YouTube/Google Censors the KEY FACT that Would--If Known--Unify ALL the Have-Nots Against Zionism
Rabid Zionists like Bill Maher absolutely depend on this censorship to be taken seriously
If you watch this video you will see Brihana Joy Gray give an eloquent refutation of Bill Maher’s pro-Zionism; she eloquently exposes the immorality of Zionism, i.e., of the ideology that says there should be a Jewish state in most of Palestine that is based on the violent ethnic cleansing of non-Jews from it and the denial of the right of return to those non-Jews. (I have posted about Brihana’s anti-Zionism earlier here.)
But you will also see that her co-host—Robbie—tries to refute Brihana. How does he do that?
He does it by starting with the false assumption that the Jews of Israel are one big happy family who have created a nice democracy for themselves, and that it would be a disaster for these Jews if the Palestinians were granted the right of return. Why? Because, Robbie says, the Palestinians, being Muslims who—like Jews—are all the same, want a Muslim theocratic government like the one Hamas installed in Gaza with the vote of 70% of the Palestinians there. Robbie’s arguments rely on the false notion that Jews are a homogenous entity and Palestinians also are a homogenous entity, and that these two entities are in direct conflict with absolutely incompatible aims and values.
In other words, Robbie’s entire rebuttal to Brihana requires ignoring the huge fact of CLASS, specifically the following:
The KEY FACT:
Israeli violence against Palestinians is for the purpose of OPPRESSING ORDINARY ISRAELI JEWS. Zionist violence is designed to make the Palestinians a bogeyman enemy that the billionaire rulers of Israel pretend to protect Israeli Jews from and thereby control and severely economically oppress and get rich off of the Israeli Jewish working class. Israel for decades has funded Hamas and worked to keep it in power to make the bogeyman enemy maximally frightening. Hamas is also controlled by billionaires and oppresses ordinary Palestinians in Gaza as shown here . Hamas got votes not because Palestinians want an Islamic theocracy but because Hamas was less corrupt than the alternative Palestine Authority and pretended to be fighting Zionism militantly. This is all proved in my key articles here and here and here and here. Read them if you don’t understand what the real purpose of Zionist violence is!
As long as the reality of CLASS is ignored, Robbie’s argument in defense of Zionism is one that sounds persuasive to many good people who, because they know about and are horrified by the Holocaust, sympathize with Jews and hence with their desire to have a state of their own even if this requires—as it does—violent ethnic cleansing.
But when CLASS is brought into the picture with the KEY FACT, then something very different happens:
Passionately pro-Israel people (who are not rich ass-holes) change their mind and become anti-Zionist when they learn the KEY FACT: the true anti-working-class—including anti-Jewish-working-class—purpose of Zionism. I know this from personal experience!
So how come Brihana never talks about CLASS?
I cannot, of course, know whether or not Brihana understands the KEY FACT. But I do know this. Even if she does know the KEY FACT, she cannot express it. The reason is this. YouTube—her platform—does not allow anybody to talk about CLASS in the context of Israel/Palestine.
I know this because when I posted a video on my YouTube channel that expressed the KEY FACT about class, YouTube warned me that my video “violated community standards” against “hate speech,” YouTube took down my video, and YouTube warned me (with its “three strikes and you’re out”) that if I kept posting such videos YouTube would take my entire YouTube channel down; it would cancel me.
YouTube, of course, is owned by Google, in turn owned by some of the biggest billionaires on the planet, and for some curious reason they don’t want people talking about CLASS and thereby unifying the have-nots against the billionaires. What they do want is for the have-nots to be divided into, for example, those who agree with people like Brihana, and those who agree with people like Robbie. The Google/YouTube owners actually like shows like the Brihana/Robbie show because such shows keep the have-nots divided.
Guess who else doesn’t want anybody to talk about CLASS
All the anti-Zionism organizations that are funded by Big $ do not want anybody to talk about CLASS.
For example, Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) doesn’t permit any member to talk about class and if they do then JVP expels them, as they expelled me. Read all about this in detail here.
It’s not just JVP, as I discuss here and here.
Listen to Brihana talk (after the show with Bill Maher aired) with two sympathizers about how the producers of her show make it hard to express anti-Zionism views, and pay attention to how the CLASS nature of the conflict on this YouTube platform is STILL missing here:
I call your attention to time point 10:02 when Russell Dobular (who appears in the upper right corner) expresses what some people might (wrongly) think is the KEY FACT about CLASS that I stress. Dobular says—truthfully—that Israel creates antisemitism. He explains that Israel does this by committing horrible oppression of Palestinians while telling the world (falsely) that this oppression, i.e., Zionism, is the same thing as Judaism, that to be a Jew means to support things like the genocide of Palestinians going on today in Gaza. Dobular is perfectly right in saying that this creates hatred of Jews, which is antisemitism.
The problem with what Dobular says is not that he’s wrong; he’s right. The problem is that Dobular’s point—unlike the KEY FACT I describe above—is one that does not persuade people who are sympathetic to Jews because of their horror at the Holocaust to oppose Zionism. The reason it isn’t persuasive is this. The Zionists respond to Dobular’s point by saying,
“See! We Jews are damned if we do and damned if we don’t. If we do what it takes to make Jews safe, then people hate us for it. And if we don’t do what it takes to make Jews safe, then we Jews get driven into the sea and have no Jewish state as a haven in an antisemitic world.”
In contrast, the KEY FACT is that the ruling billionaire class in Israel is oppressing the Jewish working class and there is no “damned if they do and damned if they don’t” about it or any other excuse.
So, YouTube allows Dobular to make his point, but it does not allow anybody to express the KEY FACT.
Remember that old propaganda that said, “Only YOU can prevent forest fires!”? Well, only YOU can spread the KEY FACT about Israel. Please do so. Share my posts that express it.
I agree with your positions, but, I don't understand your introduction of the word class?
Obviously, some or even most of the high class are evil. However, that can also be said about the low class?
The reality is the Muslims and the jews are not inherently evil. However, their theology is supremacist. Islam wants to convert everyone to their side. Judaism wants to kill all the non-jews.
