The Israeli government is asking Facebook to add “Zionist” to its hate speech policy, i.e. to equate "Zionist" with "Jew/Jewish.”

@facebook, we need to talk — and you’re not letting us. So we’re launching a campaign to make sure you do.

@facebook, treating "Zionist" as a proxy for "Jew" would undermine efforts to dismantle real antisemitism, deprive Palestinians of a venue for expressing their viewpoints to the world, and help the Israeli government avoid accountability for violations of Palestinian rights.

2/9
@facebook, we need to talk about the best ways to dismantle antisemitism.

We need to talk as Jews, discussing and debating our many relationships to Zionist political ideology.

3/9
@facebook, we need to talk as Palestinians, with our friends and families and with rest of the world, sharing our experiences about daily life under military occupation and the violence of Zionist settlers.

4/9
@facebook, we need to talk about holding the Israeli government accountable, like all governments must be held accountable, by bringing to light human rights violations on the world’s biggest social media platform.

5/9
@facebook, don't cooperate with governments trying to shut down our conversations. Let us discuss Zionist ideology, Israeli government actions, and our daily lives — as part of your commitment to connection and safety for Palestinians and Jews wherever we are in the world.

This quote ran in Ha'aretz yesterday, along with other shocking details from IDF snipers trained to maim and murder Palestinians in Gaza who protest at the border. Ha'aretz removed this quote and anything related to children. But we saw it, we have receipts. The world should know
