There was a time in Palestine pre Oslo where waving the Palestinian flag was against the law and Palestinians were arrested and jailed for doing so. Apparently it became a custom to wave slices of watermelon instead. mastodon.social/@Lazarou/11121…
When one of the West's most ghoulish fascists in government says they have your back perhaps it's time to stop and think? #UKPOL #Tories #SuellaBraverman #FreeSpeech
Incidentally, the ban is still in place in the 80% of the West Bank still under Israeli military law. Military Order 101 says: “It is forbidden to hold, wave, display or affix flags or political symbols, except in accordance with a permit of the military commander”.
