The Enemy Is Already Here: A 'Palestinian' Flag Now Flies Over an American Town

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."

Video at source.
In fairness, they also flew Israel's flag right after the October 7 terrorist massacre, but that has now been replaced with the antisemitic Palestinian/Hamas flag...

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.

As someone who supports Israel for secular reasons, not religious ideology, my question is, why is either flag being flown by local government in ANY American town?

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?

Neo-Nazism is now "woke".

Hating Jews is trendy and hip.

I'm surprised they didn't chant, "From the river to the sea" as they raised it.


Finally, I wish it was legal to bitch slap idiots and Nazi's.

This seems to be lost on a lot of folks these days.

I'm taking a guess at self loathing and death wishes.

A group called the Jewish Voice for Peace was organizing with the palestian protest which injured some officers in DC.

Funny I don't think this is going to be blown out of proportion like the january 6th protest was. Should they both be treated equally?

Or is it okay for democrats and foreigners to assault police officers, but not okay for white republicans to do so?

Disgusting. Look where it's at though, a certain party is America's worst enemy. They might even hate us more than anti-American terrorists.

Nothing new. From 2017.




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.

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.

And we raise their fekking flag?

Starred for confirming that even in 2017 the Marxist/communist left was stupid enough to fly the flag of a group of terrorists and terrorist supporters dedicated to their death and destruction.

Don't be silly. You've had them for a long time, only they're called FEMA camps. Oooo, ooo I didn't mean to say that. They are emergency aid camps.

Do you none of you see how this article is perpetuating genocidal language? It claims every Palestinian is a terrorist.

There are 1 million children in Gaza. Should they all be wiped out for being terrorists? There are 3 million Palestinians in West Bank who are not ruled by Hamas. Should they be wiped out for being terrorists?

How is using this language any different than "From the river to the sea?"

Hamas killed 12 Brits and are still holding 6 hostage.

Yet we allow the protests over here and over your way. That's the consequence of living in a free society. Which we both do.

Israel killed 34 Americans on June 8, 1967.

It's almost like holding an entire guilty for the actions of their government is silly.

God knows taking that position as an American is extremely ridiculous.

I've seen a few Palestinian flags hung in windows as of late same with Ukrainian ones here in the UK if I'm honest.

I'm sure there will be some Israeli ones about as well somewhere.

I suppose if that's how people choose to show support that's up to them.

The thing is if some drunken idiot or would-be politically oriented wanna-be hard man happens to be passing on by when the pubs close, that leans in the other direction, they may well receive a brick through the window for their troubles.

It can be a bad idea in the same to similar manner hanging or displaying opposing football colours to the wrong crowd.

And yes unfortunately in this day of age, people are still that petty.

But hey'ho it's a free country, the same as your own, and at the end of the day people are free to do as they please with pieces of coloured cloth.
