I'm glad to have gotten to cover Tech for Palestine for @ssir.org. Read about the incubator's (v ambitious!) efforts to "change [the tech industry] into something that’s pro-freedom, pro-liberation, and pro-human rights."

The answer here is that the ADL are fascists
helenkennedy.bsky.social Helen Kennedy @helenkennedy.bsky.social · Sep 29
Cozying up to fascists never ends well. If anyone should know that, it should be the ADL.
Wall Street Journal headline: Elon Musk's Gesture Wasn't a Fascist Salute, Says Head of ADL ADL V ADL. @ADL This is a delicate moment. It's a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety. It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge. In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let's hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead. 5:52 PM • 1/20/25 • 45M Views News | Politics ADL faces backlash for defending Elon Musk's raised-arm gesture After previously feuding with Musk, the pro-Israel group rushes to defend his gesture, which critics compared with a Nazi salute.

This was always the goal and don’t forget that this happened because of the Democrats/Joe Biden. TikTok was in zero danger of being banned and the ban was non existent until Biden/Dems worked w Gallagher to revive it because people were using the app to speak out about Israel’s genocide.

The Holocaust industry is used as Israeli propaganda. They have no interest in Never Again because they are not against genocide, just that specific one
rvbdrm.com Ravin Boodram @rvbdrm.com · Sep 6
On Thursday, the Holocaust Museum LA posted “'Never again' can’t only mean never again for Jews” on instagram. It’s notable because they would be recognizing the genocide in Gaza.

Anyway, they pulled it down today saying, “we promise to do better.”
Instagram post from Holocaust Museum LA with six panels. Messages include: “‘Never again’ can’t only mean never again for Jews.” “Never again for anyone.” “Jews must not let past trauma silence our conscience.” “Standing with humanity honors our people.” “To be Jewish is to remember and to act.” holocaustmuseumla HOLOCAUST MUSEUM LA, THE FIRST SURVIVOR-FOUNDED AND OLDEST HOLOCAUST MUSEUM IN THE COUNTRY, IS COMMITTED TO ITS CORE MISSION TO EDUCATE, COMMEMORATE, AND INSPIRE. WE RECENTLY POSTED AN ITEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT WAS PART OF A PRE-PLANNED SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN INTENDED TO PROMOTE INCLUSIVITY AND COMMUNITY THAT WAS EASILY OPEN TO MISINTERPRETATION BY SOME TO BE A POLITICAL STATEMENT REFLECTING THE ONGOING SITUATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THAT WAS NOT OUR INTENT. IT HAS BEEN REMOVED TO AVOID ANY FURTHER CONFUSION. WE PROMISE TO DO BETTER AND WE WILL ENSURE THAT POSTS IN THE FUTURE ARE MORE THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED AND THOROUGHLY VETTED. WE HAVE TAKEN ACTIONS INTERNALLY TO ENSURE OUR MESSAGE ALWAYS REMAINS CLEAR AND REFLECTIVE OF OUR MISSION TO INSPIRE HUMANITY THROUGH TRUTH. 167 41 minutes ago
