Not really, that's the only thing that's missing from our representations of israel, and the thing that Zposter keeps requesting - the specific image of the star of david burning. No other representation will do, only a star of david on fire.
It's not like this is new, they've been doing it for years, and it always comes down to them specifically wanting a burning star of david rather than any other representation of Israel.
No, the thing that's missing is a representation of Israel the country. Lehi or any other individual Zionist organisation is not the problem with Israel, the problem is the Zionist project which itself is symbolised with a flag on which there is a star of David.
The "Burning flag" emotes don't really add anything to my experience of this site, but it is absolutely caving to the zionist framing of Israel as having ownership of Jewishness to say that you can't denigrate their flag specifically because that's antisemitic.
