As antisemitism on platform rises, group calls for Twitter ad boycott
Arutz Sheva ^ | 5/11/22 | Andrew Lapin

Jewish groups thought Elon Musk was listening to them about antisemitism on Twitter. Then Kanye West came back.

In the week after the rapper who now goes by Ye lost most of his endorsements due to his antisemitic rants, and amid an apparent uptick in broader antisemitic content on the platform, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) met with Musk, the social media giant’s mercurial new owner, about keeping hate speech off the site.

Three days later, all goodwill from the meeting has devolved, as anti-Jewish content on Twitter is experiencing a “prolific surge,” according to the Network Contagion Research Institute, a firm that monitors the spread of online hate and disinformation. The institute said Friday that “terms associated with Jew are being tweeted over 5,000 times per hour,” and that “the most engaged tweets are overtly antisemitic.”

Meanwhile, West has begun calling out individual Jews, such as music mogul Scooter Braun and the sports branding businessman Jamie Salter, on his account, and online networks of antisemites have seized on Musk’s ownership as an opportunity to launch a full-court press of hateful content on the site.

Now, instead of working alongside Musk to develop new content moderation tools, the ADL is calling on all advertisers to suspend their relationship with Twitter, while offering a harsh critique of Musk’s leadership.

F@#$ the ADL. Do they really think they can stop anti-Semitism just by silencing it? Totalitarian morons.

I have experienced real anti-Semitism—sorry, Jew Hatred— by real, flesh and blood people, and they were left-wing “activists”. I got out alive. But tweets and posts are mean at most. But sticks and stones can hurt you.

The ADL is probably the one who has its agents posting “anti-Semitic” stuff on Twitter. They are all typical liberal dirtbag operatives so they can’t be trusted to tell the truth about anything.

Anyway, it seems that there was always anti-Semitic posts on twitter, but now there’s more. BFD.

Twitter should run its own ads showing a list of which companies pull their ads because they don’t care for free speech, only liberal socialist woke speech.

Then people can more easily decide to pull their funding and patronage from these companies, if they want to.

Commie libs complaining about antisemitism. ROTFL. Now there’s a joke. RATs are the biggest antisemites on the block.

Do they want a short term fix or a long term fix.

The ADL is just as corrupt and ethicless as any other democrat group. It presents itself as one thing while working to push democrat positions behind the scenes.

“terms associated with Jew are being tweeted over 5,000 times per hour,” and that “the most engaged tweets are overtly antisemitic.”

Are they going to even bother showing point-by-point if a surge to 5,000 per hour could be antisemitic as “overtly” implies, what percentage are somehow antisemitic, and exactly how they are antisemitic?

I think kanye is right. Anti-semitism is in fact a code word.

The left is generally antisemitic. Even the Jewish left seem to be self-loathing. Why does the ADL not go after the left?

The ADL is fronting for the Democrats here in the USA that’s why they denounce patriotic Israeli politicians who were successful in the election the other day as ‘extremists’.

I’m Jewish and I haven’t noticed any of this. I also can handle whatever small-in-number anti-Semites may want to post on Twitter.

One would think in a free world, that one could criticize jews, and jews could equally defend themselves from such criticism.

Similarly as one would criticize arabs, whites asians, and blacks.
