        A Jewish person isn’t necessarily a zionist. You shouldn’t hate someone simply for being religious (although it’s often a red flag imo). The point is that people of many religions and even atheists can be zionists. The problem is zionism, not judaism per se. At least no more so than other religions. I think if you’d said “owned by a zionist” instead of “owned by a Jew” then it’d have been fine tbh.

          hate?

          I made a factual statement about the situation. Meta is heavily involved in supporting Israel and protecting it from bad publicity with on going genocide. Zuck never admitted to being a zionist, but meta’s policies and conduct speaks for itself. Same with comcast ceo, but his media rags sure do shill Israeli talking points. As opposed to people like leon black, andelson or wexler among who went on record to admit to being zionists.

          This is censorship.

          Calling out people of any other ethnicity/religion does not get this treatment.

          They are free to ban me, I am just documenting it. This is the red line for tankie instance lol

            Listen, I totally agree with your general sentiment about Meta. But being ok with using “Jew” as a pejorative isn’t where our instance (and obviously ML too) wants to go. That was the obvious implication, and that is antisemitism. Tbh I removed a similar comment of yours recently for the exact same reason just a few days ago. Like I’m hugely angry and frustrated at Israel and its enablers too. But don’t stoop to using Nazi-style rhetoric against Jews.

              But don’t stoop to using Nazi-style rhetoric against Jews.

              Again, this was not what happened in either of these comments. These comments were targeted at specific people and their well documented conduct that warrants a discussion. Both are public figures.

              You are free to censor my speech on your server but that the comment you removed about comcast ceo was in response to:

              “Don’t question your christian nazi billionaire overlords, or it’s your job and career! Now get out there and pretend we still have freedom of the press!” - the same nazi billionaires saying the same shit to their employees.

              “And stop drawing pictures of guillotines in the break room!”

              The censorship is uneven. Presumably, this comment would be also removed if the christian billionaire was replaced with jewish billionaires.

              If this the state where we are at, that’s what it is. Like I said, I am just documenting it. People can make up their own minds. But in my opinion, this is how we ended up enabling Israel to do its genocide.
