I.e. nothing is masqueraded here as long as they keep to this. This seems to be a reasonable policy. I've seen a couple of instances of people being derogatorily called zionists just for supporting the people of current Israel not being pushed away out of their now decades-old homes, which is hard to still call Zionist if they don't support any further expansion and any offensive military action.
There's almost never anything gained to use "Zionist" on someone as if saying "asshole".
Zionist is a political term, it has nothing to do with one’s background or religious belief.
You're entirely right.
But see if the political view is only held by members or a certain religious group (even if not all members of said religion accept said political thought), it's easy to conflate it, so that you can ban anyone opposing said political thought based on "they're discriminating against me because of my religion".
Fuck twitch.
Except not all Zionists are Jews, many are Christian.
Well, I guess, but... you could argue that Zionists are mostly seen to be purely Jewish due to the nature of the movement.
