    Imagine how much longer they could’ve kept the whole thing going if not for social media. If people were only exposed to the mainstream news narrative, we wouldn’t even know there was a genocide going on right now.

      And would you imagine that, all of a sudden every nation wants to gatekeep social media with online ids. What a coincidence…

      I would not call 2 incidental interviews proof of change.
      They are drowning in a sea of much larger MSM outlets pushing the genocider propaganda, unfortunately.
      Sparsely allowing a critical view might as well be intentional to uphold an image of neutral and objective news.

      And yes social media did its part.
      But just as the MSM the US regime and zionists make shure they can control the narrative there too.
      As happened with Facebook, Reddit, X, and others if they can reach a large audience.

      The best example and directly related to Palestine is the takeover of Tiktok.
      The news on Palestine was prominent and uncensored.
      Since it was Chinese owned it was a nightmare for the US/zio regime.

      It was the zioscum like ADL Greenblatt “we really have a Tiktok problem” and others who got the US regime to take action against it.
      And this ghoul is also a marvelous example.

      And this is the result

        I think the fact that these kinds of interviews are happening at all is significant. While they’re doing everything they can to suppress this, the public opinion is not really going along with the narrative. And that creates a dilemma for them. Either they continue to deny the genocide and continue losing credibility or they have to start discussing it however tepidly.

          IMO it is only significant if a significant portion of the MSM does this.
          I hope they will but I’m sceptical about it.
          When you say they worry about losing credibility it is more or less the same as my comment saying they are doing it to maintain the illusion of neutrality.
          My guess is they will only moderately allow it, just enough to placate the public opinion and have them not lose faith in their ‘news’
          As long as the US regime supports the genocider regime the vast majority of news will continue to reflect that.

            It’s not going to happen overnight, but if they continue to ignore this then people become more and more disillusioned. A lot of people already have lost faith in mainstream outlets, so there could just be a collapse in public trust. And there’s a greater context for this too because the standard of living is collapsing at the same time. So, people see their lives get worse, they see the media talk about how great DOW is doing, and then they start connecting things and realizing they live in a house of mirrors.

      I’ve thought about this a lot. There are plenty of things to blame social media for but I still there’s there’s a net positive when you consider being able to quickly share information and all the exposure to people from different cultures, religions, and ethnicities.

        Well, we’re on federated social media here so it doesn’t apply here, but the big tech owned social media certainly can suppress things they don’t want spread.

      That’s a mask off moment.
      Zionists only care about themselves and their genocider country.
      They don’t care about antisemitism since they despise jews that don’t want to live in israhell.

      Maybe if Israel stopped butchering people in massive numbers there wouldn’t be such a bias against them. Doesn’t take a large brain to figure that out.

        It’s not “bias”

        Israel literally shoots babies and children for fun.

        They are committing genocide.

        They have rape prisons.

        They have attacked all of their neighbors, and other countries not directly bordering them.

        They are currently attacking Lebanon with thousands of bombs, during a ceasefire, stealing ten percent of the country while claiming it is “self defense”

        They’ve destroyed entire Christian and Muslim villages in Lebanon.

        They’ve killed more journalists than all the other countries combined during the time these stats have been measured.

        They’ve occupied Gaza and the West Bank for over 50 years.

        They harbor Pedophiles.

        Anyone who supports the current Israeli government is literal scum. There’s nothing to debate.

      “What I really felt was most disturbing as a Jewish president, but also somebody who cares personally a lot about the issues that were being discussed, is the level of ignorance among people on all sides of this issue,” he said.

      Of course

    “Zionism is not reformable. The state of Israel is, but the state of Israel has to be reinvented… and it cannot be reinvented according to this ethno-national principle that has taken a hold of it. What Israel needs right now is shock therapy.”

    A few well-aimed bombs ought to fix it.
