Decrying the tenets of Zionism and denouncing the actions of Zionists is not an attack against Jewish people or Judaism. Zionism is not Judaism, Zionist does not mean Jewish. There are far more non-Jewish Zionists, by several orders of magnitude, than Jewish Zionists.
The conflation of the actions of the Israeli state (including genocide of the Palestinian people, razing of Gaza, violent settlement of the West Bank, unprovoked attacks against sovereign states such as Lebanon and Iran) with Judiasm is anti-Semitic. The conflation of the actions of the Israeli state with all Jewish persons is anti-Semitic.
Calling people out for espousing Zionist propaganda, arguing against Zionist talking points, and denouncing the Israeli government for Zionist extremism is NOT anti-Semitic. It is the just and right thing to do, to stand against apartheid and genocide, even if the propagator of said apartheid and genocide is the Jewish ethno-state of Israel.
The capitulation of Twitch to the demands of groups like the ADL and AIPAC, which are functionally arms of the Israeli state, is a surrender to the weaponization of anti-Semitic propaganda equating Zionism to Judaism. It is absolutely unacceptable and should be reversed immediately.
