At least #Perplexity got one thing right:

-----
Multiple #independent #investigations and #leaked #internal #data confirm that #SocialMedia platforms—especially #Meta (#Facebook and #Instagram)—have engaged in #widespread, #systematic #censorship of #pro-Palestinian #content, often in direct response to #Israeli #government #requests[1][2][3][4][6][7]. This censorship has resulted in the #removal, #suppression, or #shadowbanning of tens of thousands of #posts and #accounts, with a disproportionate impact on users from Arab and Muslim-majority countries, but also affecting users worldwide[2][3][4][6].

Key points from the evidence:

- Meta has complied with 94% of Israeli government takedown requests since October 7, 2023, resulting in over 90,000 immediate removals and the suppression of millions more posts through automated systems[2][3][4][6].
- The vast majority of these requests targeted #content #critical of #Israel or #supportive of #Palestinians, and only a tiny fraction targeted Israeli users[3][6].
- #HumanRightsWatch and other NGOs have documented this as a #global, #systemic pattern of #censorship, not isolated incidents[1][5][7].
- There is no comparable evidence of systematic censorship or suspension for users expressing pro-Israeli views; the #documented #bias overwhelmingly targets pro-Palestinian speech[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].

In summary, the documented reality is that pro-Palestinian views are aggressively censored on major social media sites, while pro-Israeli views do not face the same level of moderation or suppression. This creates a significant imbalance in the digital public sphere[1][2][3][4][6][7].

Human Rights Watch · Meta’s Broken PromisesThe 51-page report, “Meta’s Broken Promises: Systemic Censorship of Palestine Content on Instagram and Facebook,” documents a pattern of undue removal and suppression of protected speech including peaceful expression in support of Palestine and public debate about Palestinian human rights. Human Rights Watch found that the problem stems from flawed Meta policies and their inconsistent and erroneous implementation, overreliance on automated tools to moderate content, and undue government influence over content removals.

Despair in Gaza as #Israeli aid blockade creates crisis ‘unmatched in severity’

Palestinians pushed into new misery as supplies of food, fuel and medicine run out in seven-week siege

Bethan McKernan in Jerusalem
Sat 19 Apr 2025 12.54 EDT

"...Israel appears confident that it can maintain the siege with little international pushback.

It is also moving ahead with large-scale seizures of #Palestinian land for security buffer zones, and plans to shift control of aid delivery to the army and private contractors, exacerbating fears in #Gaza that #Israel intends to maintain boots on the ground in the territory long-term and permanently displace its residents."

#HussamAbuSafiya's 'inhumane conditions' in #Israeli detention worsening #Gaza hospital director's lawyer says

#Palestinian prisoners are forced to take part in acts that would be 'morally denounced worldwide'

""As rights advocates and lawyers, we are ashamed to even talk about the levels of torture happening," she said, citing stomping on faces, humiliation and forced consumption of sewage water as some of the lighter treatment Palestinians face.

"Their honour is stepped on every day, every minute. Their mistreatment is incredibly horrible.""

I was wondering how many #Israeli’s have dual citizenship.

Disclosure: as a 7 th generation Australian who has no country to ‘go back to’ I actually don’t think we should allow dual citizenship. I started thinking this during the Croatian war. I know many people have them and like them so it is a personal opinion.

@sinabhfuil it's very hard to know how we can stop this. Our "democratic" governments are not listening to us. The "rules based international order" is not executing the arrest warrants against those responsible for the #Israeli #Genocide.

For most of us, all we can do is protest... And be ignored.

While in #Gaza, the massacre continues.

"Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital, is enduring severe mistreatment and torture in Israeli detention, where he's being held under unsubstantiated claims of Hamas affiliation"
His crime? "solely acting as a pediatrician, performing his medical duties under moral and professional obligations to care for patients and the wounded"
