Twitter Jail
I’ve said “Death to the IDF” multiple times. In fact, I’ve been dancing around my living room singing it. Well, that and “Boom, Boom Tel Aviv” – I alternate between the two songs.
I’ve said “Death to the IDF” at least 20 times on Musk’s “free speech” platform in the last few days. No ban. No warning. No problem.
But the moment I said it under a post by Katie fucking Hopkins? Twelve-hour suspension.
Let that sink in.
You can chant for genocide on that hellsite every single day. You can mock murdered children, peddle state propaganda, and share footage of bombs raining down on Gaza with cheering emoji. No problem. The algorithm smiles and boosts you.
But say one sentence—a morally justified, direct call against a military force known to be flattening entire neighbourhoods—and suddenly, you’re the problem.
“Death to civilians”? Twitter nods.
“Death to the military killing them”? Twitter Time-Out.
That’s not moderation. That’s ideological enforcement. That’s power protecting itself.
Katie Hopkins can tweet bile day and night, call migrants cockroaches, and cheer ethnic cleansing. She froths at the mouth blaming refugees for every problem this country has. No ban. No police visit. No problem.
But I say one thing that pushes back? Ban. Suspension. Silence.
Because here’s how it works:
- It’s not just what you say—it’s who you say it to.
- Targeting someone protected? You’re a violator.
- Say the same thing to nobody in particular? Background noise.
And by the way, I’m not calling for any censorship of any kind here. I’m not calling for police to go knocking on Katie’s, or anybody else’s door. I’m 100% behind and support Katie’s right to spew whatever hateful bile she wants about Muslims. What I am against, though, is the clear censorship of any opposition to it.
“The antidote to bad speech is more speech, not censorship.” — Jimmy Dore
They don’t ban hate. They curate visibility.
They protect the powerful from consequence. They hide behind vague “community standards” that only apply when the wrong people speak with too much clarity.
And let’s be real: “Death to the IDF” isn’t hate speech. It’s a direct political stance against a military machine that’s killed thousands of children, bombed hospitals, flattened refugee camps, and used British weapons to do it.
It’s not hate speech.
It’s resistance speech.
And apparently, that’s the biggest threat of all.
So fuck Elon Musk.
Fuck Katie Hopkins.
And fuck every coward behind the curtain who thinks you can criminalise a conscience and algorithm your way out of complicity.
This far. No further.
