Oh man, so much to unpack here:
Zack, 35, says: “I got pretty disillusioned after I found myself consistently matching with anti-Zionists, even when I set it to ‘Jewish only’.” Zack put an Israeli flag emoji on his profile to rectify the situation. “It’s annoying because the more creative personalities I normally go for tend to be more anti-Israel.” Now he’s having fewer awkward conversations about the conflict, but the people he’s matching with are “less interesting”.

“Most of my generation say they want to Free Palestine but all I want is a good date who isn’t turned off because I’m Jewish,” she says.

It’s put me off opening the app.
Stop. Don't. Come back.
Say it with me: "Discriminating against the dehumanising beliefs you choose to hold is not the same as discriminating against a person for their skin colour."
