White House Blasts Twitter for Approving Iran’s Threats to Annihilate Jewish State (While Banning Jewish Star)

White House slams social media giant for labeling Trump’s tweets with content warnings after Twitter says Iranian calls for genocide against Israel do not violate company policy.

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany slammed Twitter Friday, saying the social media giant was showing blatant bias by targeting conservatives, especially President Trump.

The comments came after Twitter company official Ylwa Pettersson told the Knesset last week that Iranian calls to wipe out Israel were just “foreign policy saber-rattling on military-economic issues [that] are generally not in violation of our rules.”

“I thought it was very eye opening and it tells you where these social media companies stand, where they’re not willing to assess the Ayatollah Khomeini’s tweets but they are willing to assess President Trump’s tweets,” McEnany told a White House press conference.

In May, Twitter started adding tags to some of the President’s tweets, labeling some of them as “unsubstantiated” and warning users to fact-check.

However, for years Iranian leaders have been tweeting their desire for the destruction of Israel, with one Iranian commander saying the goal of Iran’s military is “the total annihilation of Israel.”

“Israel is a malignant cancerous tumor in the West Asian region that has to be removed and eradicated,” Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said, among other statements about his aim for the elimination of the Jewish state.

Despite repeated requests from Israeli officials, Twitter has ignored calls to remove the tweets, calling them “comments on current affairs.”

“It’s really appalling, and it just speaks to their overwhelming, blinding bias against conservatives and against this president,” McEnany said.

Ellie Cohanim, U.S. Deputy Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Anti-Semitism, also called out Twitter for censoring Trump but not Khamenei.

“The hypocrisy is so thick it becomes clear to me … that this is about one thing and one thing only and that’s the elections coming up in the United States on November 3rd,” said Cohanim, herself an Iranian Jewish refugee who fled to freedom in America.

“The social media companies are behaving as the thought police & it must end,” Cohanim tweeted.

THIS is the stupid business model that Twitter is chasing in Iran . It now takes one million Iranian Rials to buy $4 US. There is NO money to be made in Iran, and yet the commies at Twitter keep supporting the Mullahs.

The Iranian people are suffering real lack. The regime, however wants to support terrorism rather than take care of its’ citizens.

This is what Israel must confront EVERY DAY from Iran. Constant cross-border attacks from Iranian proxies in Syria and Lebanon. As I write this, Israel is pounding Syrian military sites to retaliate against a failed cross-border infiltration from Syria on Monday morning.

As long as the great nation of Israel continues in “pounding” only military sites and refuses to combat their enemy with scorched earth warfare, this will only continue.

May 15, 1948 was not yesterday. This has been going on for a very long time.

Of course!! It is Bible prophecy!! It will continue until the Messiah returns and sets up His 1,000 year Kingdom in the New Jerusalem. The Jews have ALWAYS been a target because they are Yahweh’s chosen and without them, we wouldn’t even have our Bible! They do surgical strikes because they try very hard to save lives. They are doing what Yahweh WANTS them to do. Pray for them, rather than condemning them!

Matthew 7:1. A reference that I often make to FALSE Christians.

LOL!! Thanks … Try studying Torah, THEN you’ll understand the REST of God’s Word! I’m not a false ANYTHING, I’m a Messianic Jew.

Yanno … I had blocked you a year or 2 ago because you’re so rude and you let your tongue unleash before your brain engages. Perhaps I should not have unblocked you. Your “name” alone shows lack of respect for yourself. Tragic… yet you think you know God’s Word?! Really?!

So, you are telling me to only study the first five books of the Tanakh? The Nevi’im and Ketuvim are not worthy of study?

Perhaps, you should have someone try to read them to you, as it’s highly unlikely that you are capable of such.

You know NOTHING about G-d’s word. But, discussing anything with you is truly casting pearls before swine.

The Tanach is all of the prophets, the Torah is the first 5 books. And yes, it’s VERY important to study Torah! Because THAT is what the Messiah lived and taught! That is what the Disciples lived and taught. Without first studying Torah, you can’t possibly get a good understanding of the Brit Chadasha (New Testament).

And your rudeness will get you blocked again. I’ve been studying God’s Word for over 60 years, so I’m no doubt quite a bit ahead of you. I’m also a Hebrew scholar, which helps quite a bit more when studying books that were originally written in Hebrew. And yes, you truly behave like the swine you mention and like your HAND is quite used to.

If you have been studying G-d’s word “for over 60 years”, you REALLY need some help. You poor little thing.

Repent, while you still have time. Eternity is forever. As long as you draw breath, you still have time to repent. Repent and do so NOW.

Matthew was originally written in Hebrew and you’ll discover that there is another verse which says “judge righteously.” I don’t judge your spirit, only God can do that, but I DO judge your behavior, which I’m called to do. Psalm 144:1 You’re in over your head. Will pray for you, you hell-bound fool.

The Psalms are NOT in the Torah. However, I wouldn’t expect you to know that.

I do not judge YOUR behavior, as abhorrent and disgusting as I find it.

When you last “blocked” me, it was when I stated that I made monthly donations to “Students for Life” and asked what you did. Which was NOTHING.

You are in WAY over your head and extremely LIMITED in knowledge.

Repent. There is still time. As long as you draw breath,. there is time for you to repent. Eternity is forever. Consider that, then REPENT.

Repent, you washed out nothing. You claimed that all of Christ’s teachings came from the Torah and then tossed in a passage from the Psalms. You know absolutely NOTHING about G-d’s holy word. A washed out old hag that has never done anything, preaching falsehoods.

Repent before it’s too late. Eternity is forever. Unless you truly repent, you are damned.

There is one hate that’s always acceptable on the Left: JEW HATRED. Ever since Karl Marx wrote, “on the Jewish Question”, a phrase employed by the Nazis to devastating effect, Marx tied Judaism into Capitalism as a negative. However, let me let you in on the real secret behind Leftist and Islamic hatred of Judaism: it is its unwavering celebration of the INDIVIDUAL. In Judaism, MAN stands before GOD as an individual. His actions matter as an individual. That is really the core of the Bible: MAN as an individual stands before God. Whether it is Noah, Moses, Jonah, David, all man stand as individuals, very human individuals with foibles, weaknesses and flaws, before their God.

Leftism and Islam both decry individualism. One must give up individuality to serve as a herd, a mob. One no longer thinks for oneself but must submit and obey to the WILL of the PARTY or to the dictates of the diabolical death-cult. It is no wonder that Islam was the religion that most appealed to Hitler, and Nazis found haven in many Islamic countries after WWII. There is a symbiosis between Leftist and Islamic ideology.

we must stop the Big Tech censorship of anything decent and of a moral worldview during POTUS Trump’s tenure. If we fail to do this we are just a few years from normal, decent Americans being in gulag’s by selection from AI.
