Calling Out Antisemitism on Twitter

     Yesterday, I put up a meme on Twitter about Mahmoud Abbas. It was about how Abbas said that no Israeli would ever be allowed to live among a Palestinian sate. Middle East politics is always controversial, but unfortunately at times you receive responses from someone who is on the side you disagree with to the nth degree. While sometimes these people are just trolls, the interaction I had the today was not with a troll. A twitter user by the name of @MEastQuagmire responded to me. We had an interaction where he made claims ranging from a video I posted being similar to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels to condoning the murder of Ezra Schwartz to comparing Hamas and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to condoning the knife attacks in Israel by Palestinians as okay under the Geneva Convention. These ridiculous claims by this man should remain public so people who follow him can understand the ludicrous aspects of these statements. He did say that he didn't condone the killing of any children of any religion, I do have to give him that. I wasn't going to post anything about this on my blog until I noticed that some of the tweets had been deleted. Due to this, I called him out on deleting tweets and he posted another tweet condoning the murder of Ezra Schwartz. I decided to take pictures of these in case more gets deleted. 


Tweets that didn't get deleted.





The original post started it all.








Some posts on his timeline.




Some posts by me so you can get a sense of what type of tweets he deleted.
