Update from the Policy Forum on our approach to โ€˜Zionistโ€™ as a proxy for hate speech

 

UPDATED

JUL 9, 2024

We have revisited the issue of speech using the term "Zionists" at various times in recent years, and in March 2024 we examined it through our Policy Forum.

After hearing input and looking at research from different perspectives, we will now remove speech targeting โ€œZionistsโ€ in several areas where our process showed that the speech tends to be used to refer to Jews and Israelis with dehumanizing comparisons, calls for harm, or denials of existence.

One question that emerged during our Policy Forum is how to treat comparisons between proxy terms for nationality (including Zionists) and criminals (e.g., โ€œZionists are war criminals.โ€). As such, we referred a bundle of cases to our independent Oversight Board that tee up the issue of criminal comparisons. We look forward to any guidance the Board may provide.
