      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.

          isntrael 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.

                  Why should I engage in any faith good or bad when they accused me of “white pearl clutching” when I told them that Zionism isn’t about Jewish supremacy it is about white supremacy and to look to how they treat non-white Jews?

                  We all know that emoji represents Israel it just doesn’t have the star of david on it. So the only issue they seem to have is not having that symbol on the burning flag emoji.

                    You escalated it into an argument and repeatedly accused them of antisemitism. Your first reply in this thread ends with “get over yourself.” You picked a fight.

                    You’re doing the exact same thing here, but now you’re doing it as a victory lap so you can talk shit to someone who can’t reply. You’re arguing past them and not in any way engaging with what was actually said. It’s deeply reddit behaviour.

                    The fact that they got banned and not you for your blatent violations of the code of conduct is pretty concerning. This isnt how you should treat comrades.

                  Not really, that’s the only thing that’s missing from our representations of israel, and the thing that Zposter keeps requesting - the specific image of the star of david burning. No other representation will do, only a star of david on fire.

                  It’s not like this is new, they’ve been doing it for years, and it always comes down to them specifically wanting a burning star of david rather than any other representation of Israel.

                    No, the thing that’s missing is a representation of Israel the country. Lehi or any other individual Zionist organisation is not the problem with Israel, the problem is the Zionist project which itself is symbolised with a flag on which there is a star of David.
                    The “Burning flag” emotes don’t really add anything to my experience of this site, but it is absolutely caving to the zionist framing of Israel as having ownership of Jewishness to say that you can’t denigrate their flag specifically because that’s antisemitic.

      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.

            spell out in detail, with quotations, how I am being anti-semitic. this is such bad faith nonsense mods are so thin skinned about being wrong about this several years ago and never letting it go
