If this is not right-wing authoritarianism, what is? Russiagate was the beginning of all of this. It has been wildly successful in conditioning the mass audience in the West to accept "state lines" on a variety of subjects pushed by the ruling classes. https://t.co/QGPaO6O8oW

I worked for 2 years as a reporter in the West Bank. I called the IDF daily for comment.

They frequently denied events I had seen with my own eyes.

When I pushed back, they’d retract the denial, “look into it,” then follow up with the same line about “neutralizing terrorists.” https://t.co/duDMHboi2k

The “blast”? I guess that’s the new Democratic code word for horrific Israeli airstrike. How about calling for a ceasefire, @SenWarren ??? https://t.co/cIxvFch6sF

They can play this game because the U.S. press will play along. This is one of the consequences of not having a free press. https://t.co/iFbJejPWoh

YouTube just demonetized my channel.

Giving context to conflicts is apparently "terrorism".

Why do you punish journalists for simply doing their jobs? @YouTube @TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators

This is the second time, and both times I severely criticized Israel. How bizarre. pic.twitter.com/3bD9MVCGUL

.@HananyaNaftali proudly boasted that Israel bombed Gaza’s ah-Ahli hospital before deleting and two minutes later lying that Hamas did it. He works directly under Netanyahu. pic.twitter.com/6QVS9ZoZhk

Israeli military is calling journalists in Gaza to threaten their lives.

They’ve already killed 10. How many more? pic.twitter.com/d1CmkaVA4A

All of this started during Russiagate where the public was prepared to accept state/corporate capitalist censorship of news & information. Now there are no restraints. Either tow the state line or be shut down. https://t.co/yCKjA0t7Ty

After over 15 years of having a Youtube account, now, while Israel is genociding Palestinians, Youtube has suddenly closed my account completely.

This is not coincidental. I had many videos which I took in Gaza, under Israel's bombs in 2009 & 2012... pic.twitter.com/Tn39HQgfCc

Quds News Network, one of the largest outlets reporting on Palestine, condemns Meta's (Facebook, Instagram) removal of its pages, citing bias in favor of the Israeli government and a violation of Palestinian freedom of expression.

Countless western journalists who attempt to hold Israel accountable have been fired. This sets a chilling example for others, who understand that calling for a free Palestine is a red line. pic.twitter.com/VwKCYBOeJM

The worse Israel's crimes become, the more Israel targets the press and works to restrict information flow from Gaza by cutting off electricity and internet access. The worse Israel makes itself look, the more vitriolic ad hominems Israel apologists begin flinging at those who…

A short 🧵:

The Israeli military is taking foreign press on "tours" of sites where Israelis were killed. Israeli media reported that only international outlets have been allowed on these govt-sponsored tours, no local media has even been allowed to approach. /1 pic.twitter.com/xQ7KiGHCbT

After seeing how social media companies are allowing people to call for the death of Palestinians and spread disinformation regarding beheaded babies, just note that fighting “disinformation” and “hate speech” was never to prevent any of these things

It was to stop criticism of…
