I watch a LOT of YouTube but I'm willing to stop over this, what a bummer. I guess I'll finally sign up for nebula

Use AdBlockers or other YouTube frontends. In this way you can still watch interesting videos greatly reducing their revenue on your person.

Better yet to use PeerTube but unfortunately there's not a lot of content on there yet

I’m of the mind that Youtube being free was kinda wild to begin with, and they gotta pay for it somehow. And now I suppose they don’t need my money for Premium anymore since they’re getting all these millions from the genocdial maniacs in Israel so bye.

I did just cancel, ‘cause oh my god there’s really not any mental gymnastics that can get around this one.

Don't; be evil, guys!

Calling it the Gaza instead of just Gaza is an attempt to make it sound like it's just a geographical region and not a nation. At least that's how Ukraine phrased it when they tried to get us to drop the the.

Idk how the Netherlands feels about that though

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Gaza is not a nation though? Palestine is.

Is Manhattan a nation? Not trying to start shit but I don't think the original post writer is trying to do what you're suggesting.

In case of Ukraine it's specifically because the name translates to "borderland" which is interpreted as "the border regions of a larger entity" (an interpretation that they'd like to avoid for obvious reasons). The Netherlands are simply lower in elevation than other lands surrounding them.

The etymology of "Gaza" seems unclear but it might come from positively connoted words like "strong, powerful, mighty" (source Wikipedia).

Fuck Israel, genocidal scum!

Can someone Lugi that fucker? Sick of seeing his face.

Edit: also keep in mind without us they wouldn't be able to do this. We fund them.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

I'm aware 😒

This is obviously vile, but I have seen one of their ads and it's almost more convincing of genocide than the pro Palestine ads. Israel has ads out insisting there is plenty of food in Gaza, and they back that up by a handful of images of the most devastatingly sad plates of food you've seen. What looks like a single taquito on a plate that it's basically swimming in. They're like "see! How can there be a famine when they have a taquito to share amongst the whole country!" If the onion were to satirize it they couldn't do as good of a job. I don’t know about you guys, but I've never had to run ads about how I'm specifically not committing a genocide. The whole campaign makes them look guilty. I don't really see ads, so I can't speak to the whole campaign, some may be more effective for their cause, but I really hope all are as transparently false as the one I saw.

A man who must insist he is king, is no king.

A entity that must assure everyone it's not committing genocide...

A man who must insist he is king, is no king.

I'm sorry but first thing that popped in my head reading this sentence was:

Shrek Lord Farquaad exclaiming he is king image with caption text

This seems like a roundabout way of phrasing "Israel bought Google adspace".

[–] NKBTN@feddit.uk 1 points 1 hour ago

If I was Israeli, I'd be pissed off at this use of taxpayers money

[–] huppakee@feddit.nl 15 points 1 day ago

I think yes, but also on this scale it isn't as if Israel created an acount and made some payments. They willingly do business with an entity that is committing genocide.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

I feel like Google would have done this for free.

[–] C1pher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Blatant manipulation and misuse of "news" outlets. They arent even trying to be sneaky about it anymore. They know nothing can happen to them, which is something that needs to change.

spytube suppress anti israel and anti genociee messaging as is.

and outright promotes the genocide and israel talking points. tired of having to report it spam.

note that all US mega corpos has israeli spooks within their ranks and teams specifically to ensure none of their behavior hurts anything israel related.
