    Yes because nobody is talking about the Palestine/Israel situation on any other social media platforms. /s

    But are they?

    I know they are on Fediverse sites, but is it really being discussed on Twitter and Facebook?

      Reddit, twitter, Facebook, Twitch, YouTube, tiktok and now Lemmy. I can’t think of a single social media site I’ve used in the last year that didn’t have people talking about Palestine in one way or another.

      It’s why I doubt the claim that the US government is specifically trying to ban tiktok because of the Palestine/Israel situation. They wanted TikTok gone before the October 7th 2023 attack.

      I believe it’s more likely a nation security issue being owned by a Chinese company than anything to do with Palestine whatsoever.

        This just shows that you haven’t been paying attention. Pro-palestine content is moderated off those platforms as “anti-semitic”. Raise your hand below if reddit has banned you for being anti-zionist.

      The /s at the end means he was being sarcastic.

      But truthfully, there are some places (such as isolated bubbles on Facebook, I would expect) where people honestly believe that opposition to Israel is based on antisemitism, being unaware of the genocide.

        Right, which leads me to believe that they are implying that people are talking about the Palestine / Israel situation on other platforms.

        I don’t go on FB often, but when I do I never see anything on there about Israel. I never go on Twitter, but from what I’ve heard any mention of genocide is met with accusations of antisemitism and the conversation is shut down.
