Twitter must ban former NFL player Larry Johnson for spreading lies about a “Jewish cabal” that carries out perverse crimes like “ritualistic child torture” and “human sacrifice/murder.”
Despite widespread calls demanding Twitter take action against anti-Semitic incitement, the social media giant lets hate-mongers spread the most vile conspiracies and grotesque lies.
This week, former NFL player Larry Johnson, who posts outright Jew hatred, tweeted about a secret “Jewish cabal” that carries out perverse crimes like “Ritualistic Child Torture” and “Human Sacrifice/Murder.”
As of Friday, this shameless Jew-hater continues to spew vulgar anti-Semitic rhetoric.

While there were many responses condemning the anti-Semitic tweet, Twitter has yet to to demand its removal or block Johnson’s account.
“Here a high-profile former athlete tells his 146k followers via a verified account that ‘the Jewish cabal’ performs well at ‘ritualistic child torture.’ It’s clear @jack [Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey] has no policy to root out antisemitism on @Twitter, only to respond with token gestures when pressure builds,” tweeted Algemeiner editor-in-chief and CEO Dovid Efune.
Anti-Semitism is spiking, with violent assailants attacking Jews on a weekly basis.
The incitement MUST stop and Twitter MUST take action to stop anti-Semites like Larry Johnson from spreading lies that fuel hatred of Jews.
