    So does this mean if I have a Pro-Israel account and I say “Zionist Dove” or some shit I can be banned as well?

    Probably not.

    Is it allowed to say “Zionism, the ideology, should be punishable by death”

    When twitch bans you, they tell you what rule you broke, but they don’t tell you how it was broken or when. So in practice, you would never be able to say “I was banned for saying X which isn’t against the rules”.
