Poor old Titania Mcgrath suffered another temporary twitter ban this week. Dare to suggest on this platform that there are 2 not 108 genders, that you have reservations about your teenage daughter sharing a changing room with a bearded “woman” with a penis, or that Israel might be allowed to defend itself and you get banned. Twitter only seems to believe in free speech if you say the correct things. Take this little gem below. Ali Abunimah has a blue tick so does twitter condemn his absurd Jew hatred which sees him accuse a Jewish activist, David Harris, of “holocaust revisionism” as he defends the desecration of Churchill’s statue in London by Black Lives Matter activists?
The Jewish activist in question merely pointed out that between 1939 and 1941 Britain stood almost alone against Hitler. The US was neutral in World War Two until Japan attacked it and Russia was actually fighting with the Nazis as they carved up Poland. Its truce with the facsists only ended when Germany invaded Russia. What David Harris says is not holocaust revisionism but cast in stone fact.
Yet Ali Abunimah, who spits out the word “zionist” as only a Jew hater can do ignores the facts, ignores two years of Soviet collaboration with Nazi Germany, instead focussing on how the Russians liberated Auschwitz and got to Berlin before the British and Americans. The British liberated Belsen. These matters are not relevant in this debate. The facts stated by David Harris are correct and are one reason why Churchill’s statue should never be desecrated. I have reservations about some of the decisions Churchill took as PM during the war, but as a nation we are right to remember a conflict in which many of us have ancestors who lost their lives and where we, as a nation, worked with, late to the party, allies and together defeated evil.
But on twitter facts count for nothing and Jew hatred is somehow acceptable. Sadly among the liberal elites of the west that seems par for the course in these dark days.
