The missing part of this article: are the requests valid? Are they actually incitements to terrorism and violence or is it just a clamp down on criticism? The headline of the article implies the latter but the body does not provide any evidence for that.

Like there is a war going on, a pretty nasty one at that. I would expect there to be quite a lot of incitement to violence related to that. I would expect the israeli government to be mostly concerned with incitements of violence against its citizens. In the context of this conflict i would expect such incitements to be mostly be made by the demographics cited in the article due to the nature of the conflict. The article seems like it could be entirely consistent with take downs being used appropriately. It needs more then this to prove its headline.

Heck, from this post we dont even know relative numbers. How does this compare against take down requests from other groups?

Defending yourself from genocide is not terrorism

right, if you, for example, wear uniform, and if you, for example, have not started the war and didnt cause the genocide by not wearing uniform, by using civilians as human shields, and by stealing the humanitarian aid and reselling it to poor displaced civilians, that you then cynically enlist to die for your cause, because there is no other source of cash to feed your families.

you should also consider the sequence of events before using such grave accusations.

I assume you're referring to the IDF, as they are the only member of this conflict who has been recorded using civilians as human shields systematically.

The Israelis also actively prevent any aid from reaching gaza, including going so far as to attack and destroy the aid.

Maybe YOU should think before spreading Zionist(read: terrorist) propaganda.

> The Israelis also actively prevent any aid from reaching gaza

Then why is there so much aid in gaza? Israel controls gazas borders. If they didnt want aid in gaza there wouldnt be any. I just dont see how you plan to convince anyone when the thigns you are claiming are so obviously untrue

I don't know how you can extrapolate "look how generous the Israelis are" from the undeniable fact that they are blocking aid and not nearly enough is let in.

The israelis are oppressing the shit out of the palestinians. But we cant have a conversation about that if youre gonna make shit up like "Israelis also actively prevent any aid from reaching gaza" which is just obviously not true. Be honest, and if youre going to lie at least make it believable.

Smotrich is an asshole bully but that doesn’t make what he says true. I actually agree that slow rolling aid is a huge problem with the Israeli regime but they didn’t completely cut off aid

He's not the only one speaking genocidal statements.

What's the solution now though? Let them literally employ mass starvation (another one of their well documented war crimes) while the world watches?

Aid is not completely cut off because of the zionists. Check the news. War crime after war crime while the whole world watches.
