Orwell was equally 'horrified' by the British Empire's imperialist practices, which he documented in then-Burma. See "Shooting an Elephant" for example:
George Orwell: "I had already made up my mind that imperialism was an evil thing.... I was all for the Burmese and all against their oppressors, the British."
Now, if you want to experience censorship in the 'Western liberal democracies' today, just replace "the Burmese" in that quote with "the Palestinians."
You're right when I search google for "palestinian mole kingdom rape tunnels" I only see articles written from the israeli perspective, decrying mole kingdom rape tunnels.
There was no discussion. The poster stated a claim without providing any explanation or examples. That's the dangerous part. There absolutely should be a discussion, but neither you nor the original poster want to have one. You both wanted to make a one-sentence, circular argument to claim the moral high ground.
