Replace the current
with this image.
This concept image could also be refined and doesn’t have to be submitted as is, if it really is needed, I can also erase the remnant of the blue star of david and just have the red triangle with the fire with the (also religiously significant blue bars so we are going to be called antisemites anyway no matter what).
note: If someone has a better, higher quality rendition of this image (and it’s done in a libre image manipulation tool
) then feel free to post it in the comments including if it’s without the red downwards triangle since that should also be considered.
Also the padding on this image is wild (sorry GNU wilbur), it should most likely be resized to the proper dimensions when it goes through.
EDIT:

and others are all great emojis, but this one of indigenous Hawaiian Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwoʻole is deeply offensive to his legacy and is a mistake to even be included.
If this isn’t accepted, IZ should still be removed from :israel:cool: (maybe even just renamed to something better like :stay-mad-iz:)
IZ should no longer be tied to the genocidal entity.





Why not just a regular Israeli flag burning?
"get 2 birds stoned at once
": meet halfway on the current discourse around burning the star of david while also creating something a bit more original and poignant (the downwards red triangle feels even more threatening to zionist scum)
I prefer the original flag on principle but I appreciate your attempt at compromise and think this one is better than the current one
It also passes the rule 3 bar imo so yeah
because a screenshot of that goes a lot further in painting us as antisemites than all the zionist whinging about the mere existence of palestinians
We have famously never been painted as antisemitic before, so we should make concessions to Zionists. Currently, having basic humanity is enough to be painted as a antisemitic, so why tone down our beliefs to percent something that’s already happening.
i’m merely repeating the previous reasoning
We have plenty of Jewish users and moreso, the zionists lie equating their genocide machine with Judaism just doesn’t hold weight anymore. The world has moved on from this, we are tailing the masses at this point on this line. The only people who care about it are zionists. Not a single Jewish leftist I know gives a single fuck about burning zionist flags. In an internet full of antisemitic websites, this one is not and has never been and is vigilant against it like few others. We don’t need to be playing defense against potential zionist slander of a boutique communist website
and iirc it was a jewish user who decided to not add it previously. circumstances may have changed.
That’s worth noting, I saw someone else say that person may be the one who designed the burning flag emojis in the first place? So if it was a personal decision by a single Jewish user in their own capacity as a designer that is their personal opinion but doesn’t represent Jews at large and shouldn’t necessarily set the site’s precedent if another user wants to make the flag and the rest of the site wants to use it.
We polled trans users and Neuro diverse users on different things, we could poll Jewish users on this or just the user base at large
Yeah WhyEsEff has actually made a preponderance of the emojis overall and does good work for the site, I don’t think she should catch any flak for this because she still left the door open for someone else to come up with the emoji. But that’s also means I don’t think there’s an actual sitewide rule against posting images of burning Israel flags, it was just accepted as a personal decision and left at that, at the time.
This years-long struggle session feels like a mix of a border dispute between two thousand year old countries and a theological debate.
yeah idk i’m happy to not be responsible for the decision.
Hasn’t the Zionists cried wolf so many times that nobody pays attention to accusations of antisemitism?
the law in the imperial nations listens to them, speciously and enforces with prejudice. but having/not having an emoji would just be one point in an ocean of ridiculous claims
probably. and that serves their interest when actual factual neonazi antisemitism (like actual stuff not this proposed emote) shows up and people ignore it.
