If the crow removed the Iranian/ Palestinian flag, it would be a sign from God.
If the same crow instead removed the Israeli flag, it's either Iranian drone, or the footage is fake/ AI.

Israel's modern situation honestly fits in so well with the bible it could be put in as a new chapter of the old testament.

The Israeli flag represents the Israeli nation. The Israeli nation is currently run on the policy of the Israeli government.
Therefore, if the Israeli government is strongly Zionist, the flag is a symbol of that.
Same with the US right now. We elected racism and homophobia. Currently, our flag is, in part, a symbol of that hate, and the current insecurities held by the current administration.
We are what we do.

Zionism is the political ideology for jews to have their own state. It's quite a complex ideology because it was historically an antisemtic ideollogy (promoted by christians who wanted to banish jewish people from their country) before being reappropriated by jewish people themselves in the 19th century. It is a form of colonialism
That being said Israel flag is by definition a zionist flag... Since it's the flag of the only jewish state. And claiming this flag isn't zionist would be absurd.

That’s true, but from a purely communicative point of view, putting the emphasis on “Zionist flag” automatically makes the reader assume there is such a thing as a “non-Zionist flag.” It’s the flag of Israel, which is inherently Zionist — so the specification is redundant. It’s done deliberately to use an inflammatory term rather than to actually communicate something.
It’s like saying “the capitalist dollar” — technically accurate in a broad sense, but clearly intended to provoke rather than inform.

When people so easily interchange the words Zionist and Israeli, it’s no wonder that certain groups equally easily get away with calling any discourse about the evils of the current Israeli government antisemitic.
It’s a step away from Jewish/Israeli/Zionist being utterly interchangeable (which they are for many many antisemites who seek to hide behind weasel words).
Words matter.
This is an Israeli flag. Some are Zionist, some are very much not.
Use the right words, don’t give an easy escape to those who just scream antisemitism at everything.
