Limor Friedman: The radical calls for violence on Canadian streets (msn.com)
Glad to see how neutral you are. Your pronouncements are getting more and more venomous. C'mon. Let it all out. You've clearly given up on pretending that you're not an anti-Semite.
It shouldn't be too long before you're calling for the final solution.
Why don't you post this in the Politics section where it belongs instead of posting in the lounge ???
It's nice to see how much you care about Jews. I bet you even have friends that are Jews
How can you possibly write this and pretend that you're not anti-Semitic?
OK so you hate Musk and you hate Jews.
That still makes you anti-Semitic.
You're defending Musk?
And ADL?
What next, you're going to say there are some 'very fine people on both sides'?
Right winger/Zionists are really messed up these days.
Several large companies have pulled their ads from Musk's X over his agreement with anti-Semite tweets.
Advertisers are leaving the site formerly known as Twitter after a new report found that pro-Nazi content was appearing next to company ads and Musk himself supported a baseless antisemitic conspiracy theory to his 163 million followers.
IBM confirmed on Thursday that it is stopping advertising on X, saying the company has "zero tolerance for hate speech and discrimination."
The European Commission also condemned X's promotion of hate speech, confirming during a press briefing on Friday that it would no longer advertise on any social media platform.
As of Saturday morning, Disney, Comcast NBCUniversal, Warner Bros., Lionsgate, Paramount Global and Apple had all announced they were pulling ads from X, according to multiple news outlets that cited sources at the companies.
NPR reached out to each company to request confirmation. Spokespersons for Disney and Comcast NBCUniversal confirmed the reports, but no other companies had responded by the time of publication.
The advertising exodus comes after the liberal watchdog group Media Matters released a new report this week that found a number of major companies, including Apple, Amazon, Oracle NBCUniversal's Bravo network had advertisements showing up alongside white nationalist posts on the site.
On Saturday morning, Musk tweeted that X planned to file a lawsuit against Media Matters on Monday, accusing the group of wrongfully attacking the company's right to free speech.
Earlier in the week, Musk posted: "You have said the actual truth" in response to a post that claimed Jewish people hold "dialectical hatred" of white people.
The White House was among those who condemned the tweet, with deputy press secretary Andrew Bates calling it an "abhorrent promotion of Antisemitic and racist hate" which "runs against our core values as Americans."
The outcry over hate speech on X comes amid a financially challenging time for the platform, which generates nearly all of its revenue from advertising. Musk has publicly said that U.S. advertising revenue is down 60%, something he blamed on pressure from advocacy organizations, like the Anti-Defamation League.
For months, Musk has attempted to find other ways to make money on the social media platform, including charging for "verified" blue checks in a subscription service, but none of his efforts have gained momentum, just as the company's advertising base appears more rickety than ever.
X's chief executive Linda Yaccarino attempted to contain the fallout and lessen the hit to the company's wallet, writing on the site that X's stance "has always been very clear that discrimination by everyone should STOP across the board," adding that: "There's no place for it anywhere in the world — it's ugly and wrong. Full stop."
Musk tapped Yaccarino, the former head of advertising at NBCUniversial, in large part to help bring back major advertisers to the platform since Musk acquired it last year and unleashed drastic changes. Among Musk's shakeups has been loosening rules around what is allowed to be posted to the site, leading to a surge of hate and conspiracy theories.
"Aside from his own rhetoric, Musk has opened the floodgates to hateful content by reversing bans on anti-Muslim bigots, white nationalists, and antisemites," according to the new report from Media Matters, which also noted that X now pays some antisemitic creators for making posts go viral.
Jewish advocacy groups have said that allowing hate against Jews to spread on X during an escalating war in the Middle East is especially reckless.
"At a time when antisemitism is exploding in America and surging around the world, it is indisputably dangerous to use one's influence to validate and promote antisemitic theories," the Anti-Defamation league's CEO Jonathan Greenblatt wrote on the platform on Thursday.
In September, Musk held a public talk with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who asked Musk to do more to "roll back" hate against Jews on his platform.
In response, Musk said that he was "against attacking any group, doesn't matter who it is," but did not specifically commit to combating

Jewish right wing extremists, arab right wing extremists Russian and Serbian right wing extremists and Christian right wing extremists - all cut from the same cloth...
So you're saying that the NAACP is a hate group? How disgusting can you get. They are aligned with the ADL. DISGUSTING, that you've admitted that you hate black people as much as you hate Jew/Israelis.
NAACP President Derrick Johnson Named Co-Chair of ADL Sports Leadership Council | NAACP
New York, NY, October 4, 2021 – ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) today announced that NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson has been named co-chair of ADL's Sports Leadership Council. The Council, originally formed in fall 2017, works directly with key leaders in the sports world, including professional athletes, league commissioners and other industry leaders to increase the sports community's efforts to build bridges of understanding, unity and respect.
Derrick Johnson:
"I am proud to join this effort, alongside ADL, former Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott, and the impressive roster of Council members."
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell remarked: "At the NFL, we recognize we must break down barriers to opportunity and equality for our communities to thrive. The NAACP is a historic organization that does critically important work and we welcome Derrick to the ADL Sports Leadership Council."
"Derrick has been an invaluable resource, ally, and friend in the fight for equal justice, and I am proud to welcome him to the Council," said ADL CEO Jonathan A. Greenblatt.
Frank hates the ADL. The ADL are aligned with the NAACP who mutually agree that they share the same ideals for Jews and black people.
Frank admits that he hates blacks.
And the only ones who are working on eliminating some of this evil right now are IDF
Holy shit, shack, you've totally lost it.
This post is such wacko, nutty bullshit its unbelievable.
I mean, its not surprising that you've gone apeshit with the desire to back an extremist right winger like Musk. After all, all his money came from apartheid and you do so love apartheid.
But where on earth do you think I'm posting about the NAACP?
The NAACP thinks everyone should boycott Musk, I'm totally with them.
You're just out there with the racist nutbars these days.
