Emmanuel Todd on Russophobia, Protestantism, Catholicism and beauty.
“What we have seen appear recently in Europe is a specifically European Russophobia, a specifically European warmongering, centered on Northern Europe, on Protestant Europe. Protestant Europe is the United Kingdom, it’s the majority of Germany, it’s Scandinavia, it’s two out of three Baltic countries. I have been in contact or even visited several countries following the translations of my latest book, and I have noticed that Spain, Italy, Catholic countries in general, are neither Russophobes nor hawkish. To end this conference, I would like to try to explain why Protestantism is more dangerous in its zero state than Catholicism. Protestantism is more capable of leaving behind a nihilistic society. Protestantism, and the same could be said of Judaism, was a very demanding religion. There was God, there was the faithful, and the world was secondary. The beauty of the world in particular was rejected with, among other things, a refusal of images, a refusal of the visual arts. When such religions, obsessed with transcendence, disappear, nothing remains. The world itself is not interesting, empty. This intense void opens up a particular possibility of nihilism. Catholicism is a less demanding, more humane religion that can accept the idea that the world is, in itself, beautiful. The images have not been rejected in the Catholic world, and the Catholic world is filled with artistic wonders. In a Catholic country, if you lose God, you are left with the feeling of this beauty of the world. If you are French, you still have the feeling that you live — an illusion no doubt — in the most beautiful country in the world. If you are Italian, you actually live in the country in the world where there are the most beautiful things, since Italy itself has become an object of art. In such contexts, the fear of the metaphysical void is less intense, and therefore the risk of nihilism less. In my opinion, the country in Europe least threatened by nihilism is Italy, because in I…

Update: according to debunkers, even tho translations aren't available as of now and grok himself recognize the limitations, this is misinformation.
Viral Rumor on X Claims Disabled Hebrew Translations Hide Hate Speech, Debunked as Misinformation A rumor that spread rapidly on X on November 17, 2025, alleged the platform disabled automatic Hebrew translations to conceal inflammatory content amid the lsrael-Gaza conflict, amplified by influential users and X's Al Grok. The claim originated from misleading screenshots showing missing translate buttons on Hebrew posts. Debunkers, including media watchdog HonestReporting, confirmed the issue stemmed from longstanding limitations in Apple's translator for mixed-language text, with tests showing Hebrew translations remain fully functional on X.

Più o meno. Però nonostante Grok stesso lo riconosca, è anche disinformazione. "source: they made it up"

Grok's own conclusion is that "In summary, the lack of similar limits on other languages reflects reactive, inconsistent policies"
While surges in hate speech, incitement, and disinformation have indeed been documented across multiple languages on X during the Israel-Gaza conflict—including Arabic, English, and others—the platform's decision to suspend automatic translations appears limited to Hebrew as a pinpointed intervention rather than a broad policy. This isn't because Hebrew content is uniquely problematic or that other languages lack similar issues; instead, it stems from a combination of factors like focused advocacy highlighting Hebrew-specific spikes, inconsistent moderation practices, and allegations of platform bias in handling content from different sides of the conflict. Key Reasons for the Hebrew-Specific ApproachTargeted Response to Documented Hebrew Surges Without Parallel Advocacy for Others: Groups like 7amleh have extensively tracked and publicized massive volumes of anti-Palestinian incitement in Hebrew on X—over 19,000 instances in the weeks following October 7, 2023, and up to 10 million across social media in 2023—prompting direct pressure on the platform to act without full censorship. Suspending translations was a low-friction way to curb global amplification of this content (e.g., calls for genocide or dehumanization) while keeping posts accessible to Hebrew speakers, aligning with X's free speech ethos under Elon Musk. In contrast, while surges in antisemitic content in Arabic have been reported (e.g., deep-rooted antisemitism amplified post-October 7, with spikes in conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial), these haven't triggered equivalent translation blocks, partly due to less coordinated advocacy demanding that specific measure. Organizations like the ADL and CyberWell have flagged Arabic antisemitism, but their calls often focus on content removal or algorithmic tweaks rather than translation halts. Different Moderation Tactics for Other Languages: X has faced criticism for uneven enforcement overall, with reports showing it removes or flags only about 4% of reported hate speech across the board during the conflict. For antisemitic or pro-Hamas content (often in Arabic or English), the platform has sometimes opted for account suspensions, post flagging, or algorithmic demotion instead of translation suspensions. For instance, Arabic-language antisemitism surged with the war, but X's responses have included verifying accounts that spread such misinformation, exacerbating the issue without blanket tools like translation blocks. A broader suspension across languages could disrupt legitimate global discourse, which X avoids unless a "critical threshold" of complaints is met, as seen uniquely with Hebrew. Allegations of Bias Influencing Decisions: Multiple sources, including from pro-Palestinian perspectives, accuse X of systemic favoritism—allowing more anti-Palestinian hate in Hebrew to persist while aggressively censoring or suspending pro-Palestinian accounts (hundreds reported amid the war) and Arabic content critical of Israel. This mirrors broader claims of "shadowbanning" or reduced visibility for Palestine-related posts, while Hebrew incitement faces lighter touch until external pressure builds. On the flip side, pro-Israel groups and reports highlight X's lax handling of antisemitic surges in Arabic and English, attributing it to gutted moderation teams and premium verification enabling misinformation spreaders. These biases—whether real or perceived—mean actions like translation suspensions aren't applied uniformly, often reacting to vocal stakeholders rather than proactive equity. In summary, the lack of similar limits on other languages reflects reactive, inconsistent policies driven by specific pressures and uneven enforcement, not an absence of problems elsewhere. If surges in Arabic or other languages reach a similar advocacy-fueled tipping point, X could extend such measures , but current evidence shows a patchwork approach amid the conflict's polarization.

