"Zio" is an antisemitic slur coined by David Duke, former KKK Grand Wizard.
This term is creeping into left spaces focusing on justice for Palestine, so I beg you to reject this literally KKK terminology whenever and wherever you encounter it.

@CorvidCrone@kolektiva.social still can't forget the time I called this out in a group chat and the response that I received was, "I'm not interested in centering Jewish feelings in the context of the Palestinian genocide" and in retrospect, I should've responded something like, "I'm not asking you to center my feelings. I'm asking you to do the bare minimum to respect them"

@CorvidCrone@kolektiva.social this was showing up in a lot of moderation reports after October 7th. We’ve seen it pretty steadily since then. Not frequently, but enough. https://jewishjournal.com/commentary/columnist/300241/why-are-progressives-using-an-anti-semitic-slur-coined-by-the-kkk/
