Highlights: [P]aid clout-chasers on X, formerly Twitter, are using the conflict to boost their profiles — and a few who have successfully pivoted to pro-Palestine content were formerly known for hate speech, extremism, and conspiracy theories.

Other verified accounts that have quickly increased in size over the past several weeks by focusing on the suffering of Palestinians, but previously displayed a pattern of transphobic and LGBTQ comments, include former UFC and MMA fighter Jake Shields, banned YouTuber Ryan Dawson, and an anonymous “anti-woke” account called “Lord Bebo.”

    while the Arabs have gotten you cunts to scream “genocide” for the last 70 years, the actual “palestinian” headcount has grown a hundred fold. that word doesn’t mean what you think it means. much like every other piece of any argument you might have gleaned from the antisemites which you now make your own. you don’t help arabs with this, and you certainly don’t help jews. you help the terrorists, and i hope you understand this.
