Twitch declares that “Zionist” is a slur, will issue bans for criticizing “individuals” based on their “religious beliefs or background” (genocide, settler colonialism)
Implications for leftist streamers like HasanAbi
potentially establishing precedents for mass removal and censorship of anti-genocide organizing and education on other major social media platforms

I’ve seen so many people who self-identify as a Zionist (by just openly saying “I’m a Zionist”) insist that Zionist is a slur. But then why are you proudly using it to describe yourself!?
Reclamation!
Only they can call each other a Zionist.
It’s THEIR word!
