YouTube censors Marco Rubio’s anti-Hamas rhetoric for ‘hate speech’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – YouTube deleted a video off Florida’s Voice’s YouTube channel for “hate speech” that depicted Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio denouncing Hamas terrorists for wanting to kill Jewish people.

In an email explaining the incident, YouTube said a video titled “RUBIO: Western ideals WON’T WORK on ‘savage’ terrorist groups” was deleted because it violates their “hate speech policy.”

“Content that incites hatred against individuals or groups based on their protected group status isn’t allowed on YouTube. This may include dehumanization, using slurs and stereotypes, inferiority claims, and/or conspiracy theories,” the email read.

“Apparently @YouTube @Google has decided that calling Hamas terrorists who burned babies & raped girls ‘savages’ is dehumanizing ‘hate speech,'” Rubio said in response to the video platform’s decision.

Below is the deleted video.

“These guys are ideological psychopaths, and they’re savages,” Rubio 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.”

“They openly call for that. We should start believing these people on what they say.”
