Iran's fake twitter feeds: "Kill Arab Scums..."


Link


I guess Ulrike Putz (when she wakes up after a wild night in Beirut's hot spot "Wallima") and her soul mate Andrew Sullivan, could turn a new leaf now ...James Downie in FP, here

"... The most pernicious fake Twitter user, though, has been Persian_Guy, who's not only provided fake news ( "Mussavi overheard: 'We don't need a black man's help, that's humiliating, at least not arab.'") and calls for violence (""non-Iranian Arabs waving Hamas/Hezbollah flags around the protests. Kill Arabs now, they are scums!"), but has even brought Twitter into the fake narrative. According to this user, "Twitter's staff are ecstatic by what's happening in Iran, "We're so glad there's chaos in Iran, finally Twitter is 'useful.'"" Somehow, I doubt that will endear him to his fellow Tweeters..."

"Brown Skinned" Arabs "shouting & hitting everybody" in Tehran...

Another Hezbollah/Hamas "twitter" circulating and posted by Andrew Sullivan:

"...the rumor about Hezbolah & Hamas helping Basij, until today I never believed it but I saw them today with my own eyes.

they wear black riot police outfit, brown skin and shouting to people in Arabic & hit everybody they see..."

BROWN SKIN? So Iranians think about Lebanese & Palestinians the way some Lebanese think about Syrians & other Arabs?

Haven't they spotted SSNP flag yet? Its time for Christopher Hitchens-- with his self-declared keen eye for fascism-- to fly into Tehran and identify "SSNP thugs."
