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.

    I’m in agreement. I missed the first struggle session, but I assume it didn’t get into the fact that (at least according to NATOpedia), the star was first adopted as a Zionist symbol and then as a symbol for Judaism generally (not the other way around). Also, we should dispel the false notion that the star is a religious symbol. My understanding is that it may have appeared from time to time in Jewish texts and Jewish ornamentation, but was never considered a sacred symbol in Judaism (ironically meaning you can put it on the floor, throw it in the regular garbage, burn it, etc. unlike, for example, texts containing the name of god).
