“Zionism is an ideology. It’s not a race,” said Nadim Nashif, co-founder of the 7amleh
Read The Washington Post article about the possibility of Meta flagging more uses of the term ‘Zionist’ as antisemitic:
“When Israelis started sharing a video that wrongly stated that Shireen was killed by Palestinians, we reported it to FB & asked them to mark it as disinfo. They refused & told us it didn’t violate their community standards.”
