Twitter accounts known to spread hate speech and misinformation have become trusted sources on Israel on Palestine — and they're getting paid.
Highlights: [P]aid clout-chasers on X, formerly Twitter, are using the conflict to boost their profiles — and a few who have successfully pivoted to pro-Palestine content were formerly known for hate speech, extremism, and conspiracy theories.
Other verified accounts that have quickly increased in size over the past several weeks by focusing on the suffering of Palestinians, but previously displayed a pattern of transphobic and LGBTQ comments, include former UFC and MMA fighter Jake Shields, banned YouTuber Ryan Dawson, and an anonymous “anti-woke” account called “Lord Bebo.”
They don’t pivot lol, Israel is literally the only safe place in the Middle East for trans and LGBTQ people. Islam is violently anti-woke by definition, not to mention all of its more extremist appendages. One must be completely stupid to not understand it.

You can support Palestine, a 2 state solution, etc. and also support LGBTQ rights
Same with women rights…
a lot of “people” seem to disagree with your comment but don’t have anything to counter with…
Twitter is a welfare plan for neo Nazis.
