Quote from: Oliver the Second on March 14, 2024, 06:34:49 PMI heard most young kids on TikTok are pro-Palestinian which Israel doesn't like and Israel is the one pressuring Biden to shut it down.

I'm sure they're adding their voices to the mix but primarily it's just the only huge social media platform that isn't already under the direct supervision/control of the 'Murican security state apparatus.

The USA and its NATO allies have plans to provoke a war with China sooner rather than later so even more important than public sentiment about a genocide most already dislike anyway they need to block or control information coming directly from China in order to wage the narrative part of that war.

They did the same thing when they forced RT-America off of providers like DirecTV and platforms like YouTube. That was to prevent anyone in 'Murica from hearing the Russian side of the Ukraine story and is also why they freaked the fuck out when Tucker Carlson went and talked to Vladdy without their approval.

Control freaks gonna try to control freak.

Quote from: Thiel on March 14, 2024, 07:11:34 PMMost young people are leftists, and leftists are anti Israel.

In my experience they're anti-zionist, not anti Israel as such and not anti Jewish.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on March 14, 2024, 12:36:40 PMThe Biden team must have been afraid too many younger constituents would hold their noses and vote for #GenocideJoe in November so to send them running away again they decided to ban TikTok.

It's the only explanation that makes any sense.

Aint it screwed up. That would be the modern version of prohibition.

What is zionism? It is Israeli nationalism/patriotism no?

At its core, Zionism is the goal for a jewish state for jewish people.

Every race should have their own space, especially and including white people. There shouldnt be hoards of non whites in europe. America is a melting pot and one of several exceptions. China should be for chanks. The dutch should GTFO of S. Africa and more importantly, EUROPEAN countries should welcome those whites back, even if it means exchanging blacks in Europe 1:1. I personally believe muhzies dont belong on the planet but they sure AF should be excluded from EVERY western country EVEN IF THEY ARE WHITE MUHZIES!!!!

Nothing I say matters though so get ready for a world wide holocaust. I buy guns, ammo, non perishables, etc.

Zionism is another word for nationalism, but used exclusively for Israel.

It's a political philosophy founded in violent supremacist ideology. It is foundationally a settler/colonial enterprise that espouses jewish supremacy over all other peoples and holds particular hatred for any non-jews within what they envision as "greater Israel", which encompasses not just the present-day borders of Israel and the occupied territories but swathes of neighboring nations as well.

The apartheid is baked in.
The genocidal intent is baked in.
The ethno-supremacism is baked in.

It's a poisonous ideology and the world will be better off without it.

I would argue that Zionism at least in the religious sense ended in 1948 with the founding of the Jewish state. Land disputes between Israel and the Palestinian territories are similar to those between Russia and Ukraine or China and India.

Israeli nationalism does not appear any different to nationalism anywhere around the world. At least the kind with land disputes involved. Oh there is one difference, there is a large elected opposition to nationalism in Israel.

Them jews have 2 choices:
1. Allow palitrashians to establish their own nation again from which they will launch a like attack in 20 or less years.
2. Exterminate palitrashians and allow their smouldering ruins be a warning to other muhzie filth what they'll get when they fuk with the jews.

FYI, the One and Only God seethes with rage and hate at any peoples that try to eject His Chosen from their land.

Ukraine and Russia are two completely separate countries.
China and India are two completely separate countries.

In each case they both have their own sovereignty and their own army, navy, air force, etc.

The Palestinians in Gaza and the west bank have no sovereignty demonstrated by Israel's ability to restrict their movement, the fact that Israel can and does deny them electricity and water and food and medicine. Palestinians are a population living within what Israel consider its borders who do not have the same rights as other Israelis or any rights at all if the IOF or a settler mob decides to harrass, displace, or even kill them.

That's got nothing to do with judaism. Obviously it doesn't or there wouldn't be so many jewish people standing with the Palestinians against apartheid and genocide.

It's zionism and zionism merely perverts judaism to use as a shield the same way supremacist and theocratic groups in 'Murica hide behind christianity.

Speaking of christians there are probably more christian zionists in 'Murica than there are jews in Israel. That's because zionism isn't about religion... it's a violent settler-colonial supremacist political ideology.

Our government is damn sure chock full of both jewish and christian zionists, including Biden himself.

139 states recognize the sovereignty of Palestine. They have observer status at the UN.

Taiwan has an armed forces, but can't even get observer status at the WHO.

Some strong opinions here. I will be honest with you, foreign affairs is not my specialty. I am more comfortable discussing the economy, taxation, regulations etc.

We used to have a poster here, CC, she liked these topics too. I will defer to others to offer a rebuttal.

Biden's job approval rating is more than 15 points underwater, in a dangerous territory where one-term presidents reside. A significant majority of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, and they not only do not believe Biden that will turn it around, but they believe he is the reason it's headed in the wrong direction in the first place.

He's fucked. If he were to win, it would only be via a SECOND cheated election.

And then there are the third party candidates. RFK Jr seems to be hurting Biden more than Trump.
