Ethan and Hila Klein are filthy Zionists.

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.

Next, apartheid will be anti-Semitic.

Friendly reminder that selfhosted streaming exists (Owncast) or online alternatives like PeerTube.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

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.

I'm willing to get this will increase the amount of actual ethnic slurs.

Zionists really captured that platform.

Can we make Twitch a slur for terrible tech companies.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 hours ago

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

OK, so people can use the definition instead. In fact it might be more useful.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Terrorists?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 hours ago

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.

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.
