To the Twitter heads, it’s acceptable to harass Jewish people, but lay off mere criticism of the mRNA vaccines.
For an expose on Farrakhan’s antisemitic and racist comments which are “tolerated” by the woke, see HERE. Such comments would never be tolerated against the black and/or Muslim community. According to a Times of Israel report, entitled “Why celebrities keep quoting Louis Farrakhan — despite his anti-Semitism”:
Farrakhan, 87, is known for his anti-Semitic and homophobic rhetoric. He has praised Hitler, accused Jews of controlling the US government and railed against what he calls the “Synagogue of Satan.”
But he’s also known for empowering Black activism, organizing social service programs in low-income Black neighborhoods and advocating for Black self-reliance decades after he organized the 1995 Million Man March, a rally that brought hundreds of thousands of Black people to Washington, DC.
Maybe so, but helping one group while inciting hatred and violence against another group is appalling and dangerous. It does not help that hatred against Jews is backed by Islamic texts. Those who are obedient to normative Islamic ideology follow these hateful and inciting words. This important fact is often ignored, at a high cost.
“Twitter Suspends Nation Of Islam For Attacking Vaccines, But Not Attacking Jews,” by Gabe Kaminsky, The Federalist, July 26, 2021:
The Nation of Islam, an extremist antisemitic group ran by Louis Farrakhan, was banned from Twitter for criticizing mRNA vaccines.
Twitter previously declined to ban Farrakhan’s personal account or the group account for their routine harassment of Jewish people.
Twitter moved to ban the account last week after being targeted for promoting “misinformation.” In reaction to the ban, a high-ranking member in the group tweeted, “Unsurprisingly, Twitter, Inc. has suspended The Nation of Islam’s official account: @OfficialNOI.”
A report cited by the White House this month said that 12 Twitter accounts are responsible for 65 percent of supposed anti-vaccine content. One of the 12 listed was Rizza Islam, a Nation of Islam member. While Twitter took action against the group after perpetual mRNA vaccines criticism, it remained silent on its previous anti-semitism.
A Twitter spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.
Nation of Islam has a history of attacking Jews and making incendiary comments. Farrakhan said at a speech in 2018, “the powerful Jews are my enemy” and “white folks are going down. And Satan is going down. And Farrakhan, by God’s grace, has pulled the cover off of that Satanic Jew and I’m here to say your time is up, your world is through.”
In 2018, Farrakhan tweeted a video clip of a speech where he compared Jews to termites and called them stupid. He captioned the video: “I’m not an anti-Semite. I’m anti-Termite.”….
