silly that there's been so much focus on this tweet. practically every account I follow has been quote tweeting it the past few days 'dunking' on it - all it does is play into the narrative that all anti-israel protests are anti-semitic. some random moron on twitter engaged in holocaust denial, who cares, that's not exactly a rare sight. this isn't a serious problem, no one on this website needs to be told "don't do this".

    That's the classic tactic. Find the absolute worst fringe takes and amplify them to paint an entire group with the same brush. It works pretty well since people are happy to believe the worst about their opposition.

    They did this with feminism to get the mra and redpill community off the ground. Quite successfully damaged it to this day. People really bought into that whole psycho feminist sjw shit at the time.
