A parallel thread has reported on how the leftists at Twitter have decided that the universal and ancient symbol for Jews - the Star of David - is a hate symbol. But what about the antisemitic hashtag - Jewish Privilege - that is permeating through the site by Jew haters? Have they banned that?

Also, it appears that one has to go to foreign media to read just how antisemitic the left has become. The American media is desperately trying to hide the disgusting antisemitism in its ranks while it simultaneously speaks out against bigotry against blacks and Muslims (and blaming it all on the right, and whites).

Last time I heard, Sarah Silverman, like most Jews is a Liberal.
just to get it straight, you are a brand “new” user, and in the last couple of days, you’ve said some pretty awful things.

That said, you’ve somehow twisted this story to diminish the raging antisemitism against Jews and have zeroed in on one aspect of the article. To be clear, the hashtag has been widely used by Jew-haters, and in this instance, Jewish people FOUGHT BACK against the scumbags by using it ironically to dispel the notion of a Jewish privilege.

The fact remains that the hashtag started off with antisemites using it. (It’s a common expression of antisemitism.) And thus the question remains: will the leftists at Twitter who deem the Star of David hate speech allow the antisemitic hashtag to remain?

however, they are doing well in business rather than rioting in the streets ...

Actually read your source next time.
Look, you were clearly banned due to your inflammatory posts as a liberal, and you opened a new account.

And if you mean by “bash liberals,” I am trying to draw attention to the rampant antisemitism on the far left, yes of course. Isn’t that what black people are trying to do with BLM - draw attention to racism? Unless of course you want me to just be quiet about the Jew-hate being expressed in the left.

Look, you were clearly banned due to your hate, and are determined to excuse antisemitism (when it comes from leftists.) A night or two ago you said you doubted that the antisemitic attack on the synogogue really happened, and SPECIFICALLY said you doubted it because an Orthodox Jew said it happened.

You are clearly on the left and determined to squash stories of antisemitism coming from leftists.

Twitter needs to show some consistency, as it seems to be happy to allow an Antisemitic Hashtag but not the Star of David, and this just seems biased and somewhat bizarre.

Yes....you get it. It is another example of liberal Reverse World. An antisemitic hashtag is allowed to exist, and the Star of David is banned. Reminds me as to when there was that march by the LBGTQ group - clearly marching in opposition to prejudice - and they disallowed the Jewish Star on any flags.

It makes sense when you realize Twitter is run by twits.

A quick search of that hashtag shows the vast majority are pro-Jewish tweets associated with it. That could well be why Twitter hasn't banned it, right?
