Meta has said it will expand its hate speech policy to cover more uses of the word “Zionist” when applied to Jews or Israelis on its platform.

We will now remove messages targeting ‘Zionists’ in several areas where our investigation has shown that the term tends to be used to refer to Jews and Israelis, with dehumanising comparisons, calls to harm, or denials of existence," the company said in a press release on Tuesday.

In December, Human Rights Watch said that Meta was guilty of “systemic censorship of Palestine content” during Israel’s war on Gaza.

    Passover is a weird thing. The “angel of death” slaughtered Egyptian children over night and for some reason needed marks to be placed over the doors of Jewish houses.

      You know, now that we’re talking about it — I’ve always had my doubts that Noah collected two of every animal.

      Well considering it never happened, I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

      Given how eagerly the Israelis have been murdering children I seriously doubt they needed the angel of death to do the dirty work.
