Even your profile seems silent on this issue. Followed, looks cool, but nothing about Palestine.
Discussion
There was news I came across, and shared it. Collectively, isn't this our limit?
Hey Jose. I do post when I think I have something compelling to grab the Nostr audiences attention about the genocide. I also talk about it on my podcast. But this isn't about me. I simply don't have a large platform. When I post I'm just posting to my echo chamber.
There are very well known and well established people who promote Nostr as freedom tech that will help expose governments and free people. Those thought leaders here have remained silent. They failed to rise to the occasion for their own cause.
Okay, that's good, but what happens if we get everyone on nostr talking about Palestine?
Nostr is freedom tech because Palestinians can come and post uncensored. In a way that they couldn't elsewhere.
We can't share much that's not already public with no better insight.
News and social media platforms censor and suppress information about the genocide, and also any protests in favor of the Palestinians. Any criticism of Israel can get your banned or shadow banned on the other platforms.
There is a lot of evidence of both the genocide and the public support for a ceasefire that isn't "public" or accessible to most people.
And how are the nostr celebrities supposed to get that info if it's not public?
I gotta say this line of questioning feels disingenuous. These are the same challenges people have spreading truthful information about Bitcoin. They figured it out, they can figure this out.
It is disingenuous, the guy you're replying to often is
It's not disingenuous. It's in good faith.
I think it's the Palestinians who need to use nostr. If we fail to host them, it would be a failure of freedom tech.
But it's not a failure that nostr users didn't especially care about a war that they're not funding or involved in.
I am personally funding this genocide through my tax dollars. Every single American is. Lots of other governments also give money to Israel. Lots of companies we all purchase things from fund Israel and their so-called settlements. Many people on Nostr should care because they are in fact, unfortunately, funding this genocide.
Hey, Let’s think from first principles here.
What, in your opinion, is the root cause of the problems in this region? Why do you think there is a never-ending cycle of wars and death all around the Middle East, outside of Israel?
Maybe Islam is the unifying factor in whole those cases?
Absurd suggestion, I know. But maybe it’s not liberal Western country meddling at the root of it all, but hardcore Islamic fundamentalism?
