“Know how to tell an authoritative government from a democracy? They ban freedoms. Just like America does.”
‘Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvi has reportedly banned the display of Palestinian flags, claiming they ‘encourage terrorism.’ In a statement cited by the Jerusalem Post, the minister said, ‘I have issued instructions for the removal of the flags, which support terrorism, from the public space and to stop incitement against the state of Israel.
The move came after Palestinian flags were flown at an anti-government demonstration on Saturday, and after the release of Israel’s longest-serving Palestinian prisoner, Karim Younis, who flew the flag as he arrived home.
While flying the Palestinian flag is not technically illegal, authorities have the power to remove them if they are deemed a ‘threat to public order.”
