        Now that I had to look up quotes anyway…

        He was arguing (on that dead-bird-shitshow) that Jews are using their cultural, financial and media influence to weaponize the West’s guilt around the persecution of Jews against innocent Arabs.

        Then he deleted the tweet, to repeat the same in several interviews while at the same time claiming that he’s not allowed to say what he just said live on tv.

        I don’t remember the original wording, but I’m pretty sure instantly switching over to “the jews controlling media, culture and finance are the reason I got cancelled” (the oldest page in the book about the jewish world conspiracy) is more than enough to evaluate his views…

            In several interviews in British media, where he spoke (uncensored) about censorship in the West being more intense and more rediculous than in China. About the fact that he -while freely talking on TV- is somehow not allowed to freely talk about the truth. And about how “the sense of guilt around the persecution of the Jewish people” is weaponized against Arabs via the “Jewish community’s significant influence in the media, finance and culture in the US”.

            The latter btw is the bullshit he originally argued. So he is in fact openly telling us to blame all that evil Jewish influence while at the same complaining that he is not allowed to speak about exactly what he is allowed to repeatedly say in interviews…

      Perhaps this is the deleted tweet in question:

      The sense of guilt around the persecution of the Jewish people has been, at times, transferred to offset the Arab world. Financially, culturally, and in terms of media influence, the Jewish community has had a significant presence in the United States. The annual $3bn aid package to Israel has, for decades, been touted as one of the most valuable investments the United States has ever made. This partnership is often described as one of shared destiny.

      It’s pretty bad. Don’t lay Zionism on all Jews, folks, and don’t propagate racist tropes about shadowy Jewish finance & cultural/media influence.

      Edit to add that The Guardian reports this tweet as well.
