There is disinformation on TikTok. There are white supremacists and antisemites that take every Israeli conflict as an opportunity to spread their hate. This is true.

What is also true is that you can clearly see Israel conducting a genocide live, while every news outlet in the west denies it or justifies it.

I am not talking about fake news, I am talking about citizen journalists, footage of children who have been pulled out of rubble. Footage of leaflets dropped on a column of refugees. The civilian death tolls that the US confirms themselves. The harder Israel denies their atrocities, the stronger the backlash becomes when people see the truth with their own eyes.

Israel's far right and Netanyahu bear a huge amount of blame for the rise of antisemitism, because they point to these atrocities and say "this is what Jewish people globally stand for".

Are you sure you can see this genocide? Remember when there was footage of Israeli bulldozers crushing people and it turned out to be footage of Egypt from 2014? Just because some social media account says what you’re seeing is the truth doesn’t make it so.

> Are you sure you can see this genocide?

Yes, I make sure that I have verified that what I am seeing is real. I immediately do a fact check. I read Haaretz because if Israeli media is confirming it then it is undoubtedly real.

So many people ask "how could people have just let this happen" with respect to the Holocaust. This is how. They didn't want to believe it. Or they justified it. Or they were more worried about other things.

Maybe you should re-examine your biases.
