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

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.” This 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 governemnt avoid accountability for its violations of Palestinian rights.

Facebook, we need to talk. Don't let the Israeli government use your hate speech policy to stifle conversations about its human rights violations.

Facebook should allow us to hold governments accountable — not shield them from accountability.

If Facebook restricts use of the word “Zionist,” how can Palestinians describe [their/our] daily lives under military occupation, or discuss [their/our] families’ history?

If Facebook restricts use of the word “Zionist,” how can Jewish people discuss and debate [their/our] many relationships to Zionist political ideology and its contested history?

Facebook, we need to talk. Many antisemites, especially among white supremacists and evangelical Christian Zionists, both support Zionism AND dehumanize Jews. Adding "Zionist" as a protected category in your hate speech policy won't stop their antisemitism, but it will shut down important conversations among Jews and Palestinians.
