The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

YouTube is censoring the most benign comments these days. You cannot even express an idea anymore. It is frustrating so if you don’t mind I would appreciate to post the censored comments here sometimes, given that this is a safe haven from Google censorship.

The video is here:
YouTube: i24NEWS takes a look at Hezbollah sites newar UNIFIL inside Lebanon (i24NEWS English)

My comment, which was censored by Google, was merely:

Why is the commentary using the term “Hezbollah terrorists”? They are defending Lebanon from escalating Israel attacks, and they formed solely to remove Israel from a Lebanese occupation decades ago, which they successfully expelled back to Israel. Without Hezbollah, Israel would have already expanded well and truly through Lebanon. The mere question of the location alone - they are in Lebanon, not in Israel - should make that obvious who is better described as a terrorist. So it is much more rational to describe the Israel militants in Lebanon as the terrorists, if you want to use that word. But these video wants to frame emotions to cheer the entry of IDF as the good guys. Terrible propaganda.

There! Posted without YouTube censorship.
