TBF, that's not a very good litmus test since anyone protesting the Palestinian genocide has been accused of the same, which we all know is utter bullshit.
Didn't you know, criticism of the Israeli government is tantamount to advocating for a genocide of Jewish people. It's binary, no way anyone can have an opinion that exists between a spectrum of the two. I mean someone criticizing a government and not it's people is just absurd.

Tribalism is fucking exhausting.
Fair, but it looks bad when they seem to be promoting a side and silencing another as a platform. They disabled email signups for accounts from Israel for over a year. Yes, this also affected Palestinians, but it was in reaction to Oct. 7, an event that Israeli users would certainly want to bring attention to for fostering sympathy. The stated reason was to prevent graphic material from being posted, but this hadn't been implemented for Ukraine or other wartorn areas.
They also endorse streamers that are very overtly pro-palestine. Some of them did an "Arab" to "Loves Sabra" tier list of other people on stage at Twitchcon. Twitch later deleted the vod/clips of it.
