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.

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.

Maybe it's just me, but calling for the eradication of a country is bad (controversial take, I know)

Yes everyone should recognize Palestine.

I agree, but not a Palestine that occupies 100% of Israel.

Israel is not a country.

If israel wants to exist it can accept a two state solution with Palestine right now.

You do not get to decide whether a colony is a country. The natives do.

Saying israel is a country is similar to saying Crimea is actually Russian.

Is the US a country? Is Australia a country? I doubt the natives decided they were. Very weird way to define a country, regardless of your thoughts on Israel / Palestine
