i have some fun thoughts about the history of destroying libraries and books but i might get banned

The rise of tankies and Islamic extremism apologists, especially among young people, is deeply concerning.
Right, where’s the article about Mein Kampf being found in a Hamas hideout? About pro-Hamas protesters vandalizing the NYPL?
I’d post them but the mods hate me and auto-filter my threads. They’d probably delete them and say, “Not about books.”
This post from LitHub is sourced based on statements from the Hamas-run municipal government that shelters Hamas combatants and weaponry in civilian infrastructure. You’d expect a literary publication like LitHub to be better at critically analyzing statements from an unreliable narrator.

The Israeli government would love it if they could destroy any memory of Palestinians in Gaza. The world doesn’t support Israel like they used to because of actions like this by their extreme right wing government.
Israeli people would have preferred if Gaza was built into a functioning democracy, not a terrorist-led pariah territory. The people of Gaza probably would have preferred that too. But “destroy any memory” is not the position of anyone but extremists, who are frequently derided, as Hamas should be.
One of the first buildings destroyed of the war was the university.
