The Official Israel-Gaza Thread
Status quo, personal wealth, getting to virtue signal that he's on the "winning team".
lol, there's a lot of those types on this board.
I doubt that, no one who gave a shyt about their personal political prospects would be dumb enough to post here, not even under an alias.
That's one of the most heart-breaking videos I've seen. And not at all isolated. Remember this chart?
Those #'s only go up to the beginning of 2022, but it's only continued since then. As of early September, 45 Palestinian children had already been killed by Israeli forces so far this year, before this conflict even began. Now they're saying that over 4,500 Palestinian children have been killed in the new Israel attack, as opposed to 29 Isareli children that were killed in the Hamas attack.

TikTok ‘aggressively’ removing content praising Osama bin Laden after letter goes viral

The social media platform TikTok said it is “aggressively” removing content that praises Osama bin Laden’s 2002 “Letter to America.”
The letter, published about a year after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, was bin Laden’s attempt to justify the targeting and killing of American civilians. It has been recirculating online recently.
Bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces in 2011.
Many videos supported bin Laden’s argument and urged others to read the letter in the wake of the United States’s support for Israel in its war against Hamas.
“Content promoting this letter clearly violates our rules on supporting any form of terrorism,” TikTok Policy posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “We are proactively and aggressively removing this content and investigating how it got onto our platform.”
TikTok said the number of videos supporting bin Laden’s message is small, although some videos have reportedly received hundreds of thousands of views and thousands of likes.
“This is not unique to TikTok and has appeared across multiple platforms and the media,” the post said.
In the post, “the media” references frustration from users aimed at The Guardian, which released a statement Wednesday that it removed a “previously displayed document” that contained the translated version of bin Laden’s letter.
The news organization said it published the letter the same day that bin Laden released it — Nov. 24, 2002 — and removed it Wednesday after the transcript had been “widely shared on social media without the full context.”
“Therefore we decided to take it down and direct readers instead to the news article that originally contextualized it,” The Guardian’s statement said.
The letter is a critique of American foreign policy and contains antisemitic and violent language. It criticizes American support for Israel’s occupation of Palestine.
TikTok is an app that is widely popular with young Americans, many of whom were born after the 9/11 attacks.
A nationwide poll released Thursday by Quinnipiac University, found that among voters aged 18-34, sympathy for Israelis sank from last month. About half — 52 percent — of young voters said their sympathies lie more with the Palestinians, a significant reversal from an October poll when more said they supported Israelis than Palestinians.

A score of Jewish celebrities are criticizing TikTok following a surge of antisemitic rhetoric going viral on the social media app following Hamas‘ Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel, which has culminated in some young people supporting 9/11 terror leader Osama bin Laden.
According to The New York Times, more than 30 influential people — including Sacha Baron Cohen, Debra Messing and Amy Schumer — had an impassioned 90-minute video call with TikTok executives earlier in the week.
“What is happening at TikTok is it is creating the biggest antisemitic movement since the Nazis,” Cohen declared on the call, according to a video of the exchange. “Shame on you.” The Borat creator added that the service could “flip a switch” to silence such videos, and noted, “If you think back to Oct. 7, the reason why Hamas were able to behead young people and rape women was they were fed images from when they were small kids that led them to hate.”
One TikTok executive, Adam Presser, the head of operations who is also Jewish, admitted, “Obviously a lot of what Sacha says, there’s truth to that,” though he also said there wasn’t a “magic button” that would fix all the issues.
He also seemed to defend the use of the pro-Palestine protest anthem “from to the river to the sea,” which is widely considered a call to annihilate Israel and its people. When Presser said that this was a matter of interpretation and the phrase was being used “casually,” Messing reportedly pushed back.
“It is much more responsible to bar it at this juncture than to say, ‘Oh, well, some people, they use it in a different way than it actually was created to mean,'” she said. “I understand that you are in a very, very difficult and complicated place, but you also are the main platform for the dissemination of Jew hate.”
TikTok has now deleted a recent viral video of a teen reading bin Laden’s 2002 “Letter to America,” which is full of antisemitic statements and seeks to justify the 9/11 terror attack that murdered nearly 3,000 people and injured 6,000 more and is the worst homeland attack in U.S. history.
“We recognize this is an incredibly difficult and fearful time for millions of people around the world and in our TikTok community,” the company has said. “Our leadership has been meeting with creators, civil society, human rights experts and stakeholders to listen to their experiences and feedback on how TikTok can remain a place for community, discovery and sharing authentically.”
