I doubt whoever runs the wikileaks twitter account was unfamiliar with the history of the 3 parentheses thing. The 3 parentheses people are not doing this to overcome unicode issues.

Also who knows who runs the wikileaks twitter account. I find that a little creepy.

A bunch of the people attacking him, "ironically" were putting the parentheses in their names, and Assange was trying to find the pattern. that understandably upset some people, since it was meant to be a malicious "pattern", but that was neither his fault nor sufficient cause for a bunch of people to just straight up lie about him.

After he got called out on it he went into damage control, I mean seriously it would really compromise his mission to out of the blue just make an intentional overt anti-Semitic remark.
