@Migueldeicaza at least in the Netherrlands there has always been this smokescreen in the media of “don’t say anything about this. it’s too complicated and you’ll say something wrong. I guess we will never know who’s right”.

young people today don’t watch traditional media and see this shit for what it is.

November 2023, 3 months before Congress drops the “TikTok is a danger to national security” we had this audio leaked:

Addendum: it is not a complex problem.

It is just a battle over taking the land that belonged to someone else and the ramifications of that.

@Migueldeicaza any book recommendation? I think that you posted (or retweeted) a thread on Twitter back in the old days 🤔

Migueldeicaza, 2 months ago

@rabc this is the thread:

But happy to provide guidance if you have a specific area you want to learn about.

One guy that provides a great intro to various subjects is Zachary Foster on Twitter and his blog. Strongly recommended.

Migueldeicaza, 2 months ago

@st3fan basically. There is leaked audio from the Israeli lobby complaining that they are losing the PR war on TikTok

Let me find it

@st3fan yeah, look at the date, it predates the new TikTok ban:

@Migueldeicaza It's not surprising that there's powerful interests which want to see TikTok banned

Migueldeicaza, 2 months ago

@thomasfuchs never a doubt in my mind this was at the core of it

@Migueldeicaza seriously? I dont use Tik Tok so I dont have much idea about it but I guess I assumed that was not the kind of thing to find on there

Migueldeicaza, 2 months ago

@Migueldeicaza btw, there was an excellent non-fiction graphic novel about it all by a guy named Joe Sacco - simply titled "Palestine". Its from 1991/92 but a nice personal reflection. I think about that one a lot lately

@dcm yes, I have read it. He has also a companion one on Gaza
