The Israeli-Palestinian conflict reasons the ears of Grindr users. This application of private appointments by the LGBTQIA+ community has, for several days, forbidden to add the prayer of “non -Zionists” to its profile. Then an error message was shown.
Zionism (which is not a synonym for “Jew”) is considered a doctrine that makes the political promotion of the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine. By publicly showing their preference for not knowing people who defend Israel’s project, these users thought they were right.

Therefore, it was possible to add “there are no great, effeminate or Asian” or even “non -black”, “without Arabs” and “without Palestinians”, without giving rise to moderation by the platform.

During the prohibition of the term “non-Zionists”, the anti-de-favation power of the league, which fights anti-Semitism, had celebrated the news. She has not been expressed since this retropedia intervened on August 6, 2025.
Grindr is regularly indicated by its toxicity and the discomfort that the application can represent in the LGBTQIA+community. Several homophobic ambushes have also been made thanks to the application. It was also severely sanctioned after sharing confidential data from its advertisers.
