Renowned Charedi podcaster Chanale Fellig (aka ChanaleMusic), host of the “Weekly Squeeze” Podcast, was suspended from Twitter for a week, for stating what appears to be factual.
Chanale tweeted: “Not every Muslim is a Jihadi terrorist but every Jihadi terrorist is a Muslim.”
The tweet was flagged for violating the social media platforms rules of “hateful conduct”.
Fellig was replying to Islamic journalist Muhammad Shehada on Jun 5. Although it is not clear which tweet she was responding to, on that day Shehada tweeted about the Egyptian soldier who brutally murdered three Israeli soldiers (HY’D).
In response to a J-Post headline which stated the obvious–that the terrorist was found with a Koran, “a sign of extremism”, Shehada tweeted: “Makes the blood boil how this garbage gets published so easily in #Israeli media where a Koran is called a sign of “extremism”!”
He continued, “Imagine someone making a similar statement about the Torah or the Bible? SHAME! No! Virtually every Egyptian Muslim soldier carries a Quran in his pocket. Egypt is very culturally religious, though not conservative. Anyone who’s ever seen a Friday prayer in Egypt would see long lines of worshipers stretching out of the mosque…”
Prior to Elon Musk’s takeover, it was common for Twitter’s censorship board to suspend conservative accounts and suppress free speech. However Musk has transformed it into a free speech platform, and one wonders if he will get involved in this instance.
Chanale calls herself the “queen of Jewish Twitter”. Her bio on her podcast site reads: When Chanale is not making music and busy being a supermom of her Israeli kids she is diving deep into Jewish culture. If it’s happening in the Jewish world you’re gonna hear about it here first. Heavy on humor, light on sarcasm, always interesting…
lol that is pretty racist. What if someone said “not every Hasidic Jew is a crooked NY landlord but every crooked Jewish NY landlord is Hasidic”
Why did you switch the placement of the Jew(ish) in the second half by crooked, as apposed to “is a Hasidic Jew?”
When your take something untrue and reframe it to make it sound like it makes sense, it’s hard to discern the falsity in the whole thing. Well done
Starting off the comment with B”H and an lol gives you a nice impression of being open minded and at the same time having the right values. Lol
Sums it up
These Muslims write the most anti Jewish and anti Israel statements and it’s acceptable but when a Jew states a fact that everyone knows is objective not subjective suddenly they are suspended?!!! It is clear double standard
And not surprising in the wake of the escalating antisemitism and attacks against Jews in Israel especially but also in other countries it’s happening unfortunately
Difference is that by definition what she said was true, i.e. a jihadi terrorist is by definition a Muslim, (hence the name jihadi terrorist) and your comparison is to a racist claim which isn’t factual by definition
Ask any Muslim what jihad means, it does not mean this (acc. to them)
What it actually is and what they’ll tell you is different. Want to know why? Lookup ‘Taqiya’.
Look up “taqiyya” and get back to us. It means they’re allowed to lie (for example, mischaracterize what “jihad” is) for the sake of their religion.
Yes, you can say that and that would not have led to anyone to be suspended from Twitter.
Actually not the same at all. Would be the same if it said “every Hasidic landlord is Jewish”
The question is, is the statement true? Not every Jew is Hasidic, but every Hasidic is Jewish.
J
That is very much not the same. Jihadi Terrorist is a Muslim organization.
Jihad is a muslim tenet. Thus what she said was entirely accurate. But just because someone is Jewish doesn’t make that person Hassidic.
is that your statement is factually wrong, while here is factually correct.
What Chanale tweeted is 100 % factual. However, your quote “but every crooked Jewish NY landlord is Hasidic”, is 100% false, and therefore would be considered hateful.
There are many honest landlords.
Although Jihad is straight up in their Koran!
First, that’s not true.
Second, even if it WERE true, you really think that compares terrorism and MURDER!?
that is NOT true there, are many crooked landlord that arent eve Jewish
Huh?!? What world-view has jihad besides for Islam?
All police/army responsible for the killing of innocent Palestinians are Jewish
Many Muslims see the acts of jihadi terrorists as Being un Muslim like
That’s why she didn’t say every Muslim is a jihadi terrorist
It is 100% factual, but it could still be hateful.
As they say, not everything true do you have to say…
What an embarrassment for Jews everywhere and what a horribly racist comment. I hope she’s banned from Twitter for longer than just a week and seeks out some education for herself
She’s got that, having posted something 100% factual (“jihad” is a Muslim concept). What you’re demanding is that she submit to brainwashing.
These people murder our brothers and sisters. Don’t be all soft, cowardly, and politically correct
Those comments will only offend muslims, not bring unity between people. It is not a nice thing to say and I understand why that is considered hateful speech.
a previous commenter claimed that there are “many” Muslims who consider terrorism “un-Muslim.” Well, you can’t have it both ways.
What Is ridiculous comparison ! What she wrote is factually true, but today truth has no relevance
I’m sure Candace Owen can get away with saying that.
Everything is racist and offensive nowadays…just stick to the truth and don’t be scared of others.
Dear ‘B”H,
Check out your logic.
It’s a shame when one is flagged for stating a simple truth: all Jihadis are muslim.
are all meshichists chabad chassidus? Cause a lot of the more extreme ones Im nnot even sure what they do is jewish, same for naturei karta … when someone says look at those neturei karta .. we disavow them, there are many muslims that think what jihadi extremists do is not mpart of muslim faith, just like as chasisdim we dont agree with neturei karta or some of the more extreme element of meshichists …
…what other religion has “jihad” as one of its core tenets?
Yes, all meshichistim are Chabad lubavitch. Because you don’t agree with sometimes point of view, it doesn’t mean there not Chabad. There are also ppl that might do some crazy things. They’re also Chabad if they choose, they’re just need a little help in their lives, regardless
Jihad is an islamic doctrine. So anyone who follows Jihad is following Islam. Now, there may be some muslims who don’t follow Jihad, but a better comparison than the ones you made may be secular Jews: the fact that some secular Jews don’t follow tenets of Judaism doesn’t make it less Jewish. Example: if a Jew doesn’t wear Tefillin, it doesn’t mean that Tefillin wearing isn’t a Jewish thing. In fact, if you see someone wearing Tefillin, he is Jewish (or deranged). So, too, with jihad: only a muslim will practice Jihad and if a non-muslim claims s/he is doing… Read more »
Yikes
It is disingenuous to reference the ban and the reason of “hateful conduct” without giving background to Twitter’s policy on “hateful conduct.” Until governments begin regulating the internet, it’s down to the social media platforms to self regulate. Based on Twitter’s policy, we need to understand if Chanale’s tweet can fall into the category of “hateful conduct.” Whether the policy is right or wrong, is another question, – those who dislike the policy are free to not use the platform. Hateful References: The statement links a protected category, in this case, religious affiliation (Muslims), to violent events and forms of… Read more »
So they care about not hurting anyone’s feelings? Because that’s not true.
They just given it with their own
And, she wrote a fact. No conspiracy, implying stuff, bla bla bla
I hope if a Muslim said something similar about Jews, twitter would flag that as hate as well. The comment was low key hateful, elven if it is fact.
Clearly, Twitter and truth are NOT synonymous.
all’s good. her account will probably be opened soon and she will have gained additional social media traction. win win
