Jackson Hinkle Twitter False Information
Jackson Hinkle is a 22 year old antisemite conservative Marxist-Leninist ideolog who has said in his own words “I do everything for the clout, you will never see me do something not for the clout“. Since the war began his follower count on Twitter rose from 100,000 to 2,000,000. He is posting anti-Israel false information to only line his pockets and to increase his followers number with throngs of pro-Hamas antisemites. He is helping Hamas by pushing their “genocide” narrative which is part of a propaganda machine with one goal, which is to pressure Israel into a cease fire, get more aid for Gaza (Hamas) from the world, and build their arsenals back up in order to continue to kill more Israelis. This is a never ending loop of terrorism where the world continues to give money to Gaza that is used by Hamas for terrorism, to attack Israel, and does not help the people of Gaza.

Since the Israel-Hams war began Hinkle has been pushing false information on the Israel-Hamas war. In a rollingstone.com article named “Verified Hate Speech Accounts Are Pivoting to Palestine for Clout and Cash” the author states:
“But no online reactionary has leveraged Palestine for exposure on the scale that Jackson Hinkle has. The pro-Russia MAGA influencer once said on a Twitch stream, “I do everything for the clout, you will never see me do something not for the clout.” You can see the proof on his X account, which he claims was the “most viral worldwide” in October, surpassing Musk’s profile. After starting the year with around 100,000 followers, he’s closing in on 2 million, the bulk of these flocking to his page over the past few weeks. Like @CensoredMen, he offers a premium subscription for $3 a month, which he says will help “DEFEAT THE ZIONIST LIES.”

Here is an example, from today, of the false information being spread by this antisemite (for the clout and cash):
39 Murdered Palestinian Babies Lie
This is just one example of many. Someone made a graphic stating that 39 babies died in Al Shifa hospital from lack of oxygen. Hinkle, without validating this info, tweeted the graphic to his 2 million followers, stating that “Israel just MURDERED 39 NEWBORN INFANTS in incubators by cutting off their oxygen in Gaza’s Al Shifa hospital.” This is a lie and Twitter users fact checked it, leaving a “readers added content” note with a link to Reuters article stating that 1 baby had died that day.
Denying Jewish babies Were Slaughtered by Hamas
In the same Twitter post he says that “40 Jewish babies being killed by Hamas” on October 7th is a Jewish lie. Hamas killed babies from point blank on October 7th. They did it on purpose. This is a fact. There were no people with guns or rockets using them as human shields or hiding behind those babies trying to kill the Palestinian butchers on October 7th. They still killed them.
Hamas also kidnapped babies and toddlers on October 7th and no one knows, after one and a half months, where those babies and toddlers are or if they are even alive.
Not only do antisemites push false information, but they push opposite information from the actual facts. The facts are that more than 3 weeks ago Israel warned all the people of northern Gaza to leave the area, they also asked all the people at Al Shifa to leave, the Israeli forces are fighting a war against terrorists and do not want civilians to get hurt.
Hamas on the other hand wants civilians to be hurt as it helps their agenda. Palestinian terrorists use civilians as Human shields and even set up their shops, bases and launching pads from inside and under civilian areas such as schools, hospitals and more, this is a fact well documented and proved by the UN. Israel is now even trying to help evacuate all the babies from the Al Shifa hospital. Hamas is putting all efforts into making sure as many Palestinian civilians as possible will die so that they can continue to push their “genocide” narrative and pressure Israel into a cease fire, get more aid from the world, and build their arsenals back up in order to continue to kill more Israelis in a never ending loop of terrorism where the world continues to give money to Gaza that is used to attack Israel, and does not to help the people of Gaza.

False Information Being Spread by Anti Semites
The Israel-Hamas conflict is often misrepresented, especially by antisemitic groups, through various forms of misinformation. One common narrative is the delegitimization of Israel’s existence, where antisemitic sources deny Israel’s right to exist, painting it as an illegitimate or colonial state. Another frequent form of misinformation is the exaggeration or fabrication of Israeli military actions, where real incidents are blown out of proportion or entirely false events are created to vilify Israel.
