The UN has been taken over by anti-Israel forces... It is a cesspool of antisemitism and anti-Americanism.

"The UN has been taken over by anti-Israel forces... It is a cesspool of antisemitism."

Elon Musk bought Twitter specifically to spread misinformation, propaganda and lies.

If anything, it's working as intended.
