    This is the Israeli Flag Emoji

    This is the error message instagram users are getting when attempting to comment with the Israeli flag emoji:

    While it seems that there are some users for whom the flag is not blocked, several Instagram users have complained. Still, Instagram has yet to respond as to why the Israeli flag is the only flag emoji blocked from comments.
