    Calling zionism what it is shouldn’t be discouraged with dog whistles masquerading as conduct policies.

    At the same time I’d like to remind folks that not all Jewish people subscribe to Zionism.

    There are a couple Jewish lead organizations that fight for the freedom of Palestine and have been very critical of Israel for many years.

    Jewish Voices for Freedom is one group. I wonder how they’d feel about Twitches new policy. I’m genuinely curious what their opinion would be.

    It’s great how people are gathering and having discussions under heavily censored platforms owned by billionaries, just amazing.

      And on top of that, pretty much all the platforms, even all the way down to this one, are censored in at least one increasingly-relevant way.

      It’s their goal. They want to conflate jewishness and israel because they need the world to be antisemitic.

      Otherwise people would just leave.

      All tech companies eventually enshitify and we would never be able to remember all of them if they all became slurs. Lol

      I’m still not sure what it means, judging by the comments here it (murderer / terrorist etc) it does seem to be used as a slur. So yeah, using the definition instead would be useful.

          They’re saying that in the same way terrorist is not always a slur but is used as a slur sometimes, Zionist can be used as a slur. 8 think it’s a fair take. It’s odd to specifically list Zionist as a contextual slur when you can just say no slurs.

          I don’t know if I fully agree but that’s their argument as I understand it.

            If you refer to the Muslim man in the bomb vest as a terrorist its fine, if you refer to all muslim men as terrorists its a slur.

            Refering to Israeli generals and politicians as Zionists is fine, If you refer to all Jewish people as Zionists…

          I just told you I I’m not sure of the definition, so asking me what I think it means is pointless. Though I’m pretty sure it’s not a group you can join like ISIS, right?

    Twitch has become garbage anyway. I’m more on Kick for streams nowadays.

    Anyway wasn’t “Zionist” suppose to be a good term for these murderers? Whether they make it a banable word, screw them. Those who defend Israel, their genocidal actions and claim that the land “belongs to them, the colonizers” are Zionists.
