single event that happened years later makes no sense.

The genocide of palestinians didn't begin in 2022. And the above commenter is correct, the US wants full control of its social media in order to spread pro-US foreign policy views, and tiktok is a threat to that.

The genocide of palestinians didn't begin in 2022

Never said it did. I did say/indicate that it was never a social/political issue until 2023. Things can happen for a long time, but take a sudden change to make it a big issue.

In fact, please, I would love to see anything political about Israel/Palestine in US politics/policy attempting/intended to make Israel look better on regards to Palestine (as is implied in the article) that predates Oct 2023. As you've, and others, have pointed out (I already knew, since it dates to biblical times), that it's been an issue for so long, then this should be simple. It keeps trying to be pointed out that the Oct 2023 event seemed to mean nothing about it, so you or anyone else should have no problems with this.

Bonus points for showing how it relates to Tiktok before that date too, which again with everyone's insistence about it, should be no problems at all.
