Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Can we have a burning israeli flag emoji? I agree with the guy before and i dont care about anyones feelings on it now
It's been talked about, mods don't want a burning star of David.
I agree with you though.
Pure cowardice. We have several emojis of flags burning that have a cross on them. So clearly we're okay with burning religious symbols. Are we just afraid of being called antisemites? Zionists are going to call us that anyway.
Japanese flag could also be considered a religious symbol
edit: furthermore, something else that has annoyed me but maybe someone can explain: why do we have a Philippines burning flag emoji? They have an ongoing communist insurgency - surely this would be the place where we do something like we've done with India and have (unfortunately) done with Israel and find another flag/group to direct our hate towards?
We have a Russia burning flag despite them being on the forefront of the anti-imperialist front and allied to AES. It’s pathetic that we have that and not the genocidal settler state of Israel. Pitiful
Korean flag also, it's literally semi-Taoist.
I don't think we have a burning south korea flag though
