Homicidal Impulse of the Pro-Israel Social Network Hasbarocracy

brian of london death threat

Pro-Israel Twitter death threat

Brian of London, who’s a good pal of David Lange (aka Aussie Dave of Israellycool) has offered the world a classic example of the pro-Israel hasbarocracy’s homicidal impulse in dealing with dissent and opposing views.  I’m offering here a screenshot of a running Twitter thread between Brian and one of his other pro-Israel chums in which the former asks (evidently he’s a Jewish am haaretz who knows little or nothing about Jewish ritual and practice) whether it’s possible to excommunicate me because I’m likely to “get one of us [Jews] killed.”  The other twerp replies “Yes.”  To which Brian asks: “Does it involve firearms?”  In order to protect himself from a police investigation he adds the wholly unconvincing #justjoking.

Pardon me, but I don’t think you can joke about killing another human being.  Though I suppose if you’re these lugs you can joke about killing someone who is less than human.  Mazel tov hasbarists, you’ve offered yet another reason not only you but the intolerant, hateful views you represent stand wholly discredited.

We’ll see whether Twitter is as amused by him as he is by himself.

    MY COMMENT: Perhaps “Brian of London” is a skinhead member of the English Defence League.

      SEE: This Is England, 2006, NR, 102 minutes
      Set in 1983, this semiautobiographical drama from writer-director Shane Meadows follows a lonely 11-year-old boy named Shaun as he grieves over the recent death of his father, who was killed fighting in the Falklands War. When he falls in with a gang of young skinheads, Shaun’s pain and anger make him susceptible to carrying out the group’s hateful agenda, exposing a dark side of modern Britain not often seen in the movies.

    These people are usually related to the cottage industry of “terrorism experts” since 9/11, and the various trolls and tech experts which accompany them. Some examples :
    @intelwire
    @ZachofArabia
    @webradius
    @switch_d
    @providesecurity
    @Render64
    @El_Grillo1
    @will_mccants
    @DaveedGR

    Of course there are many others, and it’s not some tight-nit group or conspiracy – some are actual scholars, and people like Will McCants, J.M. Berger and Daveed Gartenstein-Ross for example, do actually know something about their subject. The fact is, in order to be taken seriously by the American military-intelligence-thinktank-defense establishment mainstream thinking, you just have to be somewhat of a center-right Zionist, it’s just part of the culture.

    A particularly egregious offender with pretty vulgar hasbara :
    @ThisIsPalestine

    I should also note that @webradius (Aaron Weisburd) runs the Internet Haganah forum : http://forum.internet-haganah.com/

    Cheers

    you say “Pardon me, but I don’t think you can joke about killing another human being”.
    To which I can only direct you to this classic (please don’t construe this as a threat)
