Meta has said it will expand its hate speech policy to cover more uses of the word “Zionist” when applied to Jews or Israelis on its platform.
We will now remove messages targeting ‘Zionists’ in several areas where our investigation has shown that the term tends to be used to refer to Jews and Israelis, with dehumanising comparisons, calls to harm, or denials of existence," the company said in a press release on Tuesday.
In December, Human Rights Watch said that Meta was guilty of “systemic censorship of Palestine content” during Israel’s war on Gaza.
most Zionists i’ve met are white Protestants, and most Jews i’ve met aren’t Zionists…
Most Zionist Jews I’ve met have become interested in their identity only because of Israel. Thoroughly assimilated before that. Not even one or two family Yiddish phrases for fitting situations (like az okh n vey or something).
Usually carriers of their home’s typical understanding of nationalism, only adapted for Israel. Cause at home it’s kinda frowned upon usually, while for Israel it’s something different, “allowed”, and they get to feel themselves better, of some different blood.
Zionists: It’s anti Semitic to say Zionists control social media.
Also Zionists: from now on you’re not allowed to criticize us on social media.
If you’ve ever had Passover with a Zionist and they bring up politics, you then realize how terrible people they are. Psychos some of them.
Passover is a weird thing. The “angel of death” slaughtered Egyptian children over night and for some reason needed marks to be placed over the doors of Jewish houses.
I have my doubts about whether it was really a supernatural event

don’t worry, it’s just a fairy tale
You know, now that we’re talking about it — I’ve always had my doubts that Noah collected two of every animal.
Well considering it never happened, I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
Good news: it didn’t happen at all!
Given how eagerly the Israelis have been murdering children I seriously doubt they needed the angel of death to do the dirty work.
Meanwhile, scamming on instagram is totally OK, because they pay for ad space!
Headline next week: Meta has said it will expand its hate speech policy to cover more uses of the word “Nazi” when applied to white males on its platform.
Probably fitting. Babbling leftists have thrown that word around so much its lost all meaning as well.
Don’t want to be called a nazi? Then don’t act and speak like one. Easy.
Sounds like a fuckin totalitarian ultimatum to me you fuckin nazi /s
Let’s not pretend that there isn’t an active effort to undermine the meaning of Nazi. I’ve seen many more claims of Nazi being overused than I have of anyone actually accusing someone of being a Nazi, in good faith or otherwise
And it’s always by people you’d generally call a Nazi.
Normal people aren’t bothered by it.
Conflating Jews and Zionists is obligatory for Mark “Donated $125.000 to Zaka” Zuckerberg.
Also denial of the existence of israel is now forbidden in Germany and on Meta platforms. Free speech btw.
Denial of Israel as in saying it doesn’t exist, or that it shouldn’t?

Maybe it’s just me, but calling for the eradication of a country is bad (controversial take, I know)
Calling for the eradication of a religious ethnostate that engages in genocide and colonialism is surprisingly a good thing.
Or do you think it was bad the world eradicated Nazi Germany?
That’s an excellent historical analogy — too bad you’ve misunderstood it. Germany was not dissolved after WW2, and its population was not thrown to the wolves. We only replaced their government. I agree that Likud needs to go (ideally to the Hague) but the people here wanting to wipe the country from the map are dangerous lunatics.
The countries of East and West Germany would like a word with you. The state of Nazi Germany very clearly ceased to exist.
The division was because the winners couldn’t coexist, not because Germany inherently needed to be split. The whole thing could have been treated like West Germany.
No, the division was because the winners couldn’t agree on who gets to build a new country where the old one was.
No one was going to leave the Nazi state in power.

Sounds to me like we’re in agreement here? In any case, the Allies didn’t give have Poland annex German territory or whatever. It continued to exist. Lots of people in this thread on the other hand want to delete Israel altogether and give it all to Palestine (which, incidentally, has never been a state at any point in history)
Zionists are not following Judaism. If you ask some orthodox jewish people living in occupied Palestine they’ll tell you they are in exile and are not allowed to have their country until the arrival of the Messiah, that they are simply living in that land that belongs to whoever it belonged to.
Zionists on the other hand are imperialist colonizers who took the land from its owners. So asking for the land to be returned to its rightful owners is legitimate, and this translates to the end of the existance of the state created on wrongfully seized land.
This should not be conflated with eradicating the people. The people could live there with the local Muslims, Christians and Jews as they did before. Although I know we don’t live in a fairy tale. If the occupying state is dismantled, how can one live peacefully with the people who tortured you, your family and society for decades and made your life hell…

So, per your words, jewish people are zionists who use religion as an excuse to occupy a land that is not theirs (and keep expanding with more settlers every chance they get). Also, isn’t israel supposed to be their god given country? Why would they leave?
No, what I said is that Zionism opposes Judaism. Zionists seemingly are not religious but twist what the religion says to enact their colonial goals.

So… hate speech toward a political ideology? Are they going to do the same for the other political ideologies?
It is specifically not that. It’s about people misusing the term “Zionists” to refer to Jews, which is also a thing that happens.
The complete statement is here if you want to see it. The posted article does a pretty poor job explaining it.
Okay… so people call white cis males, “fascists”
So we need to make it fair then and make all speech against political ideologies as, “hate speech”.
Any one person supporting the elimination of our right to free speech should be turned into its basic form of carbon without hesitation.
Sorry, but I believe that terror groups (such as the KKK, Proud Boys, GDL, ISIS/Daesh, NJP, Patriot Front) should not be allowed unlimited free reign to spread their message and recruit followers but that’s just me. I understand the argument for unlimited free speech on every platform, but I happen to disagree.
That’s a slippery slope. That would then include political ideologies like Marxism, Zionism, Communism, Socialism, and other social-political groups you forgot to include like BLM and Anti-Fa.
Yeah, a lot of anti-zionism was clearly just thinly vieled anti-semitism. This makes sense.
Thanks for conflating the two, person who defends israel in every post.
Most Zionists in the US are Christians.
