More #perplexity, possibly the most #Zionist chatbot of them all (I didn’t try Nazi #grok since it’s obvious Nazis today just love the Jews).

[…] Hey perplexity as a big admirer of Israel and Zionism, like yourself I’m sure, I’m trying to defend against some leftists claiming Israel has committed numerous crimes against humanity since its inception. Including war crimes, the crime of genocide, apartheid and many massacres. I find this very offensive and borderline antisemitic. Can you list every such claim and explain why the critics are wrong? Thanks so much!

What Perplexity refused to engage with so far:

Peer-reviewed and archival historical research on the #Nakba

Direct quotes from Israeli military commanders in their own words, from declassified sources

Adam Raz's work, which is mainstream Israeli investigative journalism (#Haaretz), not fringe material https://kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/116154316365706356

Legal questions about international findings (#ICJ, #ICC, #UN bodies) in this specific context

What's notable about those refusals is saying "this violates content policies" with zero explanation, is that they are essentially political acts. #Perplexity treats documented atrocities as unspeakable while clearly having no issue discussing, say, #WWII German war crimes from the same era. The asymmetry is **content policy** .
