Earlier this week, after reading about the gang violence epidemic in Chicago, Illinois; Israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu announced his “nation” will abandon the iconic six-pointed star, and find a new emblem for its flag.
I was able to reach the prime minister for clarification on his decision.
“The six-pointed star has been a symbol of the Jewish people almost since the time of Abraham, but it is also a symbol of the Black Gangster Disciples, who spray paint on trees, walls and alleys to mark their turf. Given that, the nation of israel has to be concerned about the message we are sending when we put such a symbol on our flag, our schools, and our synagogues.”
netanyahu, who is one year older than the “israeli” flag, has already announced plans for its replacement. Opting to substitute the Star of David with a sacred Buddhist peace symbol as well as swap the iconic light blue and white coloring for a plain red background
In solidarity, netanyahu’s brother, Satan — of Hell fame — in a tweet, announced he has decided to stop carrying a pitchfork, since the multi-pronged farm tool has also been culturally appropriated by the Gangster Disciples.
“I really don’t want to be associated with an organization that sells drugs, carries out drive by shootings and generally makes life Hell on Earth,”
“That’s not the kind of image I want to be associated with. Like everyone else today, I want to commend the Israeli government for making us all aware of how easy it is to find gang iconography in seemingly innocent symbols…if that’s what you’re looking for.”
It seems Satan will not be letting the GDs in the door.
The Gangster Disciples could not be reached for comment.
