The Anti-Defamation League, the leading pro-Israel lobbying group in America, ordered a global advertiser boycott of Elon Musk's Twitter on Friday for not doing enough to censor Kanye "Ye" West and other critics of their power.

Today, we are joining dozens of other groups to ask advertisers to pause Twitter spending because we are profoundly concerned about antisemitism and hate on the platform. Here's why we're asking advertisers to #StopHateForProfit and #StopToxicTwitter🧵https://t.co/a83e2eTFwz

This past Tuesday, @Twitter’s new owner @elonmusk met with representatives from U.S civil society organizations, including @JGreenblattADL and @YaelEisenstat. Following that meeting, Musk pledged that "Twitter will continue to combat hate & harassment," including antisemitism.

Since that meeting, Musk permitted @kanyewest to start posting again. From Ye's "Death Con 3" tweet to @KyrieIrving promoting an antisemitic film, we've seen celebrities use Twitter to disseminate antisemitic conspiracy theories and hate to tens of millions of followers. pic.twitter.com/a173oYWFcv

When Adam Green, an antisemitic podcaster with over 28,000 followers, shared a tweet describing Judaism with terms like 'savage,' 'evil,' and 'wicked,' Twitter declined to remove it after being alerted to it by ADL, saying that it did not violate its community guidelines.

Twitter has been one of the primary places for disseminating the Boston Mapping Project, which called on activists to 'dismantle' Jewish community institutions and a wide array of essential Jewish community groups because they support Israel.

Musk has also conducted massive layoffs, gutting staff that supported combating antisemitism and hate on Twitter. Until Musk makes real changes to #stophateforprofit, we urge advertisers to #StopToxicTwitter by pausing their advertising on the platform globally.

Pfizer, whose CEO Albert Bourla is headlining the ADL's "Never Is Now" event in New York City next week -- which they describe as the "world's largest annual summit on antisemitism" -- was one of the first to pull all ads from Twitter on Thursday.

(Note, corrupt FBI Director Chris Wray is also going to be at the event.)

Pfizer was handed billions of taxpayer dollars for their forced vaccinations and they're now using our money to shut down free speech.

As I previously reported, the ADL also received up to $10 million in taxpayer Paycheck Protection Program bailout funds during the covid scare -- which they're using to shut down our First Amendment rights.

Advertisers should support:

"Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists," Elon Musk lamented on Friday. "Extremely messed up! They're trying to destroy free speech in America."

Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.

After Ian Miles Cheong told him, "It's time to stop appeasing the activists because they will stop at nothing to hurt Twitter regardless of what you do," Musk responded, "You're right."

You’re right
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 4, 2022

That assessment is more accurate than most people realize

Incidentally, this was one of the top responses I saw on Musk's tweet:

Though Musk is doing a lot to keep the previous censorship regime in place, the Berlin Wall Twitter had in place to censor everything before it's allowed to trend appears to have come down.

The ADL is in total panic mode and they're working with the FBI to hype fake threats against them.

Gab CEO Andrew Torba warned on Thursday that the ADL/FBI may soon stage a false flag attack to bolster their "victimhood narrative."

With the midterms coming up on Nov 8th there's huge incentive for the feds to stage an attack just like they did with the Michigan Gov. Whitmer "kidnapping plot" right before the 2020 presidential election.

Don't fall for it.

Everyone should be allowed to have a voice and every group should be allowed to be criticized. No one should be subject to any violence.

Ye has stated unequivocally he believes in nonviolence and his only goal is to free his people and defend himself from the onslaught he's facing from hate groups like the ADL who want to silence his voice.
