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.

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.
