Some Accounts that Twitter Won't Ban

Twitter has a tendency of suspending, and in some cases, terminating accounts of individuals who they say violate their "hate and safety policies."  However, many have pointed out that Twitter has a very strange habit of allowing some users to keep posting hateful and violent content, but not others, namely because those individuals share the same political or societal views that the owners of Twitter follow.  Allow us to consider some examples.  

Zabihullah Mujahid 


For those of you who don't know, Zabihullah is the spokesman for the Taliban in Afghanistan.  His account has thousands of followers and likes to brag on Twitter about how many people he's recruited to his cause.  Never mind the fact that the Taliban has been responsible for numerous atrocities such as blowing up ancient statues of Buddha, attacking Mosques, killing aid workers, shooting girls in the head for wanting to go to school, and blowing the cars of women's rights activists.  However, Twitter can't ban the account of the spokesman of the Taliban because according to their logic, they don't know that the things he teaches to his followers encourages them to carry out this violent acts.  Actually, I think Twitter does know this, they just don't care.


Chinese Embassy in the U.S.

The Chinese Embassy not surprising spends much of its time spreading Chinese Communist Propaganda.  However, much of what the Chinese government says is a lie.  They lie to their own people on a regular basis and come up with the most egregious methods for silencing dissidents.  However, one day the Chinese Embassy took things too far.  For over a year nations around the world has condemned China for waging a campaign of genocide against the Uyghur Muslims in their nation.  However, in a Tweet, the Chinese Embassy in the U.S. tried to actually justify their actions by stating that the Concentration Camp system that they're putting the Uyghur's in is helping to "emancipate the minds of Uyghur Women and promote gender equality as well as promoting reproductive health so they're no longer baby-making machines."  Thankfully, Twitter had the sense to remove this tweet, but they have yet to ban the account of the Chinese Embassy in the U.S.  

Slate


The media outlet Slate put out a Tweet saying that non-violence is an important tool for protests, but so is violence.  They then linked it to a podcast that goes into the history and necessity of violent protests.  So shouldn't Slate be suspended for "inciting violence?"  However, not only has Slate not had their account banned, or suspended, but their Tweet that praises the "necessity of violence" is still up.  Apparently Twitter has no problem with this outlet inciting and encouraging violence.  




 Nicholas Maduro


The Infamous Socialist Dictator of Venezuela, Nicholas Maduro is responsible for the execution of thousands of dissidents as well as the imprisonment of many thousands more.  Not to mention the fact that his disastrous Socialist policies have forced over 4 million Venezuelans into exile.  Has Nicholas Maduro had his account banned for all of his crimes against humanity?  Of course not!  Apparently, Twitter doesn't think the fact that this guy ordered the execution of thousands, forced four million people out of his nation, and is responsible for one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes in the history of South America deserves to have his account terminated.  


To say that Twitter has a very strange standard on who to ban and who to not ban is a decisive understatement.

Hamas Invasion of Israel

The brutal invasion of Israel by Hamas caught the entire world by surprise.  Over the last few years Israel has become accustomed to turning back rocket attacks and occasional cross-border raids by Hamas terrorists, but nobody anticipated this brutal full-out invasion.  Already being dubbed as "Israel's 9/11," militants stormed across the Gaza border and attacked towns across southern Israel.  Already over 900 Israelis are confirmed dead, thousands more wounded, and over 100 hostages, including women & children, have been taken back to Gaza ( Video Footage of Massacres ).   Israeli Woman Taken Hostage by Hamas The deadliest massacre so far took place at the Nova Music Festival in the Negev Desert close to Urim, a Jewish community that lives close to the Gaza Strip.  At 6am on Oct. 7th, the attack on the festival began as rockets rained down and Hamas gunmen appeared and opened fire.  As of now over 260 Israelis are confirmed dead from this attack alone with a number o

The Plague of Jihad is all over the world.  The past few days has witnessed Israel suffer the most horrific attack that it has endured since the October War of 1973, yet for all of the senseless death, for all of the footage that we see of Hamas militants murdering Israelis in cold blood, many in the world are in fact celebrating this atrocity.   Hamas Supporters in Canada In Iran, crowds of Hamas supporters took to the streets to celebrate the slaughter of Israelis by Hamas while their government leaders lavished praise on the terrorists ( Link to Article ).  In the nation of Turkey, Hamas supporters crowded the streets of Istanbul chanting "Allahu Akbar" & "Khaybar Khaybar Ya Yahud" ( Link to Video ).  "Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, jaish Muhammad soufa ya'oud" is the full version of the chant.  It translates to "Khaybar Khaybar or Jews, the Army of Muhammad will return."  For those unfamiliar with the context of this chant, Khaybar was the

Hamas and Their Child Soldier Training Camps

Image
For years the world has known that Hamas deliberately targets children for indoctrination and training to carry out terrorist missions.  They have camps throughout Gaza and other areas of the Middle East where children are taught to hate, & trained to kill.  These camps are often referred to as "Summer Youth Camps."  The titles sound harmless enough, but unlike the summer youth camps in the U.S. and other Western nations where children play games, do crafts, and in general, have fun, the Hamas "Summer Youth Camps" are nothing like this.  They're training camps, where children are trained in weapons handling, military drills, and are indoctrinated to "hate the Infidel," particularly Jews.   Link to Video On videos that have circulated across the online world, these children have openly confessed that they have come here for the purpose of learning to fight.  One such video surfaced on MEMRI with a child openly stating "We did not come here to e
