Hey all. I’d like to open an official discussion regarding the upturning of the prior Hexbear party line on an :israel-cool: emote proper with the unambiguous Zionist flag.

I want to preface this by saying this is not in a ‘ceding the issue’ way. Over the past year I’ve been trying to engage in self-crit w/rt the chauvinism I’ve internalized growing up in a Liberal Zionist household, and my personal viewpoint on it did a 180 some months back, so I want to reopen this discussion proper in my personal capacities as Self-Appointed Emote Czar.

The reason it’s taken long enough beyond that is prior to July, I was essentially half-engaged with the site in order to finish out my degree. After that, it’s been mostly inertia of confirming with the admins and other /c/Judaism mods, as well as having to be rigorous about my job search personally giving me little free time to coordinate this.

I do not want to center myself in this conversation more than I inadvertently already have, so I will leave my own opinion on the issue as a comment rather than explaining further here.

The consensus we’ve roughly come to is to open up the discussion in an official manner for a day or so. After that, I’ll weigh the discussion in an entirely vibes-based manner (sorry Dean Norris enjoyers) and we’ll alter Hexbear party line on it accordingly.

      I’m not going to be convinced that we should play into 100 years of Israeli propaganda tying it to Judaism in order to prove them wrong

      What the fuck is this cope? No one but the liberal zionists like you has been “playing into 100 years of pissraeli propaganda tying it to Judaism”, you are the fucking zionazi coper repeating fascist amerikkkan legalistic arguments in support of securing an exception for pissrael, whining about how “MUH STAR OF DAVID == JUDAISM NO EXCEPTIONS”.

      My IRL experiences are always going to trump the bear site’s theoretical arguments.

      And my IRL experiences are that the vast fucking majority of people agree that burning the pissraeli flag symbolically or irl is not antisemetic. You have overdosed on hasbara copium and are lost in your own twisted fascist delusions.

      I’m just gonna leave either way

      Go away we don’t want fascists here.

      No matter how many people accuse me of zionism I’m not going to be convinced that we should play into 100 years of Israeli propaganda tying it to Judaism in order to prove them wrong.
