Why banning Tik Tok in America will benefit Israel?
According to experts, the US government is trying to legally ban Tik Tok in order to support the Zionist regime with a new tool. |
The US House of Representatives passed a bill two days ago that would ban the use of the Chinese-owned social networking platform Tik Tok.
The bill would give TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, six months to sell and divest the app’s assets in the United States, or face a total ban in the country. However, this action still needs the approval of the Senate and the signature of the President of the United States.
After the passage of this bill, one of the largest American Jewish groups released an unprecedented statement in support of this congressional action. The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), an organization sponsored by American Jewish groups, praised the move, claiming that TikTok “has contributed to the alarming rise of anti-Semitism.” /p>
Jenna’s appreciation of the possible ban of Tik Tok shows that such a move will be in Israel’s interest, an expert told Anatolia news agency that the increase in messages of supporters and supporters of Palestine and the growth of messages against Israel in this application are part of Israel’s plans to control the thoughts of young people. The American is hurt.
Nursin Atsoglu Goni, the head of the international relations department of Istanbul Yildiz Technical University in Gefengo, emphasized to Anatolia news agency that the action of the US House of Representatives is aimed at protecting Israel’s interests. But he emphasized that this plan “will not have any results”. At the same time, he rejected the argument that anti-Semitism is increasing in the shadow of Tik Tok’s activities.
The expert said: “What is really happening is not that Tik Tok is paving the way for anti-Semitism, but rather a real phenomenon that shows the growing opposition of young Americans against the dominant narrative of Israel in America.”
He said, referring to the destructive attacks of the Zionist regime in Gaza since October 7, “the banning of Tik Tok in America does not stop the perception that Israel is the aggressor.”

Israel, which is accused of genocide in the International Court of Justice, has now martyred more than 31,300 Palestinians in Gaza, wounded more than 71,100 people and brought millions to the brink of famine. /p>
Oglu Goni believes that “these US protectionist moves against Israel have no value. They may resort to these things because the elections are approaching.”
Young people don’t believe lies anymore
The university professor also criticized a statement in which the Jena organization blamed Tik Tok for increasing anti-Israel sentiment among American youth. He emphasized that information sources are no longer limited to conventional media and young people are exposed to different opinions and content through social media. By closely following social media, young people can clearly see the truth and no longer believe lies.
According to this expert, the US government is trying to hide the facts by blocking Tik Tok. Israel and the United States are arguably the staunchest allies on a global scale, and Washington considers Israel’s security vital to its strategic interests.
The growing opposition to TikTok has had the effect of turning American public opinion against Israel, making the app a target of many pro-Israel lobbies such as the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). ADL President Jonathan Greenblatt said in a recent interview with MSNBC that TikTok has become “the 24-hour news channel for many young people, and it’s like Al Jazeera on steroids, fueling and intensifying anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism.”
The Jewish Federations of North America also said in a statement that Byte Dance is committed to the Chinese government, which has completely aligned itself with Israel.
The group claimed: “China has filled its state-controlled media and social media channels with anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli rhetoric.”
However, TikTok CEO Xu Zichu criticized the “disappointing” vote and vowed that the company would do “everything it can” to protect the app and “exercise its legal right”. gave He emphasized that the company has taken several measures to protect data and isolate Tik Tok from external influences.
“We hope the Senate will consider the facts, listen to its constituents, and understand the impact on the economy, the 7 million small businesses and the 170 million Americans who use our services,” TikTok said in a statement. /p>
