@DrOzCMS While serving all participants of that august meeting.... LOTS of pizza! That's MAHA in action.

@bob426ec @JonathanSGlass @DanMulhall @CST_UK "They only behave this way to curry favour through manufactured victimhood."
Dead giveaway :-) No need to add anything. Thank you.

@NAChristakis If you feel that the poster of a kidnapped child hurts your cause, maybe yours is a lost cause.

@harnevo @WebSummit @paddycosgrave Let them bring all the great Palestinian software engineers. I’m sure they’ll more than replace the Jewish and Israeli entrepreneurs that will never attend that fake liberal conference.
All major companies with a significant presence in Israel should refuse to ever attend again.

@CatholicArena As a Jew I find this behavior despicable. Respect of other religions is paramount for a well-functioning society.
Besides, the beauty of that church is exceptional.

[Gilles Frydman @gfry]

@harnevo @WebSummit Their behavior only demonstrates how driven they are by plain antisemitism. I hope you help kill that conference. No company with a presence in Israel should ever give them another dollar. Freedom of speech exists, and so does freedom of choice.

Hello Katherine Maher @krmaher, congratulations on joining the sinking ship @WebSummit.

As the newly appointed CEO, tasked with ensuring the success of future events for your company (given that #Lisbon is now a dud thanks to @paddycosgrave@paddycosgrave), you have a unique opportunity to start fresh.
We urge you to take immediate action by instructing Adam Condon to cease and desist from these pathetic DMCA claims or face immediate termination. His vindictive and inconsistent behavior is eroding any remaining shreds of credibility your company may have.

You see Katherine, it's 2023, and it's quite astonishing that self-proclaimed social media experts like yourselves fail to comprehend the basic principles of free expression. Your feeble attempt to gag a video not only exposes staggering ignorance but also showcases the glaring hypocrisy that undermines the very foundation of your event.

Time is of the essence. Act swiftly and decisively.
Thanks #TBC

So the plot thickens!

Yesterday night, Tel Aviv time, my video about WebSummit and the Oct 7th genocide in Israel was removed from Twitter.

It wasn't only removed from my account (400,000 views), but also from @BillAckman's account (over 600,000 views), @HilzFuld's account (130,000 views), @JGreenblattADL, and multiple other accounts across Twitter.

The claim, listen to this: copyrights infringement!

This morning i got the official claim to my email. Do you know who's fighting to take down a video that went viral globally on every social platform?

It's the General Council of @WebSummit, Adam Connon!

The claim (attached): their official trailer "has been edited and repurposed to promote political agenda". Seriously, you can't make that shit up!

A week before their "celebration of pluralism" in Lisbon, the company is chasing every URL of our video in an attempt to shut our mouth and censor a video that legitimately criticize a behaviour they already "apologized" for!

The funny thing is we used less than 20 seconds from Web Summit's Official Trailer, in 6 different scenes, out of a 4:30mins video. The trailer is a promotional video that didn't change a thing to the real context of our story.

You might have heard that @paddycosgrave resigned a the CEO of WebSummit (he's still the largest share holder). Paddy also published a post he titled as "a sincere apology".

If that's the case, how come the company, which stated it'll make the right changes, is aggressively trying the take down our video from every social platform out there? What happened to it's "two sided liberalism" approach? What happened to free speech?

I hearby publicly ask WebSummit's new CEO, Katherine Maher, to pull back from it's ridiculous copyright infringement claim! Let the video run its course, swallow the PR damage, and act like a true progressive organization!

I invite every journalist that wants to cover the story to DM me. WebSummit's behaviour is a mix of cowardness and hypocrisy, and should be called out.

Please share this tweet 🙏

*** The blocked video is attached in the following tweet as a great evidence of what WebSummit has become.

@harnevo posted this yesterday and x removed it for some obscure reason. Probably trolls and fake accounts complaining about it.

Here is the amazing video he prepared and that was seen over 250K times ina. day

[Gilles Frydman @gfry]

@harnevo The thing is, most young people in the world have never seen Israel with anything other than Bibi's governments. They have a false impression of what Israelis really are. Your video is so useful.

[Gilles Frydman @gfry]

@harnevo Thank you! This is amazing. Just says it all.
I don't think we'll change a single mind today. But we'll have to keep on working on it, day after day, for the foreseeable future.

[Gilles Frydman @gfry]

@anarvirji So, is it to OK to remove them violently just as those with kidnapped Israelis have been forcefully removed?

Of course not. Just as removing the pictures of kidnapped is disgusting.

In both cases it is effective communication that should help all of us not dehumanize the others

[Gilles Frydman @gfry]

@MalcolmNance @PsychNurseLee So am I. Unfortunately it can only work if both sides accept the existence AND rights of the other. The Messianic Jews are a disgrace and MUST be stopped and face the full extent of the law. Hamas is genocidal and must be destroyed
