Disclaimer: This flag is not meant to be provocative or as a partisan statement on the current situation in Palestine-Israel or the activism that surrounds it. I made this flag for a much more personal reason, that being that I do not feel that the flag of Israel adequately represents me as a Jew. As much as I appreciate the idea of the flag being viewed by some as a "Flag for the Jews" I personally look at the Israeli flag as just that, a flag for the state of Israel.
I was born in Canada and have lived here all my life. I'm very happy with my life in Canada and with Canadian culture. But Israel, from what l've seen and heard, is a completely foreign land to me, both culturally and politically, I understand that the land itself is very culturally significant to the Jewish people, and I very much respect that, but even then, I feel a much more spiritual connection to the biblical Israel of ancient times than I do of the modern state. And finally, the political climate of the state of Israel has made its flag a most contentious symbol, and the harsh politicization of its image is unfortunately too much of a factor in its usage for me to feel comfortable calling it my own.
In short: The flag of Israel carries far too much baggage, both culturally and politically, for me to want to adopt it as a flag for myself being a Jew who is comfortable where she is. I don't feel that it adequately represents my identity, it is almost completely foreign to me, I've seen some Jews that feel the same way as me, and so that is the reason why l've created this Diaspora Flag.
Description: The flag features four colours, red, yellow, green, and dark blue. In the foreground of the flag is its centrepiece, the blade of a plowshare with the ten commandments sitting behind it, on the commandments are the first ten letters of the Hebrew Alef-Bet.
The design of the centrepiece is lifted from the historical diaspora movement "Am Olam" who's representative symbol was that of a plow and the ten commandments. The plow in this context represents the desire to build a safe and prosperous Jewish home in the diaspora, while the ten commandments represent the Jewish people as well as our Torah, which is the founding document and core of our people and our tradition.
The flag's background depicts a green field and a red sky with seven beams of yellow sunlight emitting from behind the centrepiece.
The green represents the hope that the lands we inhabit will be rich and providing for everyone, and the red sky represents dawn, in the hope that one day the sun may rise on a land where all people are equal and no one is subjugated or pushed out for their race, ethnicity, religion, etc. the seven beams of the sun also represent the seven branches of the Temple Menorah, which is a nod to Jerusalem, a place that still holds a major significance to the Jewish people and our tradition. No matter where we now choose to live, we shall always remember and hold with reverence the land from which our tradition came.
Pig: a presentation and/or identity for Jewish people who want to reclaim being fat/chubby, eating food, cooking and enjoying it.

Two identical flags, each with seven stripes running horizontally. From the top down, the first stripe is a bright pink, the next stripe is a dark pink, the next stripe is a dirty purple-pink. The stripe after that is muddy purple. Under the muddy purple stripe, the three colors prior are mirrored. All stripes are equal in width other than the two dirty purple-pink stripes. The only difference between the two flags is that one has a brown of David in the middle and the other does not.

coming from a Zionist, the Zionism carrd is useful but could really do with some spell check
it’s not made by us ! But by a wonderful friend
a term for when you fall under the cluster-b disorders and are evil. this might mean that the user often participates or exhibits traits that are seen as "evil" due to their disorder (ex. having low-empathy and in turn, might have a reputation of hurting people). whether these actions are intentional or not is up to the user. however, i do not condone harming others for whatever reason and using your disorder as a cushion for your actions.
this is incredibly self-indulgent on my end due to how i acted in the past. please take this with a grain of salt as this was made to be silly. i too once was a bpd evil stereotype, so i can make this for a treat.
this term / flag was created by me, but if this was already coined, consider this an alt. flag. i'm sure i'm not the first.
note : this is a re-upload but with a more /srs description than the last. i think people with cluster-b disorders should be able to destigmatize themselves while also being able to express their more negative / "evil" traits that the public hates.
This is the 3rd time someone as tagged them, which makes it even funnier is that they requested it
when you are Jewish and connected to Guinea pigs in anyway, or like them !

i think you’d see the issue a bit differently if you took the time to speak to palestinian and lebanese people who have been impacted by all of this. just some food for thought. opinions formed in echo chambers usually don’t reflect what you really believe.
hey, mod star here! the idea that we as jews can’t form our own coherent thoughts on an issue that also affects us isn’t quite sitting right with me, nor is the assumption that we don’t listen to those directly affected by the ongoing violence perpetrated by the idf.
while i won’t speak for the other mods, i wanted to give a little context behind my own views. i’m a brown jew, and i spend lots of my time advocating for palestinians due to the need for brown people to stand in solidarity with each other. i not only listen to the voices of palestinians and other affected peoples, but they are my comrades, my friends. to assume that as zionists we aren’t able to stand in solidarity with palestinians is to discredit our morality on the basis of our judaism
