    You can still criticize Israel, just don't use the flag to do so. Having the star of David on the Israeli flag doesn't stop criticism.

      I’m not saying you can’t it’s just kind of like almost a visual representation how they weaponize legitimate grievances about the unfair persecution of Jews to shut down that criticism

        In the grand scheme of things you have to realize that it's a emoji of a flag on a website. We won't be adding the emoji, that decision doesn't have any wider meaning than "a burning star of David is antisemitic"

          To be clear, I’m not defending or advocating for the use of the emoji, I’m merely lamenting the fact that zionists utilize Jewish history in bad faith and that Jews have been so ruthlessly persecuted that it’s sus to even say anything in the first place. I definitely understand where you guys are coming from on the decision
