Replace the current israel-cool 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 catgirl-hiss) 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:

zionist-despair hamas-base free-palestine 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.

      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.
