Eh 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.

It seems to me this just moves the problem, because then we'd be having discussions about how this stuff is wrongly tagged, no? Also who does the tagging? Random users? See how well that will work.

And I'm fairly certain Twitter still removes stuff? If I post "gas the Jews" or "gas the Arabs" I wouldn't expect that to stay up?

I'm not sure it's possible to look at what Israel is doing and say it's not terror. So, charitably, I guess you're saying the IDF is not an organization?

It is possible. Now what?

IDF is a real military with rules of engagement and target selection. If you say indiscriminate bombing, no this is not. WW2 and Korean War was.

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 pow…

There was a post upvoted highly at the beginning of this current war, by scholar opinions about the situation in Palestine but it was removed completely, not just flagged or deleted. But full removal which I've not observed before on HN.

It was something like this https://opiniojuris.org/2023/10/18/public-statement-scholars...

HN claims they are different but they sensor more than Reddit, where at least have to be astroturfed with a majority.

Do you have a better translation ? Genuinely curious.

Anyway it fits what you can read in more reputable sources such as https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/sep/12/oslo-i... (litteraly written by an osraeli)

> Is Hamas Ok with two states?

No. And some argue thats precisely why Netanyahu helped them get financed to have a scary enemy and play the security card while pursuing a territorial war instead of working for actual peace.

Thats not my opinion. Thats what she israeli left wing is accusing him of : https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-10-11/ty-article/.p...
