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.

@Twitter

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.

Is @guardian publishing blatantly fake news?

It claims Jewish students don’t think the anti-Israel campus protests are antisemitic and includes a link to a so-called “joint letter” that it says was issued by more than 750 Jewish students. 🧵

@guardian We followed the link in the article - it goes to an anonymous letter reportedly written by “five Jewish students” and not 750, as The Guardian said.

So, where did The Guardian get this 750 figure from?

@guardian A Google search reveals it came from a “progressive” and anti-war non-profit website called Common Dreams, which also provided no source for the 750 figure, apparently just plucking it out of thin air.

🧵 The media reports on the attempts to broker a deal between Israel and Hamas were disgraceful.

The fact is that Hamas accepted a “deal” that it proposed itself - a deal that Israel had not even seen the terms of, nevermind agreeing to.

Yet, the media pumped out headlines accusing Israel of “rejecting” some kind of wonderful peace deal that would end the conflict for good.
