  "account": "US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. removed a controversial post on X/Twitter on Wednesday night, rejecting claims that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and asserting the accusations were part of a Muslim Brotherhood propaganda effort backed by Qatar. The now-deleted post garnered around 336,000 views before being taken down. Neither Kennedy nor his department has offered an explanation for the deletion. The Muslim Brotherhood's Qatar-funded global campaign is described by Kennedy as \"laughable\" and an effective tool for antisemitism. He argued that antisemitism is used by totalitarian systems, including Islamism, to rally support, form alliances, and gain power. Kennedy also claimed that most westerners echoing the Israel-genocide charge are unwitting participants in a psyops campaign that targets Jews, Christians, Israel, and the USA. He thanked an X user for their \"steadfast courage\" in fact-checking the claims. The post was removed shortly after publication, but Kennedy has not publicly retracted his statements or provided an explanation for the deletion. Speculation suggests a complaint from Qatar to its allies in the White House may have led to the removal, though no official response has been made.",
