Elon Musk on Thursday appeared to have personally been involved in deleting a Twitter account that posted antisemitic content and praised Palestinian terrorism against Israelis.
Twitter user Ian Miles Cheong alerted Musk to the account — called Jisr Collective — by tagging him in a post of screenshots of the account’s tweets, one of which praised twin terrorist bomb blasts in Jerusalem on Wednesday as “spectacular.”
Another post labeled Mizrahi Jews — Jews of Middle Eastern origin — as “traitors who joined white supremacist zionists,” likely referencing the 850,000 Mizrachi and Sephardi Jews who were forced to flee persecution in Arab and Muslim countries following the birth of the State of Israel.
“We all know what happens to traitors,” the user appeared to threaten.
Cheong tweeted that Jisr Collective was a “terrorist group actively promoting and celebrating violence against Jews. The account has been active since 2021. I hope more can be done to crack down on this.”
