@ZaidJilani “I’m sure he figured it out eventually” - in your own words, Platner knowingly realized he had a Nazi symbol tattooed on his body, and did nothing to remove it.

[flipforchips @flipforchips]

@DaveErnesto @jonfavs @mkhammer The origins story seems true. That Platner - a self described history buff - never realized it was Nazi imagery over the subsequent two decades is difficult to believe.

@paulg @nfergus @Caltech A number of woke talking points rationalize and even celebrate violence against perceived oppressors or political opponents.

Off the top of my head: Hasan Piker, Taylor Lorenz/Luigi Mangione, and celebrations of October 7 come to mind.

@CASMIIOfficial @Dwiggy333 @mamoun_linda @lhfang If you bothered to read up on this story vs reposting misleading screenshots, you would understand he was not in fact “the one that writes the updates”, the entire problem is folks signed up for the center listserv and he unethically took this list to send his personal screeds.

Feel like not enough people are aware of this part of the California high-speed rail story:

@CASMIIOfficial @Dwiggy333 @mamoun_linda @lhfang How is it you don’t understand that if you work for a university center, it’s not ok to hijack their email listserv to email out your own personal political screeds? That not being allowed isn’t fascism you dolt - it’s a basic rule of any company, institution, or center.

[flipforchips @flipforchips]

@CASMIIOfficial @Dwiggy333 @mamoun_linda @lhfang In the very post you replied to, I clearly state it is grossly inappropriate for an admin to utilize the center email listserv for their own personal long form political ramblings, regardless if I agree with those ramblings or not.

Did you read anything I wrote? #dingus

[flipforchips @flipforchips]

@Dwiggy333 @CASMIIOfficial @mamoun_linda @lhfang The entire point is it isn’t relevant whether you or I agree with his missives. Whether they said Zionism or the Palestinian cause are cancerous, it is very obviously an inappropriate violation for the admin to use the center email listserv to air their personal greviances.

[flipforchips @flipforchips]

@SherifaZuhur @mamoun_linda @lhfang It’s wildly inappropriate to be an administrative director of a center and improperly use their listserv for your personal political missives, much less to call Zionism cancerous and repeat propaganda laden lies that Iran never pursued nuclear weapons.

[flipforchips @flipforchips]

@SherifaZuhur @mamoun_linda @lhfang Yes it’s strange that nothing was linked in the widely circulated original post - just a distorted screenshot with over 1,700 likes and 700 reposts.

@Dwiggy333 @CASMIIOfficial @mamoun_linda @lhfang Quote from Seattle Times article:

https://t.co/HVW4Q7ENHQ

[flipforchips @flipforchips]

@Dwiggy333 @CASMIIOfficial @mamoun_linda @lhfang “He wrote that he saw Zionism as ‘cancerous, a potentially fatal outgrowth in our planetary body.’”

Ok, so the admin head of a uni center blasts emails to the center listserv saying Palestine is cancerous (among spewing other lies). It’s censorship for the center to…stop this?

[flipforchips @flipforchips]

@Dwiggy333 @CASMIIOfficial @mamoun_linda @lhfang To clarify - if someone sent multiple emails to your entire company email listserv where they spewed propaganda and called Palestinians “cancerous”, you would call it censorship if the company didn’t allow them to continue to send these emails to the company listserv?

[flipforchips @flipforchips]

@CASMIIOfficial @mamoun_linda @lhfang It wasn’t a discussion - he sent two screeding emails to a 2,000+ center listserv where he also called Zionism “cancerous”. It’s not fascism for an institution to frown on their employee lobbing propaganda filled emails to their listserv. Same if he called Palestinians cancerous.

[flipforchips @flipforchips]

@CASMIIOfficial @mamoun_linda @lhfang All of it - for one, it is a lie that it’s “always BS” that Iran was pursuing nuclear weapons.

Is it possible it was wildly inappropriate to send this garbage to the entire center listserv? You all really do live in an echo chamber.

@ramez You “don’t think it matters much” that Covid leaked from a Wuhan lab and this leak was covered up by the Chinese government?

@conor64 @priyaee Why are you normalizing entire neighborhoods in the heart of California cities being overrun by homeless and drug needles?

@bennetthaselton @zachweinberg Can you link the survey so we can see the methodology, who conducted the survey, survey questions and phrasing, and results?

I know Ryan Grim's attack is aimed at @jaketapper, but let me respond since he is referencing my post:

1) Dropsite News is absolutely terror propaganda. The site has repeatedly shared clear falsehoods and spin directly from U.S.-designated terror groups.
Ex: https://t.co/742qwV5386

In fact, this is so apparent that even the Palestinian ambassador has called them out as “compromised” advocates for Hamas: https://t.co/6iaCzb9NLn

2) There is actually a lot of “credible evidence” of rapes. Witness testimony, like the example he is dismissing, is credible evidence. There are several other witnesses. There are the video confessions from captured Hamas terrorists. There is extensive physical evidence, including many victims found naked and with broken pelvises.

Even the UN experts, who are hardly pro-Israel, have concluded that “There are reasonable grounds to believe that conflict-related sexual violence — including rape and gang-rape — occurred across multiple locations of Israel and the Gaza periphery during the attacks on 7 October 2023”

You can read the UN report here: https://t.co/rC31sB4O07

All while propagandist Ryan Grim says “no credible evidence”

3) His response to this specific example is full of intentional nonsense meant to cover for terrorist rapists. He claims they couldn’t have done this because IDF helicopters were bearing down on them. The attack on Nova started before 7 am. There were no helicopters near the area until over 3 hours later. We have countless videos of terrorists operating openly for hours. He also claims they could not have shot an RPG at the car because they would have been blown up, but we have over a dozen videos of the hamas terrorists shooting RPGs at cars throughout the attack.

He’s calling the witness and victim a liar based on no evidence other than preferring a narrative that the terrorist murderers he supports aren’t also rapists. But they were. And the fact that he continues to deny it speaks volumes about him.
