Then cops can charge him with harassing those people. They have zero right to charge him with harassing themselves.

Getting the police involved because someone is annoying on twitter just seems like a bad precedent.

Like if his behaviour actually does constitute harrassment, that's a concern, but as far as I can see it seems like he's just loud and opinionated. If you don't like it, use the block button.

Regardless (if you read the story) it would be realized that SHE never blocked him on 𝕏, which is the 1st response any reasonable person would do. So, IMHO it was a setup by a litigious zealot, who is Zionist. Zionism isn't pretty.

I don't know why people downvoted this, but yes, it's clear that she never blocked him, which would be the reasonable thing to do. Your interpretation seems totally reasonable to me.
