... there's an "independent Lebanese geopolitical commentator" with a huge Western following. She has zero written words outside Twitter. Instead you'll find her selfies with Canadian suburbia as background on instagram and flickr. She blocked half of Lebanon and Syria ...
... 225.8K Followers - but the account blocked this my insignificantly small new account (I had a more political one before) almost the moment I opened it. This kind of obsessive avoidance of any comment that might disturb her ME expert status with Westerners is fascinating ...
... the reason why I tweet this, is because a leftist account I follow referred to a tweet just now - but when I clicked on it, I realised it was her ... an anti-Obama tweet of 4 hours ago is already on 1.1K likes ... her MAGA amplification is huge ...
... some lame emotional pro-Palestine tweet of April 25 is now on 3K likes ... but I remember when TRUMP made his Jerusalem-status decision - she was silent ...
... in fact me mentioning her Jerusalem-status silence on my old account got me into trouble with her. I was attacked by her fans/bots and Western "independent journalists/commentators" to whom she seems able to gift an insane numbers of likes by just a re-tweet by her ...
... in DMs and open Twitter - I found that I wasn't the only one blocked by her ... many Lebanese and Syrian commentators either local or expat were blocked ... and sometimes even people who shared some if not all of her views ...
... there was a story on her on the BBC website and the writer mentions what I had pointed out earlier in a tweet: her selfies show limited backgrounds but it's not Lebanon. Later an angry supporter of her yelled at me in a tweet that he knows her and that she's in Canada ...
... when I made the comment that she's not in Lebanon (which her bio claimed at the time) I used a Twitter-published photo of her to explain. I was forced by Twitter to delete. Was I mass-reported? It felt creepy that someone with so much Twitter-power cares what I write ...
... the BBC article uses a similar photo to the one I used and states clearly that she published the photo on Twitter. I don't agree with the general bent of the BBC article. It uses "misinformation" far to liberally when it comes to people questioning the Syria narrative ...
... in between a lame celebratory tweet for Syrian independence day at 1.5K likes, you'll find tweets amplifying Ron Paul at 1.9K likes, explaining how rich Bill Gates is at 628K likes, amplifying a Russian channel at 2.2K likes or making Biden look bad at 5.6K likes ...
... where do such insane numbers of likes come from? Are Westerners really so interested in Syria's independence day? Actual embassies of large countries don't get so many likes for their independence day ...
... in fact - I might delete this thread fairly soon ... I really have no interest in being troll attacked again for tweets that nobody reads anyway ... but just now I felt like ranting about it ... and now I feel better ... https://twitter.com/domihim/status/1254576450398797824
