Twitch says ‘Zionist’ can be a punishable slur.

After calls for Twitch to address antisemitism on the platform, the site’s hateful conduct policy now includes “Zionist” as a potential slur. Twitch specifies this is conditional: you’re allowed to discuss the political movement of that name, but not “attack or demean another individual or group of people on the basis of their background or religious belief.”

      It’s their goal. They want to conflate jewishness and israel because they need the world to be antisemitic.

      Otherwise people would just leave.
