MintPress contributor Robert Inlakesh says Google services — Gmail and YouTube — just deleted his reporting documenting Israeli soldiers shooting unarmed Palestinian civilians, including children, and then banned him entirely.

He wrote on X:

“All my coverage of Israeli soldiers shooting civilians, including children targeted on a live stream, along with my entire account were deleted and then I was banned completely.”

This comes as YouTube has reportedly removed around 700 videos documenting Israeli war crimes.

This isn’t happening in a vacuum.

YouTube has formal content-policy partnerships with the ADL — one of the most powerful pro-Israel advocacy organizations — and Google works directly with Israeli government ministries on “extremism” blacklists and content moderation pipelines.

This is not just content moderation. This is a censorship infrastructure — where Silicon Valley and the Israeli state shape what the world is allowed to see about Gaza.

Silencing journalists is how you hide a genocide.
