    Reddit, twitter, Facebook, Twitch, YouTube, tiktok and now Lemmy. I can’t think of a single social media site I’ve used in the last year that didn’t have people talking about Palestine in one way or another.

    It’s why I doubt the claim that the US government is specifically trying to ban tiktok because of the Palestine/Israel situation. They wanted TikTok gone before the October 7th 2023 attack.

    I believe it’s more likely a nation security issue being owned by a Chinese company than anything to do with Palestine whatsoever.

      This just shows that you haven’t been paying attention. Pro-palestine content is moderated off those platforms as “anti-semitic”. Raise your hand below if reddit has banned you for being anti-zionist.

        I’ve been paying attention. I could open any of those sites and find pro Palestine comments/post/content/profiles within 30 seconds.

        I would be willing to bet you got banned from reddit for just being a regular old fashioned antisemite. You can call it “anit-zionist” or whatever you want, but that is still just being antisemitic with extra mental gymnastics.

        Just because it’s not the front page of every single website known to mankind doesn’t mean pro Palestine content is being moderated off those platforms. More likely they are removing the many many pro Palestinian posts that also happen to also be antisemitic which is a lot of it.

        And before you get mad at me I’ve been blaming the Jews for all my problems since I was a kid (jokingly) because of South Park. Technically I’m quoting Cartman and I don’t actually mean any of it, but I do probably say “I blame the Jews” at least once a day.
