By what definition?
For Hamas being one: basically the entire Western world (Canada, US, UK, EU, Japan, Australia) has declared them as one. For the IDF not being one: literally no country, not even Iran, has declared them as one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_designated_terrorist_g...

#173Eh this is really tricky, for exampe if I open instagram, Threads or tiktok 9/10 posts will be pro-palestinian with 1 being pro-israeli. Then some of the propalestinian post will be calling for genocide or celebrating the massacre of oct 7. IMO you shouldn't censor anything. That's the only solution. When something is propaganda or false just quickly tag it as such with why it is false like Xitter does.
Twitter has surprisingly become much better since Elon purchased it. The community tags are great and non-partisan, they fairly report on all inaccuracy. Even advertisers aren’t immune, I’ve seen community tags on paid ads calling them out for being drop shippers.

#175At the beginning of the conflict I noticed my feed was fully leaning towards supporting Israel, even if it was only the posts of 3 people. Somehow the 30+ people demanding the stop to the bombing of civilians didn't really start appearing until late November. They were posting the entire time, but Meta's algorithm decided not to show it to me.

Please stop taking HN threads further into flamewar. Your account has a long history of doing this, and we've warned you many times. To continue doing it is not ok, and on this topic least of all.

Is every country in the world wrong? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_designated_terrorist_g... doesn't have a single country that calls the IDF a terror organization.
Countries are careful about calling other countries terror organisations. That's a weak argument. To convince me, you have to argue that their actions aren't terroristic. Usually, you can argue that a state's actions aren't "terrorism" because most definitions of "terrorism" involve the requirement that the action is illegal. But saying that the IDF is regularly committing war crimes isn't even controversial at this…

Even the Pope called them terrorists. They were literally funded by two terrorists organizations (Irgun and Lehi). And over the past 70 years their main occupation has been the terrorizing of the few remaining Palestinians. How more plainly terroristic do you have to be? And now they are here on HN funding posts like yours trying to justify the mass murder of children and women as a form of collective punishment. May…

Heres the vidéo where Netanyahou brags that his strategy is to hurt palestinian (civilians) as hard as possible Into submission, and that hé was negociating the peace accords in Bad faith : https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=8997844...

> Heres the vidéo where Netanyahou brags that his strategy is to hurt palestinian (civilians) More context: per some video from 2001 according to translation from Turkish regime propaganda broadcaster. > At thé end of the day most israelis would be fine with a two state solution Is Hamas Ok with two states?
Israel has repeatedly blocked the 2 state solution. Even Rabin’s stance was “the Palestinians should have something but something less than full statehood”
Israel encouraged Hamas by allowing Qatari support in to Gaza with the intent of keeping Gaza and the West Bank
Finally the Hamas charter was amended and no longer calls for the destruction of Israel.
In any case Israel (with the support of the US) has all the power in this conflict and they are the ones actually killing tens of thousands of innocents no matter what Hamas’ official position is.

Notably, Community Notes (formerly Birdwatch) was released in Jan 2021. Elon just flipped the feature flag.

I am a puppet for Hamas, because I say killing of children is bad and the IDF should not give up restraint while operating in densely populated ares? Ok then, I got your opinion. But in my world, things are not so black and white.
