A senior Cair official wants people to think Israel is spraying "sewage" on the "Al Aqsa mosque," though neither sewage nor mosque are involved.

A prominent US media figure does the same. (And @rezaaslan didn't under his retweet after people informed him of the facts.) 
Aaand @imraansiddiqi seems to have deleted his tweet. Now that he seems to acknowledge the info he shared was incorrect, maybe his Twitter followers deserve to be informed?
3/ Twitter takes trends that had existed before, in some measure, and amplifies them exponentially. So it is with anti-Israel disinformation. Now new. But now it's haywire. Countless thousands of people think Israel sprayed feces on the al Aqsa mosque.
4/ The quiet deletion of an offending tweet does nothing, except perhaps protecting the Tweeter by hiding the offense.
Here's another example from today -- the PLO itself spreads the lie that Israelis killed this man, then deletes the tweet.

5/ But not before it's picked up by others, like the guy referred to in this tweet:

It's not just CAIR officials, the PLO, and Twitter activists. Members of Congress participate, too. nypost.com/2020/01/29/rep…
