The mod on world news is pathetically censoring people commenting Death to the IDF…

The IDF is a Nazi group and Bob Vylan are not calling for the destruction of an ethnicity, a religion, a nation. They are calling for the destruction of a genocidal army. Just like the South African Defence Forces of the South African Apartheid era absolutely deserved to be destroyed as a criminal organization, so do the Israeli Defence Forces of the Israeli Apartheid era.
Saying death to the IDF doesn't even specify violence. Just like if someone said, "we finally beat Medicare," it doesn't mean they beat the workers. If I said death to capitalism, it doesn't mean I intend to kill capitalists.
Turns out death is a very loose concept applied to an organization. Disbanded? Also dead.
I heard a report on Democracy Now! from a Houston neurosurgeon who is in Gaza for Doctors Without Borders and it was horrifying. He treated a young man who was shot in the neck while waiting for food at an aid station, the man will be paralyzed for the rest of his life. One of this doctor’s colleagues is an orthopedic surgeon who has had to amputate arms and legs from kids who are 7-8 years old.
What Israel is doing is evil. There are far too many people who should be made to answer for that evil.

TikTok deleted the post, they are cracking down on death to IDF posts
The BBC:
“The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves"
Keir Starmer and U.K. politicians condemned the chants, saying there was no excuse for such “appalling hate speech.”
Anything the british state or its media says should be considered false, until proven otherwise by a reputable source.

ID post by Jimmy J ... They're outraged by the "Death to the IDF" chant, but not by the 355 bullets fired at 5-year-old Hind Rajab. With a picture of Hind Rajab, a little girl wearing a kids' college graduation robe and mortarboard.
They should be worried about the thousands who cheered when he said it. Isntreal has lost the narrative and, once lost, it's almost impossible to get back.