Additionally, antisemitic groups propagate conspiracy theories, falsely suggesting Jewish control over global politics or media. Holocaust denial or minimization is also a tactic used by extreme elements to attack Jewish people and delegitimize Israel. These narratives often either downplay or justify the actions of Hamas, a group recognized as a terrorist organization, including their rocket attacks on civilians and use of human shields.
Misinformation also includes blaming Israel solely for Palestinian suffering, ignoring other complex factors like internal Palestinian politics or the actions of militant groups. Furthermore, this misinformation is often laced with classic antisemitic tropes, which are long-standing, baseless stereotypes used to fuel prejudice. These types of false narratives contribute to a distorted understanding of the conflict, underlining the importance of engaging critically with diverse and credible information sources for a more accurate perspective.
Who is Jackson Hinkle?
Jackson Hinkle, a 22-year-old political commentator from San Clemente, California, has carved a niche for himself in the realm of online political discourse. Born on June 7, 2001, Hinkle represents a new wave of young activists who are leveraging digital platforms to voice their perspectives on critical issues.
Hinkle’s journey into the world of politics began early. By the age of 19, he had already stepped into the political arena as a candidate for the San Clemente City Council, signaling his commitment to community involvement and local governance. His educational background and upbringing in San Clemente have significantly shaped his viewpoints and approach to political commentary.
His show, “The Dive with Jackson Hinkle,” caters to a substantial online audience, where he delves into topics like U.S. foreign policy and censorship. His style is marked by a blend of conservative and Marxist-Leninist ideologies, a combination that sets him apart in the field of political commentary.
Hinkle’s influence extended to his YouTube channel, which amassed around 300,000 subscribers before he faced a ban from the platform. The specific reasons for this ban remain unclear, but it underscores the challenges and controversies that often accompany digital activism and political discourse.
Dangers of Marxist-Leninist Ideology
Marxist-Leninist ideology, rooted in the teachings of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin, has been a transformative yet controversial force in global politics, especially during the 20th century. It’s an ideology that aims to establish a classless society by overthrowing capitalist systems, but its practical application has led to several significant problems.

A critical issue with this ideology is its inclination toward authoritarian governance. The centralization of power in a single party, deemed necessary to achieve a communist society, often morphs into dictatorial regimes. This power concentration usually results in the suppression of political opposition and the dismantling of democratic processes.
In terms of economics, Marxist-Leninist regimes typically adopt centralized planning, leading to inefficiencies. Without market mechanisms to guide prices and resource allocation, these economies often experience shortages, surpluses, and generally less efficient outcomes than their market-based counterparts.
These regimes have also been marked by significant human rights violations. The prioritization of collective goals over individual rights has justified the suppression of free speech, persecution of political rivals, and in some extreme cases, mass atrocities.
Cultural and social life under Marxist-Leninist rule often suffers as well. The ideology’s incompatibility with certain cultural, religious, and social norms leads to their suppression, eroding cultural diversity and religious freedoms.
Despite its goal of eliminating class distinctions, many Marxist-Leninist states have witnessed the rise of a new elite class, typically comprising party members and government officials. This often goes hand-in-hand with widespread corruption and significant disparities in wealth and power.
The state’s control over economic and cultural aspects also hampers innovation and creativity. The lack of market incentives and the suppression of free expression restrict technological and cultural progress.
Lastly, Marxist-Leninist states tend to face international isolation, partly due to their policies and partly from resistance by capitalist nations. This isolation impacts trade, technology exchange, and overall economic growth, further complicating their global standing.
Marxist-Leninist Ideology and Antisemitism
Marxist-Leninist ideology, emphasizing class struggle and the overthrow of capitalist systems, has a complex and evolving relationship with antisemitism. Karl Marx, of Jewish descent, critiqued Judaism in the context of critiquing all religions under capitalism in his work “On the Jewish Question.” This has led to varied interpretations, with some accusing Marx of antisemitism.
The Soviet Union, under Lenin and Stalin, initially opposed antisemitism, viewing it as a bourgeois tool. However, Stalin’s regime later adopted overtly antisemitic policies, including purges targeting Jews, particularly in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The international communist movement’s stance on Jews and antisemitism has been inconsistent, with some communist parties actively fighting against antisemitism and including Jewish leaders, while others have adopted antisemitic rhetoric, often intertwined with anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist sentiments.
