Twitter’s policies stipulate that users “may not threaten violence against an individual or a group of people” and that “you may not threaten or promote terrorism or violent extremism.”Moreover, the company’s Hateful Conduct Policy stipulates that a user “may not promote violence against, or directly attack, or threaten other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin or religious affiliation... or calls for mass murder.”Khamenei’s Quds Day statements were condemned by world leaders from US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell, as well as UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Nickolay Mladenov.“Dangerous calls for the destruction of Israel should be condemned by all,” Mladenov said. “Such inciteful rhetoric is a modern form of antisemitism.”The West Bank must be armed, just as Gaza. The only thing that can reduce the Palestinians’ hardships is the hand of power. Otherwise, compromise won’t reduce a bit of the cruelty of this usurping, evil, wolf-like entity.#FlyTheFlag
