    Using indigenous Hawaiian Israel Kamakawiwoʻole to represent the occupation is one of the grossest fucking things on this site and whoever signed off on that change should fucking apologize.

      Burning a genocidal flag emoji is too far but disrespecting an indigenous activist is fair game

      It’s been called out multiple times but still stands. It pisses me off a lot. It also changes the meaning of that emoji compared to all of the other “cool” emojis.

      The mods can’t just find a random white dude named Israel but have to pick on some Hawaiian instead. wtf

        It’s been a thing for years since the early days of the site and even the subreddit. The joke is that he’s the good israel. Kind of like how subreddits used to post gifs of shakira every time the subject of sharia law came up.

          no position in the struggle session, but I want to point out that equating cool Israel meme with Reddit athiest islamophobia doesn’t make the point you think it does
