There wasn’t really a struggle session over it, just a “yeah let’s not give away easy ammunition to call us antisemites” in the immediate aftermath of Oct 7th. Nobody really thought it was antisemitism to burn the Israeli flag but that anything involving the star of david is incredibly easy propaganda for zionists to claim antisemitism regardless of the reality.
Cross burning is absolutely a hate symbol used by the Ku Klux Klan. Burning a British flag? Who gives a shit. Burning a wooden cross where minorities can see it? Yeah, I’m reaching for the nearest weapon because I’m about to be fighting for my life.
So we have this but you really really want it to have a star of david. Do you not see how fucked up your logic is here? Also there’s a reason you’ve been banned like 5 times before.
This is literally anti-Semitic. It isn’t “Jewish exceptionalism” it’s just white supremacy. See how they treat all non-white Jews. You seriously need to log the fuck off for a bit.
I am calling Zionists white supremacists. You’re just grasping here. Zionists do not see non-white Jews as equals and it has nothing to do with faith. You are stepping into actually anti-semitic territory with this and proving why we don’t have that emoji.
I would burn a Kkkristian flag with a cross on it in an instant and I don’t think any black person would look at that happening at a demonstration and assume “kkk”. The KKK cross burning was a very specific ritual involving construction of and burning of a physical cross standing by itself either in a yard or near people as a threat or at the center of their ritual gatherings. Backwards patriachal religions have no right to exist nor their symbols of the mythology and superstition any special right to protection when those symbols are at the front phalanxes of the hordes of hate and genocide.
This is just bad faith hasbara tier garbage. Like saying I want to knife Christian children because I’d burn or shoot up a Nazi belt with "god with us’ on it.
Fuck using religions as shields. Religious fascists don’t get it both ways, they don’t get to both use it, be recognized for it, receive protections for it being them and them being it and have the casual/passive support of a majority (last I checked) of the adherents of it in the west yet somehow not owners of it and somehow protected from feeling “unsafe” by incidentally destroying the symbol of their movement which they NOT I, not people against it, put on there (on the flag) as a deliberate shield to be used in just this way. And it’s shameful it works and you lean right into their troll-faced attempts at making anti-semitism hatred of pissrael.
Don’t want it burned? Make those zionist fuckers take it off their fucking flag. Not our fucking job. Not our choice. Don’t blame us.

The star of david and the swastika are both religious symbols.
To enforce this rule means that they should also enforce a rule against burning the nazi flag.
Otherwise it’s just jewish exceptionalism.
So is a cross but you probably wouldnt burn one cause of the implications
Once you get a bunch of crosses in different directions it looks different and therefore doesnt have an association with a racist lynch mob.
Keep going, more gymnastics and contortions for jewish exceptionalism

Exactly. Burning a star of david : bad. Burning Israel flag : good. Give us the burning israel flag emote.

a special exception for the flag of israel is indeed jewish exceptionalism. zionist. whitey calling arabs “white supremacist”

I think these emojis should stay, just for the record, but a significant number of European flags have Christian symbols on them.
