The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade is the very definition of a terrorist group. They aren’t criticizing— they are blowing people up.
Setting yourself of fire — that’s speech. Suicide bombing- that’s not speech. You can criticize and even hate. But when that turns to the promotion of killing innocent people, that crosses the line from dissent to terror.
If white supremacy is taken down but groups that actually blow up innocent people as a tactic are not taken down, that’s a weird inconsistency. This would be a non story if Cloudflare were consistent. By taking down the white supremacist sites but not taking down al-Aqsa, Cloudflare has taken a position inconsistent with content-agnostic management of their platform.
Hamas could be debated, but there isn’t any logical reasoning behind al-Aqsa being allowed while white supremacists aren’t. Both groups are far beyond “criticizing totalitarian regimes.” If we can’t see the moral difference between al-Aqsa and dissidents, then we have lost the plot.
