that's what israel relies on. they gladly throw the diaspora under the bus because every antisemitic movement elsewhere helps them go "you're only safe with us"
because they don't control everything. israel is basically a vassal state to the US that the US protects for its own economic and military interests. the fact that they're jewish is incidental and the idea that they control the US rather than them being a tool of american hegemony is incorrect.
Another thing that pisses me off is the any opposition to Israeli government policies is considered antisemitism which is total BS. That's like saying opposing Italian policy is anti Catholic.
Exactly. Israel was furious and tiktok videos showed them openly threatening to kill journalists and their families if they didn’t leave.
Israel targeted journalists for that reason
AIPAC brags on their site that they own us
shit like this is why i hated biden, if aaron bushnell's account is to be believed, we weren't just sending them weapons and ignoring the genocide, bushnell claimed to be part of a team sent to help the genocide along, specifically he claimed to be part of the intel team that supported the fireteam
bushnell was so outraged by this that he made a video explaining his role in it, then lit himself ablaze while screaming free palestine
biden was an evil, vile man if he was trying to help the genocide with U.S. soldiers while trying very poorly to lie to the public about it
neither party has a soul
While I’m not on TikTok - I certainly had that thought since it’s so faux pas to have any belief or espouse that Israel is way out of bounds in the “defending itself” narrative. It’s clear they want to annihilate and murder as many Palestinians as possible. And I guess TikTok helped people see that
It's weird how much of America is focused on serving Israel.
Also, how does it not occur to you that you're having to do all this stuff to cover up for something horrid you're doing?
That said, they should've absolutely banned it. It was always obvious that Congress had the wrong internal motivations for banning it, but it should actually be banned. forever. Please.
The CCP forced TikTok leadership to spread anti Israeli propaganda which influenced young Americans to behave illogically. Other social media platforms also enable such propaganda and their leaders also shouldn’t be trusted. The future of social media feed algorithms is transparency + user choice.
Did information that would help users discern whether Trump’s or Harris’ likely policy decisions would have the most positive impact on the complex issue of Hamas’ and Israel’s war crimes also rank high?
so your problem is not that war criminals did war crimes and posted the acts and instead you take issue with it being viewed a lot? by all means nitpick me on this
there is no relevant context that makes war crimes and genocide ok. I should not know what it looks like for a man to have been handcuffed and crushed under tank treads
Users should have to pass truth corroboration tests to gain access to feed algorithms that are not subject to a government body’s thorough review and certification
I too do not like genocide (like nearly everyone). However, many people decided to vote for Trump because they don’t like genocide. How does that work?
mmmmmm. not sure. if the chinese were manipulating the algo to favor the pro-palestinian stuff, even the mislabeled videos from syrian war as gaza, and suppressing vids abt oct 7 in order to sow divisions ahead of the election, that 100% abt china.
Love how Isreal thinks it's getting a bad name from young people because of TikTok. Like, it's as if they didn't start a war. But, Isreal can do no wrong because it's the "holy land". Of course the US is gonna help Isreal. "In god we trust" has to mean something 🙄
The 'father of modern terrorism' and founder of Likud, Menachem Begin, was elected PM in 1977. Begin gifted a private jet to Jerry Falwell, to spread their fascist ideology all over the US.
Tell us something that wasn’t blatantly obvious & that anyone with a functioning brain cell didn’t know was the case. Trust that whatever the US govt is saying or who they are blaming, is all just made up to divert Americans’ eyes from the real villains & what is really happening
Yeah, no shit. It started under Trump because people were mean to him, but it passed and Biden signed it because people were using it to protest the Gaza situation. Cool country we got here.
This was know from the very beginning, not sure why “turns out” is used there. I mean, I’m a Spanish guy, living in Japan, and only following through Bluesky, and I knew that since it started.
There are people who didn't already know this!?
The Dems flip on TikTok coincided directly with a media blitz on how much pro-Palestinian content there was on the platform.
It was so blatant I thought everyone realized what was going on.
It seems possible that the initial impetus was a genuine national security threat, and the Israel stuff was a way to whip votes among skeptical congress people.
But it’s impossible to know without congress explicitly detailing the security issues.
"After decades of controlling Palestinians under occupation, Israel is unrivalled in all these spheres. It uses the occupied territories as a giant laboratory for developing and testing new ideas, technology, tactics and weaponry."
The fact that they even remotely tried to blame China as vehemently as they did proves that it was never about them. They always project onto something whenever they want to pull attention away from the real issues; quite literally a bait and switch. It just not always this obvious; we all knew.
The real spoiler here is that Israel liked the PR that their own genocidal forces were sharing on TikTok. They just didn't like domestic propaganda getting out to the rest of the world who would see them as monsters.
Why else wouldn't they stop their own troops from uploading it?
I mean, GOP senators were openly saying they needed to ban TikTok because there were too many pro-Palestinian accounts on it, so this isn’t really a surprise
Because he's just an establishment Democrat. This country loves Israel and the entire party will always support them. They put a lot of work behind the scenes to enforce the status quo about this.
they don't actually lose personally if they lose elections, they stay in the party and often even keep their seats, but they stand to lose a lot if they stop supporting israel
they've learned that primaries are the only real losses for them
This said it better than I would have. They support it because they perceive themselves as gaining more from doing so.
The best you're going to get are some vocal nudges from progressive-types, but they'll be quelled by Pelosi-types. We are a long way away from either party not supporting Israel.
Every Tik Tok user knew this was the case. They were also killing every Palestinian influencer who posted to the site, but whether that was intentional or more wanton mass slaughter I don't know.
Tiktok is obviously riddled with pro terrorist jew hating propaganda but i think Warner is distracting from the reality that they wanted a US owner to control the youth vote going forward, as the free pali campaign was so successful

I hope they’re not paying you too many of my tax dollars to sit at your desk and give this kinda performance.

"You know I hate to say, but, I told you so"

Less support for Islamic terrorists dedicated to the murder of all Jews everywhere and taking their land is a GOOD thing.
That said, they should've absolutely banned it. It was always obvious that Congress had the wrong internal motivations for banning it, but it should actually be banned. forever. Please.
It always was.
This is not my usual source for news but I already know this happened so... https://newrepublic.com/post/181327/mitt-romney-congress-ban-tiktok-israel-gaza
2. It's not Just about Palestine, It's about restricting peoples access to REAL free speech

People don't know. So circulate it.
I remember hearing complaints abt how "anti-isreal"/"anti-semetic" tik tok was bc ppl wld share whats happening on tik tok
Why else wouldn't they stop their own troops from uploading it?
But he was a wimp on this issue, you are correct about that. He had enough sense to try to politely thread a needle, but clearly it didn’t work.
I understand the optics and the even the politics, but why hand your murderer the loaded gun?
