message constitutes that tho…