It's not the language, it is the users, according to Grok. But there is a surge of violence also in other languages
The same concerns about amplification of inflammatory content haven't led to similar translation suspensions for other languages on X primarily because the platform's decision was a targeted response to a uniquely documented surge in hate speech, incitement to violence, and genocide advocacy specifically in Hebrew-language posts, which spiked dramatically amid the Israel-Gaza conflict starting in October 2023. reddit.com +1 Advocacy groups like 7amleh tracked over 10 million instances of such violent Hebrew content across social media in 2023 alone, averaging 23 posts per minute after October 7, with over 99% of it appearing on X—far outpacing reported surges in other languages during the same period. 7amleh.org +2 While other languages (e.g., Arabic or English) have seen rises in antisemitic or inciting content related to the conflict, these haven't reached the same documented volume or led to platform-wide translation blocks, as X's moderation focuses on case-by-case enforcement rather than blanket measures unless a critical threshold is hit. inss.org.il +1 No other languages appear to have faced similar translation halts as of now. reddit.com Hebrew as a language isn't inherently more violent in any measurable linguistic or structural way—there's no evidence from studies or analyses suggesting it predisposes users to aggressive content more than languages like English, Arabic, or others. arxiv.org The "violence" here refers to the contextual spike in user-generated hate speech and incitement on social media, driven by geopolitical events rather than the language itself, with similar patterns observable in other languages during conflicts but not at the same intensity for Hebrew on X during this period.

Apparently this applies only to hebrew: "it was a targeted response to a documented spike in untranslated Hebrew posts containing incitement, genocide advocacy, and dehumanization-over 19,000 such instances reported" 🤷🏼
No, posts in other languages with similar inflammatory or policy- violating content (like calls for violence or hate speech) are not automatically "cancelled" or suspended as a blanket policy-- instead, X's moderation typically involves case-by-case reviews, warnings, or account suspensions when reported, rather than preemptive language-based blocks. @YousefMunayyer The platform has emphasized free speech under Elon Musk's leadership, often avoiding mass removals unless content explicitly violates rules, but enforcement has been inconsistent across languages. threads.com For instance, while there's been criticism of lax moderation for Arabic-language content during the same Israel-Gaza tensions, translations for Arabic and most other languages remain active without similar restrictions. @YousefMunayyer Suspending translations for all languages wasn't pursued because the measure was a targeted response to a documented spike in untranslated Hebrew posts containing incitement, genocide advocacy, and dehumanization-over 19,000 such instances reported since October 2023-amid the conflict, where automated translations were seen as amplifying this to global audiences. instagram.com +1 A broader suspension could hinder legitimate A broader suspension could hinder legitimate cross-language communication on the platform, which supports over 30 languages for translations, and wasn't deemed necessary since the surge was Hebrew-specific. developer.x.com X's approach prioritizes limiting virality without full censorship, aligning with its policies. Yes, this translation suspension appears unique to Hebrew as of now-no similar widespread blocks have been reported for Arabic, Farsi, or other languages, despite calls from advocacy groups for better moderation across the board. If the situation evolves (e.g., with surges in other languages), policies could change, but current evidence points to Hebrew as the outlier.

Grok explains the suspension with the reason that literal translations would be inflammatory, but they want to promote "free speech" 🤌🏼
X chose to suspend automatic translations from Hebrew rather than the posts themselves primarily to curb the global amplification of inflammatory or policy-violating content without outright censoring or suspending the original Hebrew-language material. reddit.com This approach aligns with the platform's emphasis on free speech, allowing such posts to remain visible to Hebrew speakers while preventing their inadvertent spread to non-Hebrew audiences through potentially literal or inaccurate translations that could escalate tensions. @grok Reports indicate that suspending translations was a targeted response to a surge in untranslated hate speech and calls for violence in Hebrew, which had been documented in over 100,000 instances since the onset of heightened Israel-Gaza tensions, without removing the accounts or content to avoid broader censorship accusations. business-humanrights.org +1 As for examples of the kind of inflammatory language involved, based on reports from advocacy groups and media analyses during the Israel-Gaza conflict, this often includes hate speech, dehumanization, and incitement to violence in Hebrew posts. Hypothetical translations of such content (drawn from patterns in documented cases) might look like:Calls for collective punishment, e.g., "There are no innocent civilians in Gaza—flatten it all." reddit.com Dehumanizing rhetoric, such as referring to Palestinians as "animals" or "vermin" that need to be "eradicated." Direct incitements, like "Wipe out every last one in Gaza" or advocacy for genocide without specifying methods, often shared without facing immediate suspensions. threads.com +1 Antisemitic or anti-Arab slurs in responses, such as telling someone to "mind your own business, Jew" in mixed-language threads. variety.com These examples reflect broader patterns of content that reportedly spiked, contributing to real-world risks by fueling division, though the platform has struggled with consistent moderation. apnews.com If you have specific posts in mind, I can analyze them further. 1 post 20 web pages

Officially
X Disables Hebrew Translation to Prevent Spread of Inflammatory Content X, the social media platform owned by Elon Musk, has disabled automatic translations for Hebrew posts to avoid inaccurate renditions that amplify potentially harmful content to global audiences, as confirmed by its Al chatbot Grok on November 17, 2025. The decision addresses a surge in Hebrew-language hate speech since the Israel-Gaza conflict began in October 2023, with reports documenting over 19,000 instances of violent incitement. No similar restrictions apply to Arabic or other languages, prompting user backlash accusing the platform of bias while others see it as a technical safeguard.
