The Auschwitz Memorial on Thursday criticised social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, for failing to remove an antisemitic post on the site.

    All this verbiage in the article and no indication as to exactly what the tweet was and why X did not take it down. Just point to the tweet and let the reader make up their own mind.

      The last time I saw a controversy over this it was about a general criticism of circumcision (i.e., infant genital mutilation and violation of human rights), its insane advocates often maliciously play the antisemitism card for instant victory without argumentation.

      Nowadays, people use terms such as antisemitism, racism, misogyny, etc. with so much arbitrariness, malice or simple ignorance, that I no longer trust anything if I don’t see the original content.

        The tweet is antisemitic. I posted it in a separate comment, it’s ridiculous I had to search for the tweet when it should be in the article or at least a screenshot of it.

          Wow… I know there always is and always will be a minority of really hateful people, but it’s shocking that they have the guts to be so blatant. I hope it’s just a troll (but the most disturbing thing here is twitter). Thanks for the sharing.

            You should really stop being so surprised. This kind of stuff isn’t nearly as uncommon as you seem to think it is.

        Thanks for posting. I’m not willing to jump to the conclusion that this tweet should be taken down. The poster is obviously an idiot. Sometimes I think you do a disservice to your cause when you hide this sort of thing. Leave it there for all to see. Let the crowds come down on this moron. In either case the account was suspended.
