The incessant use of triple-parentheses and all the kneejerk antisemitic language was a little too subtle, at least now we have some real clarification as to the agenda of this forum.

I’m referring to the giant red Star of David that wasn’t originally superimposed over the Twin Towers when the banner first went up, but now it is. It’s racist and off-putting. It implies that this community collectively blames Jews for 9/11 and other evils of the world. If you employ imagery like that as the banner, you will attract an element that sees this community as a place to be as racist as possible. Though I give you a lot of shit, I don’t actually think that’s what you want.
It was there originally...the banner was made by a member of the community.
A few weeks ago I asked folks to submit art for a header, and I got 2 submissions. We used one for the light and one for the dark.
Also, it's widely known that conspiracy theorists often implicate Israel in 9/11 as one of the many co-conspirators. Why is that such a big deal? Can Israel do no wrong?
Nah, it wasn’t originally. It was only after he modified it. I have no issue with criticism of Israel. I’m an anti-Zionist. But that’s not the Israeli flag, it’s just a red Star of David which says “Jews” to me and not “Israel.” It’s an important distinction.
Maybe ask clem to modify it?
I think that would fall on deaf ears, but I appreciate you listening nonetheless. You could always revert it back to the original image.
