The thing about libel is it has to be untrue.
A Jewish baby born today in a West Bank community will have full rights in Israel, a vote in national elections, and access to civilian courts; a Palestinian baby born in that same community will have no democratic rights, tight restrictions on their movement, frequent harassment from settlers, and no access to justice beyond what Israel’s unaccountable military courts mete out.

@tubby_blumkins@SilentSkyZero@DeathMetalV Once you make a video like that it’s not just an attack on a particular influencer it’s an attack on all of us. Pretending to seem reasonable won’t change the minds of people like this.
