You do realise that this not Hamas flag right? This is the flag of Palestine, the one that is looking for a political solution with Israel and that Israel was trying to weaken. Hamas flag (the one that Israel was sponsoring) is actually green and white. Same same but different.

When Jewish organisations misuse, overuse, or abuse the word antisemitism, they endanger me, and all Jews. Because if everything is antisemitism - nothing is antisemitism. When the real wolf shows up, no one will be listening. They'll think we're crying wolf again.
We are appalled by the decision of the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to request arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on alleged war crimes charges.

To keep it simple, I'd make it binary: do they support the work of the ICC (regardless of their criticism of its phrasing) or do they oppose it. Austria and Germany still support it, even if they felt the warrants to Israel and Hamas should not have been given at the same time.
