At this point America is censoring a Genocide which puts them exactly where China and Iran are.

And the WMD's in Iraq of course which killed millions of Iraqis and turned out to be a complete lie.

The only difference is that you believe there's a difference.

I literally see post about the Genocide all the time and not just on Lemmy. So is the government censoring that? Is it?

You're talking about genocide right now? Government came and got you, did it?

Seriously, nothing is stopping people from talking about it, sharing information, or providing claims it's happening or proof. If you're suggesting platforms are taking that info off their servers, I am just gonna say that social media is awash with videos, articles, and claims. Those platforms may remove data that violates their EULA, or would leave them open to litigation which makes sense. You wouldn't make the claim that they're censoring the war on Ukraine. But violent video of first hand accounts have absolutely been removed from social media. The same happened in Yemen, Iran, and half a dozen other war torn countries including several African countries.

I don't agree with the US providing weapons or support to Israel. I don't disagree that genocide is happening in Gaza. I am not Pro Israel. I absolutely believe that Israel is actively violating the Geneva convention and committing crimes against noncombatants and people who have nothing to do with any terrorist activity.

But I also agree that Hamas is a terrorist group. And unfortunately that's just how any group of anti-government freedom fighters who attack their governments are labelled. It's been this way throughout history. The American side of the revolutionary war? They were terrorists. The victors write the history books everywhere.

And hiding in schools, places of worship, and hospitals and getting innocent people killed because those are losses you're willing to allow? That's terrorist behaviour. What is happening is absolutely unconscionable. From both sides. Hamas has its fair share of atrocities. To them, that's the price of freedom.
