I guess YouTube is ok with condoning genocide then because the Israeli government sure as hell is not making any distinctions between Hamas and regular Palestinians.

Why is it when anyone criticizes Hamas, they're accused of criticizing Palestinians?
Because there are a lot of dishonest people who claim they're only criticizing Hamas, when they are actually calling for violence against all Palestinians.
"Harbu Darbu" is a perfect example of that.
From what it sounds like, the song isn't "criticizing hamas", it's celebrating the mass murder and systematic starvation of an entire ethnic group of people. That's fucked up. If isreal wasn't systematically starving an ethnic group to death and systematically murdering journalists and people providing aid, there wouldn't be much upset about isreal waging war against hamas, because then it would actually be war against hamas and not genocide of the palestinian people.
Why is it when Israel is trying to eradicate Hamas, thousands of innocent Palestinians are dead? Seems like they planned it just like the song encourages it, doesn't it?
but keep your head up yours.
There was a u.s law passed just a few months ago that makes it illegal in the u.s to talk against Israel.
There are allot of sentences stating what could be antisemitic but it's not limited to those, and theirs a specific definition it tells people to look at.
However, there are many reasons that add up to why the video may had been removed. I personally don't think there was exclusively just one specific one reason for the videos removal but a atleast a couple of leading factors.
Some examples of what might add up to why it was removed could be,
- various countries just this past year introduced various hate speech laws,
2)many countries concluded together and have a more united focus on tackling hateful speech. Trying to keep the world at a peaceful state, especially for minority groups that need these protections.
There are a few others I can't think of right this second. but all these reasons add up to the final decision for the moderation action of the video takedown.
Google and spytube both always had pro israel bias as pretty much any US business.
In fact, they are kinda required by the US Law.
Unfortunately and sadly doesn’t surprise me anymore. All big platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, Pinterest and such) are allowing hateful stuff towards Palestinian people.
However when someone criticizes Israel government and their genocide. Your comment, video or anything else gets removed within A day. Even if it is not even related to the entire thing.
I have a Pinterest account and have a Palestinian board and it got twice removed for “hate speech” while it shows nothing of hate. Merely Palestinian things such as flags, clothes, people and such.
It’s pretty obvious that social media as a whole is just a corrupt mess.
Money talks and Israel has the money, Palestine doesn't. Same as it ever was.
Unfortunately and sadly doesn’t surprise me anymore.
It shouldn't surprise you at all. Any notion of "Free Speech" on Internet Platforms was shot in the head during the Trump Presidency and then the corpse was burned at the stake during the Pandemic. There were vast quantities of myopic morons making the arguments "These are private companies, they can do what they want!" along with "You have no right to speech on someone else's platform!" simply because they approved of what was being done.
Now the arguments being used by 2017-2022 MAGAtards are being shouted by 2023-2024 Liberals / Progressives.
It’s pretty obvious that social media as a whole is just a corrupt mess.
It's pretty obvious that people are perfectly happy with restrictions on the other person but never themselves.
People forget that the restrictions they hammer the other person with today are going to be used against them tomorrow. Plan accordingly.
That's why they wanted to get rid of Tik Tok. They can't control its output as much to keep Americans within their propaganda bubble.
Gotta remember google helped build the CCP surveillance system being used to track and target weagers to send to slave labour/concentration camps and to enforce forced sterilisation.
Whatever happened to dont be evil?
weagers
never seen this spelling lol
No matter how often wannabes try to point out that companies are "independent" of the government, and time and time again events like this prove that US and its crony companies are one in the same, in bed with each other.
It's hilarious how much targeted propaganda they swallow from these "independent" big tech companies. It's working as intended.
