In my opinion leftists should create a Zionist symbol to separate Israel(the state) from Jewish people.

If they can convey the separation of the two for normies that would help their rhetoric game massively. (Israel ≠ Jewish people)

I stand by all effort to deny fascists the luxury of an effective narrative (Israel=Jewish people)

I mean the girl with the poster with the trash bin clearly put the Israeli flag in it, not just the star of David. If that's going to be called antisemetic then there's no symbol you can really use without getting called antisemetic for it.

yeah and the other protest one has the american flag in the middle so it to points to governments. I mean the graffitti at the top is not necessarily related to protests at all. You can always find shitty graffiti. Im sure I could walk around the city and within an hour find something with fag written somewhere.

That being said, using "the final solution" in that context does not look good.

at best, it portrays a comical unawareness of history. At worst, this person is one of the "Hamas, Hamas, Jews into the gas" yellers.

Huh? The flag of Israel already does not mean all Jews. It's a state, not an ethnicity or religion

There is no symbol that can realistically do this. The symbol is just the vessel, and it's subject to change. Defund the police, turns into, well, the police just need more training, turns into, well the police are underfunded, turns into, fund the police. There's not like, a way by which you can easily meme your way out of it, because it's just what happens. The best defense has always just been a kind of moving target.

I vote for Israeli Flag with a swastika in the middle. Or is that a little unsubtle?

I concur. It would help combat the default response of "yOu'Re An AnTiSeMiTe!" to any criticism of Israels policies or its shithead leaders.