Marxist-Leninist ideology traditionally opposes all forms of nationalism, including Jewish nationalism (Zionism). This has sometimes led to criticism or hostility towards Israel, but such criticism does not inherently equate to antisemitism, though it can be perceived or expressed as such.
In contemporary politics, the relationship between Marxist-Leninist groups and Jewish communities remains diverse. Some leftist groups are staunchly antisemitic and support Jewish causes, while others face criticism for perceived antisemitic attitudes, especially in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Overall, while focused on class and economic issues, Marxist-Leninist ideology’s relationship with antisemitism has been shaped by historical, political, and cultural factors, varying across different contexts and periods.
Dangers of Antisemitic False Information
The dangers of false information in the context of antisemitism are profound and far-reaching. Antisemitism, which involves hostile beliefs or actions against Jewish people based on stereotypes and prejudices, can be significantly exacerbated by the spread of false information. Here are key dangers associated with this:
- Incitement of Hatred and Violence: False information can fuel hate against Jewish people, leading to increased discrimination, harassment, and even violent attacks. Misinformation that portrays Jews in a negative, stereotypical light can incite individuals or groups to act on these prejudices.
- Undermining Social Cohesion: The spread of antisemitic falsehoods can erode trust and cohesion in diverse communities. It creates divisions and animosity not only against Jewish individuals but can also affect inter-community relationships more broadly.
- Distortion of Historical Facts: False information often involves the distortion or denial of historical events, like the Holocaust. This not only disrespects the memory of the victims but also dangerously rewrites historical truths, potentially leading to the repetition of past atrocities.
- Impact on Public Discourse: Antisemitic misinformation can poison public discourse, shifting attention away from legitimate issues and debates to unfounded conspiracy theories or hateful rhetoric. This can derail constructive dialogue on important social, political, and economic issues.
- Normalization of Prejudice: Persistent misinformation can lead to the normalization of antisemitic stereotypes and prejudices. This normalization makes it harder to combat antisemitism and can lead to a societal desensitization to the discrimination faced by Jewish people.
Overall, the spread of false information related to antisemitism poses a serious threat to individuals, communities, and societies by fostering hatred, distorting truth, and undermining the principles of tolerance and respect for diversity.
What Can You Do to Help?
Combating false information on platforms like Twitter is crucial for maintaining a healthy and informative online environment. Here are some steps individuals can take to help fight misinformation, along with guidance on how to add community notes, a feature Twitter has introduced to address this issue:
Fighting False Information on Twitter
- Critical Evaluation: Before sharing or responding to a tweet, critically evaluate the information. Check the source’s credibility, look for corroborating evidence, and be wary of sensational or emotionally charged content.
- Fact-Checking: Use reliable fact-checking websites to verify information. If a tweet seems suspicious or too good (or bad) to be true, it probably warrants further investigation.
- Report Misinformation: If you come across tweets that are clearly false or misleading, report them to Twitter. This helps the platform identify and take action against sources of misinformation.
- Educate and Inform: Politely correct misinformation by providing accurate information and sources in your replies. Engaging in a constructive manner can be more effective than confrontational responses.
- Promote Media Literacy: Encourage others to practice media literacy. Share tips and resources on how to identify credible sources and distinguish between factual information and opinion.
Adding Community Notes on Twitter
Twitter introduced a feature called “Community Notes” (formerly known as “Birdwatch”) that allows users to add context to tweets they believe are misleading. Here’s how to use it:
- Join the Program: To participate, you need to apply to join the Community Notes program. Once accepted, you’ll be able to contribute notes.
- Add a Note: If you see a tweet with potentially misleading information, you can write a note to provide additional context. This might include clarifying factual errors, providing source information, or explaining why the tweet may be misleading.
- Be Objective and Neutral: When writing notes, it’s important to be objective and neutral. The goal is to inform, not to push a particular agenda or opinion.
- Rate Other Notes: Community Notes allows users to rate the helpfulness of notes added by others. This peer review system helps ensure the quality and reliability of the information provided.
- Follow Guidelines: Adhere to Twitter’s guidelines for Community Notes. These guidelines are designed to ensure that notes are useful, respectful, and non-partisan.
By actively participating in these ways, users can play a significant role in reducing the spread of false information on Twitter and contribute to a more informed and responsible social media environment.
