    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.”
