When conservatives and other concerned Americans say, "The enemy is already here," believe them. This fact was made abundantly clear Tuesday when the town of North Andover, Massachusetts, allowed the "Palestinian" flag — AKA, the red, white, black, and green symbol of antisemitism — to be raised with the American flag on the common town flag pole.
What makes this whole farce worse is that the North Andover town council had passed a resolution in October restricting flag-flying to "governmental speech."
In reaction to the ugly image, Rabbi Idan Irelander remarked, “It’s a big deal for us to see the Palestinian flag that many of us think represents the attempted genocide of the Jewish people. It basically represents Hamas, since they are the elected ruling party in Gaza.” That's putting it mildly.

But more pertinent at the moment is, why TF would you fly the flag of a group of people who have dedicated themselves and their people to the destruction of not only Israel, but the United States as well?
It is a wet and dreary February afternoon in Union City, the compact and densely populated township sitting on the New Jersey bank of the Hudson River. The rain leaves the streets deserted. Outside the North Bergen mayor’s office, a group of some 50 people cower under their umbrellas and crowd around the flagpoles to the left of the main entrance. The American flag is already raised atop the most prominent pole on the small patch of grass. A new flag runs up the post behind immediately behind it.
The crowd cheer and clap. When it reaches the summit, some climb onto the elevated bank and take selfies with their friends or children. The low wind takes some time to coax the flag from its entanglement, but eventually, the white, green and black stripes and the red triangle of the Palestinian flag are revealed.
Over the past five years, these Palestinian flag-raising ceremonies have become an annual fixture in several New Jersey towns with prominent Palestinian-American communities, such as North Bergen, Clifton and Paterson. I spent the majority of my time between these towns while conducting research on second-generation Palestinians living in the state.

Was Israel in a hot war with the Gaza people back in 2017?

War has been on going for as long as we can both remember. Hot or cold.

Equivocating is not an answer, but it is in that Israel was not in a hot war in 2017.
Now they are.
Palestinians, on Oct 7th, killed 33 Americans.

Nothing new. From 2017.
