After calls for Twitch to address antisemitism on the platform, the site’s hateful conduct policy now includes “Zionist” as a potential slur. Twitch specifies this is conditional: you’re allowed to discuss the political movement of that name, but not “attack or demean another individual or group of people on the basis of their background or religious belief.”
I know there’s a lot of Christians involved but how do we know it’s the majority? Young Israelis are raised largely around Zionist propaganda after all.
There’s about 100 million evangelical christians in the US, and a LifeWay poll in 2017 showed that about 80% essentially considered themselves zionists. That’s 80 million. There’s 15.8 million jews worldwide. So the non-Jewish zionists outweigh Jewish zionists by a fair margin. Heck, they outweigh the zionist and the non-zionist jews taken together by a beefy margin, even.
A different definition of the term isn’t a different worldview.
Also, not immediately spinning every exchange into a full debate isn’t a critical character flaw. Unlike being an insufferable ass about your dissatisfaction with that fact.
Though I’d take look at that poll about 80% of Christians being “essentially” Zionists if you’d link to it.
Further to this, the majority of zionists are christians.

That’s an insane number. Must be a very broad definition of Zionist.
Could you at least try to engage in this discussion? Or maybe come up with any evidence supporting your world view?

For every 1 Jewish Zionist, there are 30 Christian Zionists
us braindead fundies are numbered in dozens of millions and they largely support Zionism.
in rural US, radio glorifying genocide… it is very disturbing.
