ISRAEL (VINnews) — Renowned Charedi podcaster Chanale Fellig (aka ChanaleMusic), host of the “Weekly Squeeze” Podcast, was suspended from Twitter for a week, for stating what appears to be factual.

Chanale tweeted: “Not every Muslim is a Jihadi terrorist but every Jihadi terrorist is a Muslim.”
The tweet was flagged for violating the social media platforms rules of “hateful conduct”.
Fellig was replying to Islamic journalist Muhammad Shehada on Jun 5. Although it is not clear which tweet she was responding to, on that day Shehada tweeted about the Egyptian soldier who brutally murdered three Israeli soldiers (HY’D).
In response to a J-Post headline which stated the obvious–that the terrorist was found with a Koran, “a sign of extremism”, Shehada tweeted: “Makes the blood boil how this garbage gets published so easily in #Israeli media where a Koran is called a sign of “extremism”!”
He continued, “Imagine someone making a similar statement about the Torah or the Bible? SHAME! No! Virtually every Egyptian Muslim soldier carries a Quran in his pocket. Egypt is very culturally religious, though not conservative. Anyone who’s ever seen a Friday prayer in Egypt would see long lines of worshipers stretching out of the mosque…”
Prior to Elon Musk’s takeover, it was common for Twitter’s censorship board to suspend conservative accounts and suppress free speech. However Musk has transformed it into a free speech platform, and one wonders if he will get involved in this instance.
Chanale calls herself the “queen of Jewish Twitter”. Her bio on her podcast site reads: When Chanale is not making music and busy being a supermom of her Israeli kids she is diving deep into Jewish culture. If it’s happening in the Jewish world you’re gonna hear about it here first. Heavy on humor, light on sarcasm, always interesting…
“Jihadi” by definition means Muslim.
In the context of Liam’s comparison, it’s the equivalent of saying “All Hasidic slumlords are Jewish”
Can someone point to a single jihadi that is NOT Muslim?
Free speech only goes in one direction
He’s only reporting the truth!
Did u ever hear of a Johari terrorist who wasn’t Muslim?
Just the facts

What’s the issue? It’s the truth!
Cancel the truth how dare she state facts!!!?
Never tell the truth. It is politically INcorrect.
The word jihad or jihadi should not be on the internet it promotes murder!
The question isn’t whether or not it is true: The question is what was the purpose of stating it. Sine it is true by definition (jihadis are Muslim) then there is no point in telling us something we already know (the Gemara asks this question quite often). This leaves the reader to wonder what point was being made and to that question the answer would seem to be to stir up negative feelings towards Muslims and Islam. Perhaps that is why the comment was flagged?
Imagine someone tweeting:
“Not every Jew is a slumlord, but most slumlords are Jewish.”
We’d be up in arms. It’s irrelevant if it’s “factually correct” or not; it paints a picture that most (fill in the blank) are (fill in the blank).
