I would guess this policy is the result of ADL, other pro-Israel lobbying groups, and Israel itself, pressuring social media groups as part of their hasbara operation. And perhaps Elon Musk is a Zionist himself (he's certainly friends with many VCs who are).

Miguel de Icaza is a random person to censor. I'm sure it's just a crude, automated policy that goes off the content of the tweet and his account having a large follower count.

And I'm sure there's plenty of pro Palestinian and anti Jewish movements lobbying in the other direction, oil money is no joke.

No, there isn’t. Or you’re welcome to list groups with as much sway on the US govt as AIPAC or ADL.

Not so long ago all the accusation was the he was anti-Semitic.

The cognitive dissonance is loud.

And maybe he is, but recognizes a fellow fascist when he meets them?

Being antisemitic and pro Zionist is not a contradiction. Neither is being anti-antisemitic and anti-Zionist.

Zionism is not Judaism.

People change, right? Not so long ago he was pro Ukraine in the conflict with Russia and looked upon favorably by Ukrainians. Now he is clearly pro Russia and no longer looked upon favorably by Ukrainians.

Zionists have literally worked with Nazis to further the goals of Zionism. Look at the Haavara Agreement.
