The way CNN attempts to gaslight their audience here over 'Free Palestine' should be taught in media literacy classes.

Unfortunately YouTube demonetized three high-performing videos all in the past week - two on Israel. It's a major blow to my channel but support from people on places like Patreon help keep me going.
I want to thank current paying members on Patreon & YouTube for your support, and if you can spread the word to any friends/family that may watch me and be willing to support me in various ways as well. Links below:

Me and some friends are streaming tonight's debate between Biden and Trump starting around 8:30/8:45pm ET. Because of CNN's strict (and anti-fair use) rules, we cannot stream it to YouTube (except the post-debate analysis which WILL be on YT at 10:30pmET). But you will be able to watch it on either Rumble or Matt Binder's Twitter account. Here's the links:
Rumble: rumble.com/v545e6f-trump-vs-biden-debate-with-the-…

My latest video covering this ongoing genocide was automatically demonetized, it’s the reality of covering serious topics on YouTube. It’s neither enjoyable to discuss nor lucrative in any way, but it’s important to do what I can to help inform people.
I want to send my love out to the those supporting this channel through Patreon, YouTube membership, PayPal, or the merch store. It allows me to do this work.
