Agreed, this is all getting pretty fucking ridiculous. ZPoster has some contrarian takes, usually because ZPoster constantly speaks entirely in pragmatic terms and not within other frameworks in my experience. Like saying "Russia is more socialist than China" is wrong in every way EXCEPT if you define leftist by its most important aspect--fighting against the global hegemonic power of the US--and define literal confrontation as more important than economic and developmental goals. Then they are, which I think is the claim.

I disagree with that, as I often do with ZPosters claims, but people are often not engaging whatsoever with ZPosters positions. This Zionist flag being protected is absolutely related to Jewish exceptionalism, where a specific symbol's relationship to Judaism is put above its use in a genocide in importance. I think the mods are trying to make a defensive argument to avoid the struggles against anti-Semitism accusation (like Awoo said elsewhere), but I find this a terribly weak argument. We are constantly working to oppose anti-Semitism within the community while being principally anti-zionist. This isn't a shift in that policy at all (we will make the exact same correct arguments as we do now about the destruction of the Zionist entity), but one which removes the unnecessary Jewish exceptionalism imposed by the rest of society.
