Joining thousands of others we will shortly be suspending our Twitter activity for 48 hours in protest at the ongoing tolerance of hate speech in this platform.
@jack @Twitter #NoSafeSpaceforJewHate
honestreporting.com/honestreportin…
In recent weeks, we have looked on with dismay as Jews displaying a Jewish symbol have been locked out of their accounts while actual hatred has been allowed to proliferate.
We have seen how antisemites such as Louis Farrakhan have a platform on Twitter, and how celebrities share his clips to an audience of millions.
We have seen how attacks on Israel frequently turn into attacks on Jews.
And we have seen a reluctance on the part of the traditional broadcast media to report on these outbursts of hatred.
We are now saying #NoSafeSpaceForJewHate and walking out of @Twitter until 9am UK time on Wednesday.
It's now up to Twitter to make a change for the better, and to the media to fully cover this story. Enough is enough.
