      They’re saying that in the same way terrorist is not always a slur but is used as a slur sometimes, Zionist can be used as a slur. 8 think it’s a fair take. It’s odd to specifically list Zionist as a contextual slur when you can just say no slurs.

      I don’t know if I fully agree but that’s their argument as I understand it.

        If you refer to the Muslim man in the bomb vest as a terrorist its fine, if you refer to all muslim men as terrorists its a slur.

        Refering to Israeli generals and politicians as Zionists is fine, If you refer to all Jewish people as Zionists…

      I just told you I I’m not sure of the definition, so asking me what I think it means is pointless. Though I’m pretty sure it’s not a group you can join like ISIS, right?
