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 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.
