YouTube Quietly Erased More Than 700 Videos Documenting Israeli Human Rights Violations

I'm totally freaking out about this . It's like YouTube is trying to cover up some major human rights abuses in Gaza and the West Bank, and now they've deleted tons of videos documenting it . I mean, who gets to decide what information can be shared on the internet, right? The US government and Israeli officials are clearly behind this move, and it's just plain disturbing .

I'm not surprised that other human rights groups are saying that YouTube is being complicit in silencing Palestinian voices and victims . This kind of thing should never happen, especially when there are clear cases of war crimes being committed . The ICC has already issued arrest warrants for some of the people involved, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see how this all plays out .

It's also pretty sad that YouTube is following in the footsteps of the Trump administration and Israeli officials . Can't they just stick to being neutral and letting the truth come out?

This is so not cool . I mean, what's next? They're basically saying that if you're documenting human rights abuses, YouTube won't have your back . It's like they're getting paid to erase Palestinian voices and histories . The fact that Google is just going along with this is super concerning . I'm loving the "showing a little backbone" line from Sarah Leah Whitson, though . It sounds like someone's finally standing up to the powers that be . But seriously, this sets a really bad precedent for other tech companies and human rights organizations . We need to hold these companies accountable for their actions . The Intercept's reporting on the Trump admin's efforts to silence info about Israeli atrocities is some real journalism. Time to get vocal and push back against this kind of censorship .
