Dear @MatthewTyrmand: Serious question. Given your Jewish background, why are you friendly with Jack Posobiec, who has tweeted 1488 (meaning “Heil Hitler”), used the echo symbol to target Jews, & promoted an event hosted by the fascist & anti-Semitic group ONR in Poland? 1/
4/ “In April 2017, Posobiec amplified for his Twitter followers an event staged by the Polish neo-fascist political movement called Obóz Narodowo-Radykalny (ONR). ONR has a long history of promoting and emulating Nazism.” splcenter.org/hatewatch/2020…
5/
7/ The echo (triple parentheses) is used to target Jews with hate, as I’m sure Tyrmand is well aware. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2020…
