It's factually true if you look at public surveys conducted in Israel. By a large margin.
I'm sure it is but much like Americans they are pumped full of propaganda too. It's a real shame.

N ya ppl say that all Palestinians support Hamas so I find these arguments end up just dehumanizing the other side so i tend to stay away from them.

I certainly get where ur coming from tho

Dead wrong. A ton of Americans and Europeans have joined the app. I've been talking to a lot of Chinese people on there. It's fascinating learning about their country directly from the source. They are pretty open about the policies of their government, good and bad. Tbh, the US government is worse in many ways, better in some others. Many things said about China are blatantly false though.

In China it's a fairly niche app mostly used by middle class people, i.e tech workers. They're very well educated and are critical of their government in ways that would surprise you. The idea that the Chinese government would want to boost this app is pretty laughable if you've actually used it and talked to people on there.
Interesting anecdote

As a non American who neighbours them and a country that's been heavily invested in by China (both in tech but esp in real estate) I'm mixed. They opened illegal police stations and have infiltrated n corrupted our federal politicians. But so has the US, they have been psy opsing the right since before the pandemic and former prime Minister harper is part of an international right wing think tank. We're about to get saddled w our own populist demagogue n they want to privatize n sell us off to the US. We even have a traitor running Alberta who's sucking trumps orange dick.

So I ask myself. Should canada align with others? Do Chinese ppl have things in common with me? Are the US really the good guys? Is China yhst evil ( yes on some, no on others like green initiatives).

China government might be bad. But Chinese ppl are ppl just like us. We shouldn't just ignore them either.

Transcript:

“Let me make one final plea, Mr. President: Millions have put their trust in you. And as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican and independent families, some who fear for their lives. And the people, the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals, they — they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away, and that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here, Mr. President.”
I've watched the video of the speech and I cried. It was so beautiful. She wasn't hateful, she wasn't being vile, she was being a genuine, honest and faithful bishop who believes in the good of humanity. I hope there's more people like her that calls out Trump's and Vance's bullshit, so they can rattle their cages like she did. We need more people like her and less people like Trump.

Not surprising one bit of their responses. They're scared of truth and righteousness, because they hate it and it makes them squirm.

Warner Bros. Discovery’s CNN plans to lay off hundreds of employees Thursday as it refocuses the business around a global digital audience, according to people familiar with the matter.

The layoffs come as CNN is rearranging its linear TV lineup and building out digital subscription products. The cuts will help CNN lower production costs and consolidate teams, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss nonpublic changes.

Certain shows that are produced in New York or Washington may move to Atlanta, where production can be done more cheaply, said the people.

JUST IN: A federal district court judge temporarily blocked President Trump’s executive order aimed at limiting birthright citizenship — the first action in what promises to be a protracted legal battle over the new administration’s agenda.

Some of these judges are the first line of defense but it's really hard to have faith when you know it's just going to go to however many appeals court it takes until they get a MAGAhead
