My comments were erased?

Because I said that there is an ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing underway in Gaza? It is undeniable that this is the case. And even if this were not the case, why would saying it is be censurable?

[@jasongray4517]

​@shouter1979 There is no genocide in Gaza. If Israel wanted to commit genocide and ethnic cleansing, it could easily have done do within a matter of months, if not weeks. In actual fact, Israel has shown remarkable restraint, considering the savagery of 7 October. Genocide and ethnic cleansing is what you will find in Hamas's own Charter, should you care to peruse its content. Perhaps you were censored for supporting a proscribed terrorist organisation?

[@shouter1979]

I didn't express support for any organisation. I simply stated the fact that there is credible evidence for the existence of genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, attested to by a host of international legal and humanitarian organisations. That stating this seems censurable is concerning.

@@jasongray4517 His question is weather or not his comment was erased. Answering to that question: I think it was some glitch though I have seen some of my comments disappearing. Sometimes the video is uploaded twice, for instance, and that could reset the comments. What makes me think it was a glitch is the fact that your comment - done for the second time - is here.
As for your comment, @jasongray4517: yes, no one likes terrorism and what they did is nearly inexcusable. Nearly because Netanyahu managed to somehow make it excusable given the savagery of the attack on Gaza's population. Israel has shown no restrain at all and many inside the Netanyahu administration have provided the hardest evidence to find for a Genocide case: intent.
Remember that it was the assassination of a nazi diplomat in Paris by a Polish Jewish teenager the event that provided the nazi justification of the Night of Broken Glasses. October 7 was a monstrous attack but the death of over 40,000 Palestinians and the total disregard for the hostages shows how Netanyahu is bad for the region, for Israel and for the world.
