My apologies, I got the Asian countries all jumbled up in my head. The CEO of TikTok is from Singapore, but the parent company of TikTok (ByteDance) is Chinese.

So throw in a layer of national security concerns and it makes far more logical sense why they want to have China sell the US side of TikTok to an American owned company.

I still don't think the Palestine situation has much of anything to do with what's going on with the US governments distain for TikTok. They didn't like it way before the Israel/Palestine situation kicked off again.
