Do you personally limit your expressions in any way, with respect to other people (symbols are merely a form of expression).

That depends on whether I agree that the symbol has the meaning that the person that claims to be insulted attributes to it.

Some people claim that the Star of David is a symbol of "racist Zionism" and that it is justified to equate the Star of David with the Nazi swastika. I don't accept that.

Some people claim that "the American flag is a symbol of oppression and hatred, not patriotism and freedom". I don't accept that.

Some people, you being one of them, claim that the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia is a "symbol of slavery and racism". I don't accept that either.
