With the rise in antisemitism, we need to address terms and rhetoric that has plagued this platform for some time.

The conflation of zionism and antisemitism as hate speech alienates jews that are antizionists and not all zionists are jewish.

The recent hate campaign against twitch has used organizations who run hate compaigns against mainstream media to bully organizations like twitch into complying with their pro israel propaganda.

We would like to formally request that Twitch rescind the recent change to the content policy that Zionism is a bannable slur and that it's a pejorative rather than a political designation.

Zionism isn’t a religion, it’s a political movement. This wording equivocates zionism with judaism and with all jewish people - it’s actually anti semitic to say this group is a religion or a background

Zionists are a group of political extremists committing a genocide. It’s like saying someone being a republican is a protected class.

Stop censoring Pro-Palestinian voices!!!!!

Twitch should not allow the influence from organisations of a fascistic, genocidal state to press for censorship on its plattform.

There's significant evidence that this was a mass harassment campaign conducted by outsider parties. https://x.com/HasanabiProd/status/1857531892947620084

I suggest Twitch get in touch with Discord and actually help enforce and put a stop to these mass harassment campaigns.

Twitch is just making it easier to silence people standing up against genocide. If you ever wondered what you would do during the Holocaust, you're doing it now - prioritizing the comfort of the oppressors over advocacy for the oppressed.

Whitewashing history is never good..

have a spine twitch, protect your middle eastern streamers and viewers instead of allowing hateful ideology and rhetoric to thrive on your platform.

You are allowing someone (destiny) who was banned on your platform and spends his entire life trying to deplatform Hasan to dictate to you how you should run your platform. Absurdity.

Twitch shouldn't be listening to communities that don't stream there and actively want to destroy the entire website. Kick and Youtube streamers have been maliciously targeting Twitch for years now, it's time you fight back instead of bowing down.

This is the only streaming website that actually has and enforces any rules, stop listening to cynical trolls.

this new policy is anti-semitic

One of the worst precedents an organization can set is caving to the disingenuous efforts of hateful actors from outside the organization whose efforts are solely to brigade and harass genuine members of your platform. By recognizing the attempts to redefine the word Zionist as a catch all for antisemitism, you are setting the stage for these actors to create material harm to this platform and it’s users. Not to mention that history will remember those who stood up in defense of the disenfranchised and will condemn those who caved to the mob. Please keep this platform a place for genuine discussion of hard topics and a place to freely express truth without fear of repercussions.

As an anti-zionist Jew, this is just not an accurate representation of what the term Zionist means.

Zionism is a colonialist project to occupy Palestinian land for the purpose of creating a state for Jewish people.

The project does not represent my interests in the slightest, and presently the state of Israel is committing genocide on the Palestinian people.

Calling out Zionism for what it is and holding the practice accountable for its actions is not in any way the same as this new definition proports the use of the term to imply.

Speaking out against genocide is simply speaking out for human rights. Changing the definition of what Zionism is serves only to stifle this critical type of speech, and adopting this definition as a platform at the present moment is complicity with genocide. There will be a mass exodus of users and streamers if this new definition is adopted.

This policy itself is antisemitic it removes the differentiation between people of the Jewish faith and the political movement, zionism, aimed at creating a greater israel by violently displacing indigenous people from the nations of Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt

Twitch, we need to stop allowing Islamophobic influencers abusing antisemitism as a campaign to troll and destroy livelihoods of streamers. You need to sue the ADL for cozying up with Right Wing Extremism with goals to be anti-Arab and anti-Muslim.

Is Twitch trying to copy Twitter and speedrun its downfall?

C’mon Twitch. We’re asking the bare minimum of you. And we are many; you are few. Do better.
