I understand the anger, and that if such an emote existed you would use it as intended, but an emote of basically a Jewish symbol burning is just trouble waiting to happen.
It was likely an at least partly cynical move on Israel's part to do so with their flag, and that sucks, but it is what it is.
We already have rules against bigotry that are vigorously enforced. It's ridiculous to see an ongoing genocide happening and say oh no we can't have a picture of a burning flag because some people might think it's problematic.
As Ive said elsewhere in the thread, I'm currently dealing with Zionists at my place of work trying to shut down all expressions of Palestinian solidarity, so not all of us have the luxury of dismissing this issue so flippantly, "dude"
All these Jewish comrades/other comrades in the thread saying why they aren't cool with this idea, citing their real world experience as why, and you think WE are the ones not taking YOUR experience into account?
Are you picturing everyone else here but you just living in those star wars tanks when they aren't posting?
homie if you insist on taking your feelings about the bullshit you're going thru at your job and funneling it into this emoji thing, and you think anyone here disagreeing about the emoji is the same as shitting on your real life situation, I don't really know where to go from here
I hope you dont take this the wrong way, i say it with peace and love -- you gotta take a step back and see this for what it is. something I learned thru my years of doing political actions and work is that using your time outside of those fights to vibe is so much more effective than using it to shadowbox people on your side. Not every aspect of your life has to be a battleground

Invoking a genocide so you can post an emoji on a shit posting forum is WAY too online dude

Had deleted the comment, but since you clearly already saw it, I'll restore it.
I'm saying YOU are the one being dismissive, since YOUR critique is essentially "you care about this too much."
