There are many. They just aren't always given a platform. Hence why social media is actually important in combating institutional censorship. Though social media platforms themselves aren't always free of censorship, as is evident by the fact that posts critical to Izrahell tend to be deleted or ghosted to a much higher degree than any vile things said about Palestinians or muslims.

Myriam keep shouting truth to power. We need more voices like yours. Calling a spade a spade.
Myriam should run for government, she has more integrity and more knowledge than the idiots she refers to. She's spot on about the corruption, there's only a few politicians that can currently be trusted. Rishi isn't one of them.

But is it also a trap for Israel? I suspect Israel knows it's time will soon be up. That is why they are doing a last-minute smash and grab, perhaps as a bargaining chip. They are just following the standard colonial method - Land grab whenever you can.

America is funding the war for Israel against the Palestinians. Why haven’t America given the Palestinians weapons and a monthly stipend? Can serve two masters Biden. This is America’s war just like the war in the Ukraine. It’s a poorly thought out strategy. Biden is a awful president and I don’t think I’ll be voting for a thug.
