So there's this Tel Aviv Scrabble club which appears to be co-ordinating a flood of spurious complaints about The National's coverage of Gaza, resulting in literally hundreds of Ipso processes for us to go through. Let me explain ...

We have been handling hundreds of complaints from one woman in Tel Aviv, named Michelle Moshelian, for some time. The numbers of complaints from this one individual is so extreme that it caught the attention of Private Eye recently

Michelle's complaints can be incredibly semantic in nature. Not just complaints that you might expect, eg being upset at us using the word genocide. One recent complaint involved her distress over us writing Fifa in lower case. It's endless.

Anyway recently we noticed a new person submitting very similar complaints but with a different name. So we started investigating.

We found that this individual and Michelle are connected via their local Tel Aviv Scrabble club. It appears to be a co-ordinated attack on our coverage of Israel's genocide, coming from inside Israel. It is taking up huge amounts of our time and it's clearly vexatious.

They told us we were too poor… while draining us of oil, power, and profit. Jim Eadie lays it out clearly: Scotland was never too small. It was too useful — to a system built to benefit London. From energy to industry, our wealth was siphoned away… while communities were left to crumble.👇
