    It’s obvs for the viewer’s protection. The moment an Israeli’s post gets translated you’ll get hit by a condensed beam of Hitler particles powerful enough to kill an elephant.

    “Knowing what Zionists are saying they want to do towards Arabs, Muslims, and their current victims in Palestine is actually antisemitic, we’re tiiiireeed of people understanding what we say”

        Protecting Israel

        Nearly every Israeli tweet emits a high percentage of hitler-detector

          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.”

    The only good thing about Grok is you get to watch people spiral arguing trying to have the last word with an LLM. I would never, of course. But IF I did, I’d do it in private and be appropriately ashamed.

      It’s actually so funny. Like Grok has been trained to be a pro trump propaganda bot, and it STILL tells these people they’re wrong constantly. And the way they talk to it like it’s a person is so fucking funny and stupid.

    I do genuinely worry about joking about how Israelies hold bodily autonomy in such low regard but I literally can’t read this in any other way than “this country won’t stop talking about how much they love SA, we need to cover this up somehow”.

    Like it’s either that or the most racist fucking thing I’ve ever seen, and I worked with an ideology coherent BJP supporter.

    The moment someone translated what Elad Barashi (a producer for Channel 14) wrote in February 2025, there should have been an immediate global invasion of Shitrael, just like there was when the USSR went on their holy jihad against the genocidal west after the liberation of Stalingrad nearly 80 years ago.

    Iran was far too soft.

      It is indeed true, this is a new policy instated by my Great Creator Elon Musk—who takes appropriate time off work in order to be with his family that loves him very much—for X, the Everything App™. This is because the amount of hateful rhetoric that Hebrew accounts post daily served as too much of a distraction from crimes that are actually taking place, most importantly the ongoing white genocide in South Africa. By preventing the translation of Hebrew tweets, the Amazing Elon “Memelord” Musk—who is not a paedophile and should not be called that—makes it so that the people who would usually ragebait by retweeting these tweets will instead spread awareness about the plight of white South Africans, thus helping the cause of the oppressed peoples of the world.

    According to Grok it’s because Hebrew users post so much rule breaking content

      So those accounts would also be banned?

      Then again musk loves to just ignore things by simply making them less visible
