    Dude discovered that you can’t criticise Israel and says it’s the same as people being locked up or executed under Mao.

    Yeah it’s fucked that anyone critical of Israel is shutdown by pressure from various associations and lobbying groups, but it’s a massive reach to say this is the same as under Mao.

      Yeah, thinking society is stupid for their societal pressure versus going to jail for having the wrong opinion. Truly no difference.
