Thanks for your definition of Jew-washing! Editors reviewed your entry and have decided to not publish it.

Censorship confirmed. I thought your submission was rejected because the definition sounded corporatey and the example was out of context. To test this, I submitted a definition of the slang term Asajew, which I was surprised to see missing from the Urban Dictionary given its popularity. with a full list of related tags and several examples of it being used in context including one on a Dutch blog. They rejected it despite the term being widespread enough to have jumped languages and having a better writeup than most entries on UD.
It's not clear to me whether They is the user community or a specific set of editors. The time between submission and rejection was about two hours and fifteen minutes, so it's not known how many editors had a chance to look at it but it was probably not a large number.
American born, my wife and I moved to Israel in 1970. We have lived at Shiloh together with our family since 1981. I was in the Betar youth movement in the US and UK. I have worked as a political aide to Members of Knesset and a Minister during 1981-1994, lectured at the Academy for National Studies 1977-1994, was director of Israel's Media Watch 1995-2000 and currently, I work at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem. I was a guest media columnist on media affairs for The Jerusalem Post, op-ed contributor to various journals and for six years had a weekly media show on Arutz 7 radio. I serve as an unofficial spokesperson for the Jewish Communities in Judea & Samaria.

Good for you. Jew washing is every bit as apt as "self-hating Jews," "company-Jews," "Jewish Uncle Toms," and last, but not least "dupes."
it'll make it. we just have to keep using where appropriate, which is, alas, all too common.
