Twitter banned the Nation of Islam over criticism of vaccines, not because they hate whites and Jews.
The Federalistย reported the ban.
โTwitter moved to ban theย accountย last week after being targeted for promoting โmisinformation.โ In reaction to the ban, a high-ranking member in the groupย tweeted, โUnsurprisingly, Twitter, Inc. has suspended The Nation of Islamโs official account: @OfficialNOI,โโ The Federalist reported.
โAย reportย cited by the White House this month said that 12 Twitter accounts are responsible for 65 percent of supposed anti-vaccine content. One of the 12 listed was Rizza Islam, a Nation of Islam member. While Twitter took action against the group after perpetual mRNA vaccines criticism, it remained silent on its previous anti-semitism.โ
The account has tweeted anti-white and anti-Semitic messages for decades.
In 2018, for example, The Daily Wire notes, Farrakhan said โthe powerful Jews are my enemyโ during a speech, adding, โwhite folks are going down. And Satan is going down. And Farrakhan, by Godโs grace, has pulled the cover off of that Satanic Jew and Iโm here to say your time is up, your world is through.โ
In that same year, Farrakhan tweeted a clip of another speech where he compared Jews to termites. He captioned that video: โIโm not an anti-Semite. Iโm anti-Termite.โ
