I posted a comment on a post about Paramount blacklisting people for being anti-Semitic.

The comment said “Jews and conservatives own Hollywood”

The post was removed for Bigoted rule.

How??? Just silencing anything related to Israel?

Parotting a racist trope is not a criticism of Israel and it in fact bigoted and anti-semitic.

Criticising the domestic and foreign policy if Israel is fine, that's not what you did.

  • Because you repeated an old bigoted trope

    Rather than criticising Israel, you commented on Jews at large

    There are millions of Jews living all over the world who aren't Israeli nor Zionist

    I loathe Israel as a state and despise Zionists, but that's very different from loathing "the Jews"

    I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, but you aren't paining a great picture

    You confuse antizionism with antisemitism.

    Your comment was antisemitic.

    Here is a handy hint:

    Antizionism means "against Zion", meaning you are against the state Israel.

    Antisemitism means that you are against Jews.

  • That's a faux pas. "Jews" (whatever that word means at this point) should never be mentioned just like that (even though you could say Christians/Muslims own Hollywood). Remember that the West has used Hitler's atrocities (who was nothing but a true son of the West) to justify some of their post-Hitler ones in the Middle East, and for that "Jews" must be perennial victims.
