have to justify the attack on Lebanon somehow

also why don’t we have a burning Israeli flag emoji?

    we’re not a party and don’t have an actual party line. no demcent, except as a bit.

    The whole burning flag thing has become a really weird fixation

    i don’t think it’s weird to have reservations about a symbol that has been associated with all jewish people being used against zionists. zionists do not represent all jewish people

      It’s the fucking Israeli flag. It is not sacred, they brought it down to earth and opened it to desecration, mockery and critique when they emblazoned it on the flag of a colonial nation state. You don’t get to have it both ways, a symbol cannot be sacred and also the banner of a state, it’s battle standard as it takes real material actions. Israel is the one who committed the blasphemy of trying to tie the religion of Judaism to genocidal barbarism, not us. This shows you still have internalized Zionist narratives, accepted their premises, and ultimately fold to their tone policing.
