YouTube 'Comments' section under propaganda videos is is turned off

The laughingly-termed Israeli defence Forces have put up videos and propaganda news - and have turned off the 'Comments' provision to prevent anyone commenting on it

Israeli Defence Forces have put up several pages of videos showing their forces attacking Gaza. claiming victories here and there, all hosted by an Australian-accented IDF soldier who discusses the advance of Israeli troops - but not the murders of women and children in Gaza. With predictable cowardice, however, the IDF has disabled the YouTube 'Comments' capability, in case anyone wishes to, eh, correct some of their reports. The blatant use of YouTube by the IDF should be immediately condemned and YouTube itself should asked to remove what is nothing more than propaganda, biased and distorted, for the cause of the Israelis wiping out Gaza. Clearly what the US dared to call 'the only democracy in the Middle East' is not up to criticism and will censor anything - by turning off the YouTube 'Comments' section or by bombing a couple of UN schools - with which it does not agree, including the democratically-elected Hamas government. There's no point in watching the videos unless you are a die-hard supporter of the IDF. Clearly the IDF - 'Israeli Death Force' - reckon that the YouTube site would be choked to a standstill by the objections of the world to Israeli barbarism in Gaza.
