Youtube did not censor or shadow ban that much a decade ago, but today they have been shadow-banning or outright removing many pro-Palestinian channels.
Gaza is not really a wedge issue on the left, it is however a wedge issue on the right, with Christian zionists and older BoomerCons being more prone to buying the Israeli narratives while younger conservatives amd anti-war conservatives are increasingly rejecting it.

Gaza is mostly a wedge issue between the Democrat base and its leadership, not so much between Democrats. Not the same story in the GOP.
