    A Jewish person isn’t necessarily a zionist. You shouldn’t hate someone simply for being religious (although it’s often a red flag imo). The point is that people of many religions and even atheists can be zionists. The problem is zionism, not judaism per se. At least no more so than other religions. I think if you’d said “owned by a zionist” instead of “owned by a Jew” then it’d have been fine tbh.

        Listen, I totally agree with your general sentiment about Meta. But being ok with using “Jew” as a pejorative isn’t where our instance (and obviously ML too) wants to go. That was the obvious implication, and that is antisemitism. Tbh I removed a similar comment of yours recently for the exact same reason just a few days ago. Like I’m hugely angry and frustrated at Israel and its enablers too. But don’t stoop to using Nazi-style rhetoric against Jews.
