Mo Hamzeh and Chris Jeffries share their personal experiences and frustrations with censorship on social media platforms, specifically Meta (formerly Facebook,) and the disproportionate impact on the Palestinian community. Hamzeh discusses his family’s history as Palestinian refugees and his emotional connection to the land. Both speakers express concern over the shadow banning and dehumanization of Palestinians on social media, as well as in Western media. They criticize biased reporting, the targeting of journalists, and the killing and displacement of civilians, including children. Hamzeh and Jeffries argue that the conflict between Palestinians and Western powers, particularly the US and Israel, is systemic and that the media’s bias in reporting is an attempt to control the narrative. They call for increased empathy, understanding, and action against the situation, which they believe has become normalized.
