    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?
