The Israeli government and some of its supporters are asking Facebook to add “Zionist” as a protected category in its hate speech policy — that is, to treat "Zionist" as a proxy for "Jew" or "Jewish.”

Facebook, we need to talk — and you’re not letting us.

Cooperating with the Israeli government’s request would undermine efforts to dismantle real antisemitism, deprive Palestinians of a crucial venue for expressing their political viewpoints to the world, and help the Israeli government avoid accountability for its violations of Palestinian rights.

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.

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.

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.

Facebook's policy change, proposed to Facebook by the Israeli government and some of its supporters, would too easily mischaracterize critical conversations about Zionists — and by extension, Zionism — as inherently antisemitic.

This is a counterproductive way to address a real and important problem. Those who fuel antisemitism online will continue doing so with or without the word “Zionist.” In fact, many antisemites — especially among white supremacists and evangelical Christian Zionists — explicitly support Zionism while engaging in speech and actions that dehumanize Jewish people.

So, treating “Zionist” as a proxy for “Jew” would only undermine efforts to dismantle real antisemitism, deprive Palestinians and Jews of a crucial venue for expressing political viewpoints to the world, and help the Israeli government avoid accountability for its violations of Palestinian rights.
