Twitter users slam platform for not banning Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei

The call on Twitter by Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei for Palestinians to “stand strong” and “confront” Israel has sparked outrage about the platform, which has banned former President Trump but not the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader.

“Palestinians are awake and determined. They must continue this path. One can only talk with the language of power with these criminals,” Khamenei declared in a tweet on Tuesday amid the escalating hostilities between the two sides. “They must increase their strength, stand strong, confront the enemy, and force them to stop their crimes,” he added just before the Israeli military announced that air-raid sirens in Tel Aviv warned of an impending barrage of rockets from Hamas in Gaza.
