Dear Twitter,

If I'm a member of a visibly protected minority group (Black Muslim) and I tweet "Death to Zionist Sodomites occupying Holy Jerusalem" would I be suspended? Asking for a friend.

Probably, as you are violating one of Twitter's partner organizations on the Trust and Safety Council, the ADL, whose mission is to eliminate anti-semitism.

You can view Twitter's safety partners here to learn which groups have advisory over what counts as 'hate speech' : https://about.twitter.com/en_us/safety/safety-partners.html

Note he didn’t say Jews but Zionists so it would be ok as long as there won’t be too many brackets in his tweet. /s

Does Twitter's policy identify protected minority groups? Asking for a friend.

Well, protected classes (T|t)rump company policies at least in the US where Twitter is based.
