So it’s a flag in a person’s garden, raised in solidarity with all the innocent victims, including thousands of children, from a nation under siege by hostile neighbours, and according to the man responsible who’s quoted in the article the response has been:
>“I have suffered various attacks for my stance including: Smashing the top of the garden wall and planting in order to tear down numerous flags, throwing of paint over the wall, throwing of beeping and flashing electronic devices into the garden and Sinister letters from Zionists.
>”These actions occurred during the period when I was caring for my beautiful wife with terminal cancer.
>”Following her death I received social media messages mocking my loss.”
If people are distressed by a silent act of solidarity but not appalled by those responses then they need to take a good long look at themselves imo.

Total nothing burger of a situation. UK Lawyers for Israel really going after the big boss with this one, arguing the merits of planning permission based on stuff like the height of the flag pole.
Grasping at straws, but I’m sure they make a good living making an absolute waste of people’s time.

Potentially a silly question, but are there no Palestinian Jews?
I would get it if the flag was flying over an **Israeli** cemetary, but a Jewish cemetary doesn’t have to mean everyone there comes from the same country or hates/hated another country.
Like if the dead could speak, are you/we sure that everyone in their graves would be outraged that a Palestinian flag was flown next to the cemetary? I’m not that certain about that assumption…

Fake outrage then?
Theres many Jewish people that support Palestine.
It’s political leadership of Israel that people have an issue with not the religion.

Why would there be any opposition, let alone outrage to a flag being flown in support of those subjected to genocide?
This is nothing but _even more_ public money wasted defending frivolous shite from Lawyers for Israel.

Outrage for a flag and no outrage for the fact our government is taking active part in the starvation and murder of hundreds of thousands of civilians and the likely genocide of an entire population.

But yeah let’s be outraged at a flag.
The fucking gall.
