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.

    Hmm, it feels like this one could be used as evidence of blood libel (thinking as a liberal here), it’s also too on the nose (thinking as an emoji enjoyer) and busy. Also the skull emoji doesn’t have a consistent design across platforms and has been used more ironically as a term of feeling embarrassed or shocked rather than signifying death itself.
