On this edition of Parallax Views, writer, scholar, and activist Omar Zahzah, author of Terms of Servitude: Zionism, Silicon Valley, and Digital Settler Colonialism in the Palestinian Liberation Struggle. Zahzah discusses how he came to explore the intersection of Big Tech and Zionism, arguing that Silicon Valley’s digital infrastructure is censoring pro-Palestinian voices.

The conversation delves into how tech giants collaborate with Israeli interests, the emergence Balaji Srinivasan's “Tech Zionism,” and how platforms like Meta and X weaponize algorithms and vague “community guidelines” to suppress Palestinian voices through censorship and shadow banning. Zahzah also examines AI-driven tools like Lavender, the broader implications of digital repression, and how recent reports of Hollywood blacklists echo the politics of silencing seen across digital platforms.

It's a conversation dealing with Israel/Palestine, social media and digital platform, and free speech on this edition of Parallax Views.
