YouTube temporarilly took down a video from U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio’s channel that voiced support for Israel. The only stated reason? He called Hamas “savages.”
The clip, later posted on X by the conservative Florida’s Voice, showed a segment on Fox Business with Larry Kudlow. Rubio in the clip referenced a series of attacks on Israeli civilians.
“We need to start waking up and saying, we could project all the Western attributes we want, on Iran, on Hamas and on groups like that. But these guys are ideological psychopaths, and they’re savages,” he said.
“And they would if they could, not just kill every Jew they can get their hands on, they would kill Americans in the process as well, and in fact they openly call for that. We should start believing these people on what they say.”
The video clip on YouTube was entitled, “RUBIO: Western ideals WON’T WORK on ‘savage’ terrorist groups.”
It’s unclear if the title or the video content set off YouTube’s algorithm, but the video was deplatformed for violating “hate speech policy.”
An official YouTube account said the video was “mistakenly removed and has been reinstated.”
A standard message to users said it was important to keep YouTube as a “safe place for all.” It directed the video poster to a place where the decision could be appealed.
“Content that incites hatred against individuals or groups based on their protected group status isn’t allowed on YouTube,” a policy excerpt reads. “This may include dehumanization, using slurs and stereotypes, inferiority claims, and/or conspiracy theories.”
The message does state that exceptions to this policy can be made “with sufficient and appropriate content.”
Rubio voiced displeasure at the action, especially in context of attacks in Israel by Hamas that have resulted in an estimated 1,300 Israeli deaths from missile attacks and raids.
“Apparently YouTube/Google has decided that calling Hamas terrorists who burned babies and raped girls ‘savages’ is dehumanizing ‘hate speech,’” the Miami Republican posted on X.

Good Afternoon America,
SARCASAM LIGHT ON:
You Tube has alot of followers and thus alot of money coming in from barbarians who love to chop off babies heads, gang rape female holocast grannys, and engage in homer testical relations with non-combatant males prior to and after raming swoards up the poor guys sphincter holes.
So as you can see what You Tube did was strictly a business decision to keep the hate money flowing into You Tubes bank accounts.
I dont know why everybody’s so upset.
SARCASAM LIGHT OFF:
Seriously America,
Those folks at You Tube are some sick phucks.
Thank you America,

Wartime statements, especially eàrly wartime, are filled with dehumanizing pronouncements. Of Germans in WW1 as an example.
Unfortunately it is used thence to trigger, hide, or excuse counter savagery.
And of course sometimes it is more or less true.
Often hard to tell early on.

My Take

I wonder if “barbarians” is OK?
Or “uncivilized?”
Or “inhuman.”
Or even “feral?”
(And not just for Hamas.)
What Rubio means of course is “Untermensch” bit he dare not say that

We all may be guilty of a little dehumanizing.
For example, I think DeSScamus may well be the Sķunk Ape. After some face and arm shaving and a little English instruction.

Nothing more Christian than wholesale discrimination.

Is Hamas terrorist from top to bottom, and athwart, or is it a government that has a large contingent of terrorists?
That is, as with fascism and the GOP, .like today, òr like years ago , then just with a crazy wing.

“Savage” is not a particlarly bad word.
And if he were just calling the actual terrorists savages there would be no real gripe.
But of course that is not what he was doing.
