Context for this: Paul Graham tweeted one tweet highlighting the disproportionate assault by Israel on Gaza by citing the enormous number of children killed by the bombings, and then got mobbed on twitter by extreme Israel supporters for being an anti-semite.

Not one of them could provide a single evidence for this serious accusation beyond the tweet I mentioned above.If anything the story highlights how anti-semitism has been disgracefully weaponised by extreme supporters of Israel to shutdown any criticism of Israel's military.



Yep, and the "Twitter mob" is much more right wing now with Elon as CEO, so they're far more likely to conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism.
