      I’m out of the loop, what’s going on now? Is this Elon defending or attacking someone?

          Here’s how it goes for the uninitiated:

          Israeli politician, possibly a member of the Knesset or the mayor of a major city, gets on twitter following whatever current event:

          Tweet A, in English:

          We must work tirelessly for peace. Ceasefire now! Bring back the hostages!

          Tweet B, in Hebrew:

          The children of our enemies are terrorists. They are not children. Killing them is just killing a future terrorist. We should seriously consider nuclear weapons.

        They aren’t translating Hebrew posts anymore because it’s hard to pretend that Israel isn’t doing a genocide when all the posts in Hebrew from Israel are like “we need to kill every Arab man, woman, and child.”
