A few weeks ago, a senior philosopher elsewhere emailed me:

I thought you might be darkly amused by the fact that Christa Peterson is every bit as vocal, and one-sided, on Twitter about Israel/Gaza as about trans issues. That’s not to express any overall take on the Gaza war – I think it’s hideous, as any reasonable person does….[b]ut that’s a long way from minimizing the original atrocities, or spinning Hamas as noble freedom fighters, or denying clear facts on the ground [as Peterson has been doing on Twitter].

I’m not suggesting you post about this…But I found it interesting in a perverse way because Christa is good at generating a blizzard of research ‘facts’ on any given issue, and it can be hard work to unravel them. I know the Israel/Palestine issue quite a lot better than the trans-rights issue: seeing the tendentiousness in the arguments on the former is at least very suggestive as to the latter.

I had, indeed, planned to ignore this, but then, more recently, a philosophically-minded economist, Itai Sher, whom I follow on Twitter, began highlighting increasingly bizarre posts from Peterson:

Or, more recently:

A Ukrainian journalist with a quarter-million followers, who covers wars and war crimes, even went after her, and it's rather amusing, even if one feels somewhat sorry for Ms. Peterson; here's an excerpt:

I suspect it's giving her too much credit to think she's a Marxist.  What an unfortunate, and unforced, case of self-destruction via Twitter.
