18:45Now PlayingEver since the October 7th attacks, criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza have often been labeled as anti-Semitism, and platforms like TikTok have been criticized by Zionists for allegedly spreading pro-Palestinian sentiment among young people.
In this video Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger, along with independent journalist James Li, highlight the hiring of Erica Mindel, a former IDF soldier and staunch Zionist, as TikTok’s new hate speech manager, and express concerns about censorship and biased content moderation. Jimmy critiques the broad and vague labeling of “hate speech” and its use to control narratives, suggesting that this constitutes thought policing and suppression of free expression. He also shares personal experiences with TikTok account bans, framing them as part of a broader pattern of enforced self-censorship regarding Israel-Palestine content.
