Twitter

On 12 May 2018, Neil Clark tweeted:

The wikipedia editor ‘Philip Cross’, who tells us he is not operating under an alias, has a great opportunity to earn himself an easy 1k simply by coming on @RT_sputnik with proof of ID to talk about his wiki editing. If nothing to hide, why not Philip?[5]

On 24 May 2018, Craig Murray tweeted:

Israeli newspaper Haaretz publishes lengthy defence of what they call "pro-Israel" Philip Cross. Strangely the author (Omer Benjakob) forgets to mention he is one of the inexplicable army of MSM hacks who were "Philip Cross" twitter followers.[6][7]
