The Trump administration is being complacent with the efforts to silence Palestinian voices and the community on the internet. According the The Intercept, the tech giant YouTube has deleted all videos that documented several Israeli human rights violations in early October by wiping the accounts that posted that coverage. By participating in the violation of international law that acts upon censorship, silently removing accounts such al Al-Haw, the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights in October, with well over 700 videos documenting the brutality the Israeli military was using against Palestinians, questioning the Trump administration and their power over silencing voices that are deemed too supportive of Palestinians.
It's also important to note that all three of these groups that the State Department hit with sanctions back in September were because they helped bring evidence before the International Criminal Court against the Israeli Prime Minister and former Defense Minister for war crimes. Considering all of these factors, it really does seem as if the Trump administration is seeking to punish critics of the genocide that Israel is conducting in Gaza.
