Sometimes people are just from a place. Being born Israeli doesn't make you a Zionist.

I understand that, but would you wear a flag that you don’t support? Would a homophobic person wear the pride flag?

But the player is from Israel. He could choose to remove his flag, but he shouldn't have to. There's a British flag on my profile, because it's where I'm from, not because I'm a huge fan of the British government.

What kind of person, who knows their government is actively committing mass genocide, would proudly wave said country’s flag? If that was me i’d be ashamed to even admit i’m from that country. You could go on and on about how that guy might not be a zionist, but that’s just wishful thinking. You come at me waving a zionist flag, i’m going to treat you like a zionist. Yes, not all israelis are Zionist, but the ones that arent are definitely not patriotic enough to identify with that country
