      The policy expands which posts targeting “Zionists” will be removed based on how the term is treated, compared to Meta’s previous hate speech policy that more narrowly banned the term when it was used as a stand-in proxy term for Jewish or Israeli people.

      Yep. They’re just going to flag every post with the word.

    The rhetoric surrounding the Palestine ethnic cleansing is crazy. You have to be so careful to use the right language, and not say “Jew” when you mean “Zionist”, or never to confuse either for “Israeli”.

    The Zionists use this linguistic minefield for their advantage. From 1947, the Zionist apologist has wielded antisemitism for a sword and the Shoah for a shield. Western guilt over the Shoah is the mouth from which all Israeli support flows. And if you feel bad about it; you’re probably not an antisemite.

    This policy wouldn’t be effective against real antisemites, but it’s not for them after all.
