Musk has also gone out of his way to deplatform journalists while reinstating literal Neo-Nazis.
It’s pretty clear that what’s happening is that his obsession with conspiracy theories and his absolute hate of journalists, like with most fascists, has made Jews an easy target.
He has also been engaging in Great Replacement conspiracy theories with other antisemites a bunch this month, but the antisemitic part of it tends to be overlooked.
The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs conducted a survey of US Jews’ views on the war.
The findings are very important. They shatter a lot of preconceptions about US Jews.
The first one: 51% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed with Biden’s decision to withhold arms.
Second: About 30% of US Jews believe Israel’s government is engaging in genocide. Only about 50% unequivocally say it isn’t.
Third: While the poll showed widespread concerns about what US Jews have seen at campus protests, the views on the protests as a whole were more complicated.
Only 28% considered the protests purely anti-Israel, 60% saw them as anti war, pro peace (for 25% also anti-Israel).
It’s interesting to see how many Jews on the right are shocked by the change in tone of voices like Tucker Carlson & Candace Owens.
They have been warned for years that the allyship from the right was conditional and temporary. But their worldview blinded them to this.
Among authoritarians and extremists there is no such thing as true allyship. How much more true when it comes to Jews who are essential to far right conspiracy theories.
If you are a Jew who thinks you can depend on those who wish to oppress others, you are a gullible mark.
But it’s not just about gullibility: it’s about how a worldview based in justifying the oppression of Palestinians in Israel and the targeting of vulnerable communities in America has made these far right Jews blind to how they’ll always be next in line once the others are gone.
The entire structure of Twitter as it exists today is the opposite of free speech. It is meant to amplify hate speech and suppress speech its owner doesn’t like.
That’s why neo-Nazis are here but journalists and anti-fascists calling them out are being suspended.
In other words, the policies you are seeing are all just a reflection of Musk’s biases. And since Musk’s views are the same as any red pilled troll, the policies are made to reflect that.
Welcome to scaled up 4chan.
Honestly, the policies are actually far worse than 4chan where there is little to no moderation. Here there is moderation, but it’s largely focused on journalists and activists.
And on the other end: hate mongers like Jackson Hinkle literally get paid to spread lies.
Myth #1: Israel can’t agree to a ceasefire because hostage release isn’t included
The truth: Hamas has offered multiple deals to release the hostages and end the war. The Israeli government has rejected them because they will only agree to a deal if Hamas surrenders.
Myth #2: The war will end after Hamas is defeated
The truth: Determining an end point to a war against a group like Hamas is near impossible, and the war is likely to result in *more* support for Hamas and more attacks like October 7th.
