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.
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.
Meet @WSJ journalist Abeer Ayyoub. She used her X account to spread terrorist propaganda and fake news, as Hamas massacred thousands of Israelis on Oct 7.
She also exploited the social media platform to distribute antisemitic slurs and content that whitewashes Hamas. 🧵
On Oct. 7, Ayyoub posted a violent propaganda video produced by Hamas’ armed wing. It showed terrorists lynching and executing Israeli soldiers near the Gaza border.
When Israeli Arab Affairs expert Edi Cohen posted the following in Arabic: “In the Quran, God commanded respect for prisoners. The Palestinian militants killed & raped them,” Ayyoub replied: “So do you guys respect them, you sh*t?”
Meet Fadel Naim. He's a doctor at Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza (yes, the one that Israel was falsely accused of bombing). He's a regular interviewee in Western media, such as in @guardian & @Reuters below.
But this doctor also openly celebrated the massacre of Jews on October 7. 🧵
In @guardian, Naim claimed Israel massacred civilians at Tabeen School. In @Reuters, he falsely accused Israel of killing hundreds in an airstrike.
But on October 7, he was calling on God to support the terrorists who butchered and kidnapped Israelis.
On October 8, Naim urged Gaza residents not to evacuate, even as Israel warned Palestinians to leave areas that would be targeted in airstrikes.
This is who Western media rely on to "inform" their stories.
🧵The media’s reporting on Hezollah’s rocket attack that killed 12 Israeli children has been disgraceful. Want to see the hideous lows journalists sank to last night?
Here is @SkyNews suggesting Hezbollah launched an “attack on a football pitch.” According to Sky, Hezbollah wanted to take out a patch of grass and not the innocents kicking a ball on it.
Meanwhile, @bbcnews couldn’t even bring themselves to acknowledge the fact the victims were all children. Instead, they are “young people” who died in a “football pitch attack” bbc.com/news/articles/…
Just who are some of the "UN experts" quoted by international media claiming famine has spread throughout Gaza?
They may use the imprimatur of the UN but, in reality, they aren't the credible, impartial sources you or the media may think. 🧵
◾️ Francesca Albanese has previously apologized after antisemitic posts on her personal social media profile were uncovered and has likened the Jewish state to Nazism.
