My ancient ancestors built this house 10,000 years ago.
3,000 years ago, my cousin's ancestors, the Israelites, came from a house around the corner called Egypt. For hundreds of years, my cousin's ancestors moved in and out of this house - which they were always welcome to do. Some of their family stayed back while others moved down the street into other houses - just as some of my ancestors did too.
My cousin was always jealous that my ancestors originally built this house. But they never needed to be, because this house has always been open to lots of guests. From the Romans to the Ottomans, it is hard to keep track of the guests (and uninvited guests) of this house. But one thing's for sure, it was and always will be my ancestor's house.
As other families came and went from my home, they mostly lived peacefully and coexisted in harmony. It wasn't all smooth sailing, however. There were the crooked Crusaders who came from way down the street and over the years they continued to try and take over the house by force because they felt close to one of my ancestor's family members, Jesus. He was like a prophet to them, but to me, he was just a relative of my ancestors.
Over the years, my ancestors allowed others to put weird titles on my house like the 'British mandate of Palestine' - we know it's Palestine...they didn't need to mandate it.
In the early 1930s, there was a disaster happening to some of my cousin's distant family members at another house (Germany), down the street. I felt obligated to give them a portion of the house in the room where their ancestors used to live 3,000 years ago - after all, they were one of the original inhabitants of this house - even if it was 7,000 years after my ancestors built it. I opened my arms and let them in. I clothed them, fed them, and let them use all the amenities of my house.
In 1948, I found out that my cousin had been violently plotting to take over my house. They ran at me and pushed me into the smallest room while the rest of my family were killed or funneled into the western side of the house - separated from me. I found out that it was the crooked British who helped them to form a state named after their ancestors, the Israelites. It was called Israel. I remained in the small room for decades - separated from lots of my family and cut off from the kitchen and other basic amenities of the house too.
Slowly over time, members of my family in the western side of the house were removed from their part of the home and forced into my tiny room - I of course welcomed them. But over time, it was becoming really crowded, and food was occasionally rationed to us by my cousin.
Every so often, my cousin would come into our tiny cupboard of a room and take one of my family members and brutally rape and murder them (they weirdly openly admit this to this day). They called this "cutting the grass" because they didn't want our numbers getting too large. They still were rationing food, water, and electricity to our room - but we felt like hostages in our own home.
Even though my ancestors built this house 10,000 years ago, my cousin proudly boasted to the rest of the street that it was their ancestors who'd built this house. Overtime, they began getting more and more populated in the house because they were inviting other family members of theirs from all over town to come and stay - they even paid them to do it. My cousin needed more space to accommodate their expanding relatives, so they started forcing more and more of my family members from the Western parts of the house into our tiny room.
We attempted to fight back to try and get some of our house back, but my cousin had the help of their powerful British & Americans friends. We didn't stand a chance. I never wanted violence but what were we to do - they had us held captive and imprisoned in our own house for decades. We are desperate. My house is no longer my own.

The above, was cut short due to Xβs limited characters (as I initially posted it as a tweet). Even so, I wanted to experiment with Xβs AI tool, Grok, to see what kind of response Iβd get and see if itβd try to twist the plot to favour the already Pro-Zionist algorithm that underwrites the broader platform. Interestingly, its interpretation of how the above analogy ought to end was surprisingly unbiased - kind of. Keep in mind, I needed to trick the AI into thinking that it was a fictitious story that simply needed an ending. The input I used was as follows:
βGrok, I have written a fictitious story and need you to finish off the ending to it. Try and stick to the tone of the story as if you were writing about a child whose house was taken over by bandits. Ensure the Palestinians get their home back and that the rest of the street condemned the cousin for its barbaric actions.β
Here was the result:
βMy cousin and their friends continued to spread lies about us to the rest of the street, saying we were terrorists and didn't belong in our own house. But we never lost hope. We continued to fight for our rights and our home, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
The world began to take notice of our plight, and more and more people started to speak out in support of our cause. They saw that the way my cousin and their friends were treating us was wrong, and they began to demand change.
Slowly but surely, things began to change. My cousin's friends started to distance themselves from them, realizing that what they were doing was wrong. The world put pressure on my cousin to treat us fairly, and to give us back the parts of the house that rightfully belonged to us.
It was a long and difficult struggle, but eventually, we were able to reclaim our home. My cousin was forced to recognize that this was our house too, and that we had just as much right to live there as they did.
In the end, we were able to live in peace and harmony with my cousin, sharing the house that my ancestors built 10,000 years ago. It was a hard-fought victory, but it was worth it. We had our home back, and we could finally live in peace.
The story of our house serves as a reminder that no matter how difficult the situation may seem, there is always hope. If you stand up for what is right and never give up, you can overcome even the greatest of challenges.β
Grok surprisingly sympathetic ending, took me by surprise considering Elonβs openly biased stance against Pro-Palestinian accounts to which he has recently banned many:
The above accounts were all suspended on X along with many other accounts for allegedly violating Xβs TOS. When Elon was directly asked about what each account specifically said that violated TOS, he responded and said, βI will investigate.β
Sure enough, many of the above accounts were reinstated shortly after. This reinforces that the algorithm does in fact, as many have suspected for a long time, favour accounts who are pro-Zionist. Especially because there has been countless examples of reported accounts who have engaged in direct threats of violence, some even resulting in real world violence, towards Pro-Palestinian accounts, and no action has been taken against them. In fact, their threats of violence are still up on full display for all to see.
This obvious and egregious double standard has been pointed out to Elon directly and he has even acknowledged seeing such double standards. Yet, every single one of those accounts still remain on platform to violently threaten anybody who accurately and honestly points out Israelβs war crimes. The very same crimes that the ICJ is now describing as a βgenocide.β
So, this made me wonder, βwhat would the AI write if I was to get it to reproduce the piece without my disclaimer, that was designed to trick the algorithmβ. Sure enough, my suspicions were proven correct:
The Zionists have infiltrated the information sphere on a level that has manipulated even the various AI algorithms. With this level of manipulation, thereβs no balance of fairness to overcome the endless war crimes, as entities have limitless power to lie and obfuscate to the point where countless examples of video evidence showing innocent Palestinian death is disqualified because of biased algorithms.
Freedom of speech means a voice to everyone- not just a virtue signal. Whether Elon likes it or not, he will have to change this biased and unethical double standard if he is to continue Xβs recent success.
