8. I disagree

Anyone stupid enough to say even the slightest criticism gets rained death on in social media and reported.
I commented on a reel on Instagram about EU nations recognizing Palestine, saying "Israel isn't making any friends" that's it, that's all I wrote and it was removed and I got a warning.
I genuinely know of no place on the internet where you can make even the mildest of comments about Israel and not get skewered for it.

For that very reason I normally don't comment on these stories but I also feel like I'm being cowed into submission, typically even saying the word "Gaza" can get a comment hidden on most social media lately.
Israel has a right to exist but so do Palestinians.
