have to justify the attack on Lebanon somehow

also why don’t we have a burning Israeli flag emoji?

    My first instinct is to agree with you, the scoldposts that don’t say/add anything are very annoying but does it really matter if its the Israel flag or not?

    We all know what the substitute is for and no one can accuse this place of anti-semitism. No one here disagrees that Israel is a bad fucked up place.

    I think you should be free to keep posting burning flags and anyone who has an issue should talk to you about it, not hide behind mods.

      No, nobody even knows what the other 2 flags are and always have to ask. New users certainly don’t know what those flags mean. Generation after generation of new user will have to go through this discourse about why Israel flag gets a special status and why isn’t there a burning Israel flag, over and over, repeating the Zionist mythos to all who dare enter hexbear.

      It’s stupid. Everyone here deep down knows I’m right and if I get banned for being hostile or whatever you all will know because I struck too close to the bone. I’m frustrated because people are acting dense as hell when it’s obvious how this is just like the “anti-semitism scares” at Harvard and about “from the river to the sea”, it’s optics cuckholdry but people try to dress it up and defend it and it’s bad faith
