Twitter, which booted Trump for election tweets, has not banned pro-Hitler, pro-Holocaust verified accounts Becket Adams
Twitter has some explaining to do.
Verified Twitter accounts that have called this week for the genocide of the Israeli people have not been removed from the popular social media platform, which seems strange considering the tech giant permanently banned former President Donald Trump in January for less.
“The world today needs a Hitler,” freelance journalist Adeel Raja, whose byline appeared on CNN’s website as recently as Sept. 2020, said Sunday in a note to his more than 80,000 followers.
Raja’s remarks, which he eventually deleted, come amid the recent escalation in hostilities between Israel and Palestine, in which the former has lost an estimated 10 people, including two children, while the latter has lost as many as 192 people, including 58 children.
CNN has dropped Pakistan-based freelance writer Adeel Raja after he tweeted Sunday from his verified Twitter account that "the world today needs a Hitler."
Amid increasing tension in the Middle East, the United States-based news network CNN has fired a Pakistan-based freelance contributor who tweeted recently and in years past his praise of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

It happened again. On Sunday, now-former CNN freelance contributor out of Pakistan Adeel Raja tweeted out that “the world today needs a Hitler,” in response to the conflict between Israel and Hamas. It took CNN’s communications boss Matt Dornic several hours to respond to the growing outrage and criticism on social media. And the incident harkened back to 2019 when
a CNN photo editor was fired after praising how “4 jewish [sic] pigs” were killed in Jerusalem by Hamas.
