And whoever is still on twitter now shares some responsibility for this. If those who could easily have done so would already have left in droves, that would have been a clear statement.

Not doing so now means giving permission to this.

Whoever is still clinging to #twitter is now in effect *voting* against transparency, and pro antisemitism.

Just leave #twitter, folks.
