The entire point of Zionism is to convince Jewish people to move to Israel, they weren't "cleansed" from their countries of origin. Ashkenazi Jews are from Europe, they invaded, actually ethnically cleansed and oppressed Palestine.

Palestine was invaded by terrorists from Europe who ethically cleansed the land (and continue to do so). They didn't "start a genocidal war".

No, they did however increase engagement in democracy in a very dramatic fashion. More people making demands from their government is a good thing.

TikTok has to adhere to the exact same laws as Facebook and Twitter, foreign ownership doesn't change that.

Adversarial to whom? Not me, I'm far more concerned about the US government who in this case is directly limiting my choices as a US citizen.

A human is not a bot. In addition to being dehumanizing, it removes agency to say that.

How is it a botnet? Apple isn't going to allow botnet like behavior in any app it approves in the app store.

It's no worse that what Facebook or Twitter does (or has done). I would prefer to have a plurality of options and not be limited to apps that are owned by countries the US deems "allies".

I want to use TikTok as it exists today. Why should that right be taken away from me by the US government? This is going to have major political backlash from the millions of people happy with TikTok if they manage to pass it.

I don’t believe there was any sexual assault. There’s precedent for this type of armed resistance. The Haitian Slave Revolt and the Pueblo Revolt are both very similar. I think Oct 7th was justified, I don’t want to litigate it here though. This will be my last comment, I just want to state what a lot of people are thinking so it’s not misrepresented. I know many people here won’t agree.

Things like calling the Palestinians “amalek”, carving the Star of David into a playground with bulldozers, IDF soldiers taking about fulfilling prophecy…

I don’t think anyone forgot. A lot of people think Israel caused this with Nakba and their actions since then. I don’t want to start a flamewar, I just don’t think people forgot, they’re just not on Israel’s side.
