My family won’t be going to my towns menorah lighting tonight because it received threats, thanks to rampant antisemitism on Twitter. Fuck you Elon.

You can't go anywhere nowadays without being possibly shot up or assaulted. Thanks to every one of the MAGA fuckheads.

My temple now has armed guards after threats were made. My mother even took the mezuzah off the front door side to our house.

That's awful. The irony is that a mezuzah was traditionally supposed to protect the home. Stay strong.

Ya, before Elon bought Twitter, nobody made threats against Jews.

Entirely missing the point. Before "free speech absolutionist" elon took over twitter, threats like those would be reported and deleted. Elon is too busy chasing after mean tweets towards him and suspending journalists to actually deal with issues like these threats.

Ah, because if the tweets were removed then those people could just keep hiding their hatred. Makes sense.

What? The point of removing them is to not give those views a platform. If they have that platform they can draw like minded people together, and more easily rile themselves up and get enough to support to make those threats credible.

i think it's less about hiding, and more about giving any of these notions any credence.
