Andrew Torba, Gab CEO:

We were fed up with the p*rn profiles, JIDF propagandists, and other subversive behavior that we've encountered over the years all emanating from the same IP sources in the same country.

It was time to put an end to it, so we did.

It wasn't just the various DDOS attacks over the years it was the nonstop subversive behavior: p*rn accounts, spam, concern trolling, threats of violence, LARPing as "extremists," doxxing, etc. Basically breaking all of the 3-4 actual rules Gab has.

Not dealing with it anymore. Expelled.

Hopefully every other American platform follows suit.

It looks like Gab is using Cloudflare to block an entire nation of people. While this may sound good as they present it, it is still censorship. Some people in Israel may want to expose the truth about what is going on there, but Gab is blocking them.

Israel is finding herself surrounded by her enemies, fulfilling the prophecy of Jesus, showing us the time we are in:

And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
