(incidentally) burning a symbol put on the flag NOT BY US

Oh yeah, we were all burning stars of david and then they just happened to put it on their flag later. Fuck off, you understand exactly what context you're doing it in. While you're calling me emotional you obviously have an emotional attachement to specifically burning the star of david. No other reference to Israel will do, it HAS to be the one that directly evokes the holocaust.

You can compare Israel's genocide to the holocaust without a "burn the jews" emoji. Literally nobody is stopping you from doing that. Just don't project your trivilisation of the holocaust, your demand to evoke antisemitism - you can say it's not your fault they put it on their flag all you want, but it is your fault you're ignoring the context of the holocaust - onto me. Don't project your intellectual dishonesty onto me - I'm not a zionist for understanding the context in which I criticise Israel, but you are an antisemite for demanding that you should be allowed to ignore that context.

It "has to be" the actual flag of Israel because Israel is doing a holocaust right now, take this zionist horseshit to reddit

Of course, totally not antisemitic for you to call for a second holocaust against Jews if they're also committing their own holocaust. As we all know, we just need one more genocide and everything will be finally sorted out.

I'm not a zionist, I can just see where the line between antizionism and antisemitism is. You know full well that it evokes the holocaust, you're not even trying to hide it, so you know full well that it crosses the line into antisemitism.

Please point out where anyone has done that here on Hexbear.
