The entire point of Zionism is to convince Jewish people to move to Israel, they weren't "cleansed" from their countries of origin. Ashkenazi Jews are from Europe, they invaded, actually ethnically cleansed and oppressed Palestine.

Palestine was invaded by terrorists from Europe who ethically cleansed the land (and continue to do so). They didn't "start a genocidal war".

No, they did however increase engagement in democracy in a very dramatic fashion. More people making demands from their government is a good thing.

TikTok has to adhere to the exact same laws as Facebook and Twitter, foreign ownership doesn't change that.

Adversarial to whom? Not me, I'm far more concerned about the US government who in this case is directly limiting my choices as a US citizen.

A human is not a bot. In addition to being dehumanizing, it removes agency to say that.

How is it a botnet? Apple isn't going to allow botnet like behavior in any app it approves in the app store.

It's no worse that what Facebook or Twitter does (or has done). I would prefer to have a plurality of options and not be limited to apps that are owned by countries the US deems "allies".

I want to use TikTok as it exists today. Why should that right be taken away from me by the US government? This is going to have major political backlash from the millions of people happy with TikTok if they manage to pass it.

I don’t believe there was any sexual assault. There’s precedent for this type of armed resistance. The Haitian Slave Revolt and the Pueblo Revolt are both very similar. I think Oct 7th was justified, I don’t want to litigate it here though. This will be my last comment, I just want to state what a lot of people are thinking so it’s not misrepresented. I know many people here won’t agree.

Things like calling the Palestinians “amalek”, carving the Star of David into a playground with bulldozers, IDF soldiers taking about fulfilling prophecy…

I don’t think anyone forgot. A lot of people think Israel caused this with Nakba and their actions since then. I don’t want to start a flamewar, I just don’t think people forgot, they’re just not on Israel’s side.

Why would Hamas want to help the Israeli economy?

Zionists have literally worked with Nazis to further the goals of Zionism. Look at the Haavara Agreement.

Politics came to the tech community in the form of Israeli manipulation of tech platforms and militant, blacklisting Zionism from the VCs. Israel caused this.

This article leaves out why he was being protested. Matisyahu was giving concerts to IDF while they were terrorizing Gaza:

Because they’re full of Zionist content and absolutely no one has complained about being censored for being a Zionist.

But there’s no censorship of Zionist content on any platform.

You can be both. Zionism tries to speak for all Jewish people, which is antisemitism. There’s also a right wing contingent that wants to expel Jewish people from their country into Israel. Early Zionists even worked with Nazis to make this happen:

What were the images of? Why doesn't the Guardian describe them instead of just putting in a bunch of weasel words.

> the Guardian itself is regularly accused of having anti-Israel bias

That's definitely not been the case since Oct 7th. They've been extremely pro-Israel, just like all of the MSM.

> Hamas and the Israeli right wing both agree that the only viable solution is for one ethnic group to control all the land from the river to the sea.

That's certainly not what I want and from what I gather also not what Hamas wants. They just want Palestinians to have full human rights on their land, from the river to the sea. They don't want to eradicate anyone, they just don't want to live as second class citizens. Just like how dismantling South Africa did not require genociding the Afrikaners.

It's not "hate speech" to call to the end of an apartheid government.

It's probably the clearest example of an apartheid state that exists today.

You're making a lot of assumptions about my position. I most certainly do think we owe both indigenous people and Black people massive amounts of land reparations in the US.

Israel can be disbanded just like South Africa was disbanded. It has less support than ever before politically.
