I bet none of these "apolitical" organisations would act if someone displayed a Ukrainian flag and I bet none of them would claim it was potentially sensitive and offensive to Russians.

Supporting Ukraine = nonpolitical

Supporting Palestine = political

Mega double standards when it comes to the two conflicts.

(I am against the Russian invasion, just in case it seems otherwise)

Ukrainian flag - not political. Russian flag - political.

Israeli flag - not political. Palestinian flag - political.

I think that's the point of the lawsuit. You can't claim you're "completely apolitical and non-biased" when you actually support one side of a conflict and punish your employees who support the other side.

supporting the status quo is always political but invisibly so

[maalus@lemmy.world]

All flags are inherrently political. A flag is the ultimate symbol for nationalism. Usually you shouldn't display them in any context, especially in a job that makes you face people from different backgrounds, ethnicities or nations.

So yeah, I'd tell someone to take off the Ukraine background too, not for the "someone might be offended" reason

Now ask these people about Iran, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan. Let's see whether their classification is really based on religion.
