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.

    Why would the Allies give German land to a Soviet puppet state of Poland?

    You know what they did? They gave it back to the people living there, so let’s give Israel back to the people who lived there, that is the majority the Palestinians.

    The Israelis can be like White South Africans, stay or fuck off, it’s not important.

      Holy fuck. I’m going to be charitable and assume you’re just unaware of history, and not a full-blown Nazi. You know Palestinians and Mizrahi Jews are the same people, right?

        The only full blown Nazi I’m potentially seeing around here is wanting the Nazi-wannabe state of Israel to not be destroyed.

        And no, Palestinians are not all Jews.

        The majority of Israelis are descended from Europeans or Americans, they are not the people living there before Israels colonisation.
