It’s probably helpful to note that it’s quite common in right-wing rhetoric, particularly as pertains to Likud politics, to conflate criticism of Netanyahu’s politics with antisemitism. It’s an effective way to call his critics anti-semites for an audience that doesn’t understand the difference between Judaism and Likud party politics- sort of like how MAGA republicans call themselves patriots and then claim that their critics are therefore unpatriotic.

Musk has famously re-platformed far-right, nazi-coddling accounts and laid off basically everyone responsible for moderating content. Yes, it’s a complete mystery as to why Twitter has a nazi problem

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The livestreamed event started with a one-on-one between Musk and Netanyahu that attracted more than 735,000 views.

    While much of the one-on-one focused on AI—which Musk claimed was “potentially the biggest civilizational threat” and Netanyahu called “a blessing and a curse”—the men also discussed their views on antisemitism and how Musk deals with hate speech on X.

    And all I could say is, I hope you find within the confines of the First Amendment the ability to stop not only antisemitism, or roll it back as best you can, but any collective hatred of people."

    Netanyahu noted that X’s policy didn’t stop Musk from condemning antisemitism every chance he got.

    The entire conversation remained strictly agreeable, with Netanyahu’s only pushback coming about 25 minutes in.

    The prime minister asked Musk if it was “technically possible” to limit “armies of bots” from amplifying hate speech on X.

      735k views? Fucking weak.

      There’s a woman who unboxes toys, toys that appear on the god damn box and she just unpacks them and shows off her nails, that get more views than this.
