October 10, 2023 - During a protest in solidarity with the Palestinian people in Sheffield, UK, two people scaled the 60-meter tall town hall to take down the Israeli flag that the local council had raised over hte building. In its stead they raised the flag of Palestine, to cheers from the crowd. [video]/[video]
A week ago, a woman visited Islam's holiest spot, the Kabaa in Mecca, and unfurled a Palestinian flag while smiling for a camera.
Saudi security quickly came to tell her to put the flag away, which she did.

That was the entire incident. But video of it caused an uproar on social media,where people claimed she was "arrested" (she wasn't.) and that she had every right to display the flag.
Haaretz reports that Saudi officials have responded:
Speaking with Al-Ekhbariya TV, Sheikh Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais stressed that the holy site is a place of worship where only religious slogans and chants should be heard.
Al-Sudais, one of the nine imams of the Grand Mosque, said that visitors come to the site to pray and worship, not to express political views. He urged worshippers not to let their emotions distract them from their prayers, suggesting that they pray to God (Allah) for salvation over their concerns rather than expressing demands at the holy site.
This is a policy. Whether one agrees or not, the Saudis have a policy for their holy sites and are trying to enforce it.
Compare this to what regularly happens on the Temple Mount with the full permission of the Waqf:
But they do prohibit the Israeli flag from being shown.
Meaning the only consistent policy shown by the Waqf is antisemitism.
I'm still waiting to hear from any human rights group that Jews should have equal rights to worship on their holiest site.
Shalom. After those days of terror attacks and murders (that we all know) I pray for Israel, for Jerusalem and for all the tzadikim who are living in our beautiful land...
It's heartbreaking...💔
I post the flag as Rabbi Dee (who lost his wife and two of his daughters by a Palestinian murder this weekend) asked everyone to do to support us and remember the victims...
Rabbi Leo Dee responded with dignity and wisdom after a Palestinian terrorist murdered his wife and two daughters. He asked for April 10 to be remembered as Dees Day, encouraging people to make the world a better place. He spoke powerfully against the moral equivalence people make between terrorist aggressors and their victims. He discussed how he and his wife, Lucy, “value life over anything else”. That’s the difference between Rabbi Dee and the terrorist savage that devastated his family. Stand with Rabbi Leo Dee against the evils of terrorism and Jew-hatred. Don’t defend the terrorist or his supporters.
