18 posts held, back to 31 October 2023 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 18 posts for this entry, the most recent from 15 June 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
870 reactions across 18 posts, in 22 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 40.6% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 18 of the 18 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 870reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 18 most recent posts we hold, published 31 October 2023 to 15 June 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

BBC's key voice here is May Golan, a Kahanist thug who led anti-Black race riots in Tel Aviv before she was appointed Israel's Minister of Women's Empowerment "I'm proud to be a racist!" Golan declared at one fascist rally she led Watch and ask, is this hooligan credible? @MaxBlumenthal

Israel didn't even bother painting Gaza's Indonesian Hospital as a covert Hamas base, it just bombed it to oblivion, tortured its staff and left it strewn with rotting corpses This report is one of the most gut-wrenching documents I've seen of Israel's state terror @MaxBlumenthal

It is confirmed now that Liel Hetzroni’s body was burned beyond recognition by an Israeli tank on October 7 Your maniacal army also killed her brother and great-aunt and many of her neighbors before moving on to commit genocide in Gaza https://thegrayzone.com/2023/11/25/israels-october-7-propaganda-tank-eyewitnesses/ @MaxBlumenthal

I met this man in the rubble east of Khan Younis in 2015 In this scene from our film Killing Gaza (2015), he utterly destroys the Biden administration’s proposed plan to give humanitarian aid to Gaza while giving Israel missiles to destroy it @MaxBlumenthal

Israeli govt propagandist Mark Regev confirms reporting by me and others that burned bodies presented by Tel Aviv as evidence of Hamas atrocities were in fact Hamas activists burned by Israeli hellfire missiles This also adds legitimacy to claims that many Israelis found burned beyond recognition were friendly fire victims @MaxBlumenthal

The diverse, politically progressive DC suburb of Rockville, Maryland was the site of a white supremacist hate rally Have local Montgomery County leaders been so muted in their condemnation of this rally because it was hosted by pro-Israel forces? @MaxBlumenthal

An Israeli tank commander killed while invading Gaza previously described being ordered to shell Israeli homes on October 7 in Kibbutz Be’eri His claim that he did “checks” to ensure no Israelis were inside the home does not add up. It’s increasingly clear many Israelis died from friendly fire on 10/7. theguardian.com/world/2023/nov… @MaxBlumenthal

Showing the 12 most recent of 18 posts we hold for @MaxBlumenthal. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank — 250,640 of 1,176,251entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Named by 5 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 13 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
