[HIGHLIGHTS] Apple criticized because of a Palestinian flag emoji that appears when writing the word “Jerusalem”

Apple's iOS 17.4.1 update offered the Palestinian flag emoji to iPhone users. Jewish British TV presenter Rachel Riley is especially indignant as the flag emoji was not offered before the update.

“Having double standards against Israel is a form of anti-Semitism,” she said. Apple indicated that the change to the prediction in the iPhone keyboard “was not intentional” and that the problem will be resolved soon.. Jerusalem is at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel considers the city its historic capital. The international community does not recognize it as such and the embassies are located in Tel Aviv. Only that of the United States settled there in 2019. The Palestinians claim the eastern part of Jerusalem, taken over by Israel at the end of the Six Day War in 1967. The Israelis consider the city their historic capital, but the international community doesn't recognize it. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem is located in the Israeli capital, Tel Aviv, and the embassy in New York is based in Manhattan.
